Edward Hollis started his career practicing in Sri Lanka, and then in Edinburgh and in 1999, he began lecturing in Interior Architecture at Napier University, Edinburgh, moving to Edinburgh College of Art in 2004, where he is now Professor of interior Design.

Working with follies and ruins in Sri Lanka, modern interventions to historic buildings in Scotland, and in the slippery discipline of Interiors, has focussed Ed’s writing on building stories, which connect time, folk tale, and the built environment. His first book, ‘The Secret Lives of Buildings’ (Portobello Books 2009): a collection of folk tale stories about mythical buildings was published in 2009; and his second ‘The Memory Palace: a book of lost Interiors’ (Portobello Books 2013) was published in 2013. His third book, ‘How to Make a Home’ was published for the School of Life in 2016.​

Ed has also been involved in diverse projects in using storytelling to help develop new uses for old buildings, from St Peter’s Seminary at Cardross to Riddles Court, the oldest house in Edinburgh, to now Asansol, a mining town in India built by Scots engineers in the nineteenth century.
