The Breakfast Mission
The Breakfast Mission is the home of Richard Murphy Architects. Richard Murphy founded his practice in 1991. Its early reputation was built on highly crafted and innovative domestic work in the Edinburgh area many of which were built by Inscape Joinery. The practice now has undertaken projects in England, Ireland, Japan, Wales, Sri Lanka, Malta and in the Netherlands, as well as in Scotland
Richard Murphy defined their goals as to make architecture equally of its place and of its time.
Richard Murphy Architects purchased the majority of the 'Edinburgh Free Sabbath Breakfast Mission' in 2000 and converted the premises into workspace area for themselves and others. A mezzanine floor was inserted into the original mission hall and a new staircase links all levels including the basement garage and stores.
Richard Murphy Architects occupy the mission hall, the middle floor is let to like-minded disciplines.
In October 2005 the new entrance and signage to the office were completed.
