Intimate group of two-storey courtyard houses and four-storey flats, by what has become a high-profile practice. St Ninian's Terrace, Ballater Street and Laurieston Road, 1990s, Holmes Partnership. Two crescents of brick-built four-storey flats, articulated by projecting porch entrances and cap featured stair glazing. Tulip Hotel, Ballater Street, 1999, ADF Partnership. Sympathetic plan for 114 bedrooms and 39 student residences, acknowledging the crescent across Laurieston Road.

Malta Crescent, 2000, Hypostyle. City block of 203 owner-occupied homes over four storeys. Articulated crescent form, with deep recessed entrances marked by suspended sculptures. [55] The Gatekeeper, Kidston Terrace, 2001, Hypostyle.
