Greig Penny has been speaking to Homegrown Garden Centre of Gartcosh, near Coatbridge

With Father's Day around the corner, Edinburgh architect Greig Penny shares his thoughts on nature, architecture and fatherhood.

I share a home on the coastal east side of Edinburgh with my partner, our 20-month-old daughter, and our dog. We love being by the sea, close to the many beaches and coastal towns East Lothian has to offer, while still having easy access to Edinburgh’s city life. When materials need to be covered, I often prefer the timelessness of whites or the softer, warm, natural tones of clay plasters. Natural light and its play on surfaces create an atmosphere and ambience. For colour, I tend to go bold — for example, colour-drench a room in terracotta, green or yellow — or selectively highlight individual elements. This approach creates a calm and welcoming feel to the space.

Even on days when the weather confines us indoors, there's a sense of calm in observing the natural world from the comfort of home. Internally, I encourage the inclusion of plants to add life to spaces - not to mention the myriad health and mental benefits they offer. Inspired by a visit to New York, I’ve recently fancied myself as a pizza chef, and we’ve had a few garden parties cooking in a portable garden pizza oven. A revitalised decking area and new outdoor furniture have given us the opportunity to invite friends over and gather outside when the Scottish weather permits it.
