Malcolm Fraser has reunited with Robin Livingstone to form a new practice four years on from the closure of Malcolm Fraser Architects.
One of the practice's first projects will be a restaurant overlooking the Water of Leith at Canonmills Bridge in Edinburgh, opposite the former Earthy store.
Other pipeline projects include a business hub in Kinning Park in Glasgow and a distillery on the Isle of Barra.
Malcolm Fraser, left, and Robin Livingstone said: "We will also continue to advocate for architecture to put social responsibility at its heart, with its professionalism at the service of the health and wellbeing of society and the wider care we all must take of the environment."
"Fraser/Livingstone is a new practice, formed in January 2019, and an old one, grown from Malcolm Fraser Architects, which Malcolm led from 1993 to 2015 and where Robin worked for ten years."
Mecca bingo owner Rank Group posted a double-digit fall in profits as low consumer confidence and adverse weather weighed on sales.
In a "tough" six months which ended on December 31, pre-tax profits declined 31 per cent to £22.8 million as revenue fell 1.7% to £366mn.
Low consumer sentiment affected the company's UK retail businesses with Grosvenor casino and Mecca bingo recording like-for-like revenue down 4.7% and 3.3%, respectively.
Chief executive John O'Reilly said the first half of the financial year was a "tough trading period", but he was "encouraged by the group's improved performance" in the second quarter.
"The three-year transformation programme that we outlined at our full-year results in August 2018 is now well under way with nearly 300 initiatives identified and tasked.
"The programme will gain further momentum in the second half of 2018/19 and the management team is positive about what can be achieved.
The head of electricals retailer AO World has stepped down, with the chain's founder swooping back in to take the helm.
Chief executive Steve Caunce, 50, has quit with immediate effect to "step back to a less demanding business role and re-balance his lifestyle", according to the group.
John Roberts, who led AO World until Mr Caunce was promoted in February 2017, has been reappointed to take the reins.
Mr Caunce will remain involved in the business on a part-time basis as an adviser to the chief executive and the board.
The move comes after AO World posted an £11.7 million operating loss for the six months to September 30 amid a challenging UK and German market.
But the group enjoyed a record Black Friday, with sales surging 8.2 per cent over the third quarter ended December 31.
The firm said Mr Caunce had led the group through "two years of intense activity".
Mr Caunce said: "It is a privilege to have played a significant part in AO's success and to have led the company for the last two years.
"I have decided to step down at a time when I feel AO is well-placed to continue to thrive as a leader in our sector."
