A political awakening spurred by an energetic independence referendum has infiltrated all corners of society, not least a construction sector hamstrung by severe and persistent structural failings; ranging from regressive procurement policies to an economic model which is failing to deliver the volume or quality of new homes needed. But whilst our elected leaders bicker over what stance and shape Scotland should adopt to meet these challenges it is architects who must take the bit by the teeth and get on with the task in hand of building the homes, offices, hospitals and schools which will define us in the years ahead.

That productivity has given rise to no less than 117 submissions to the Architecture Scotland Annual, a rich crop of bricks and mortar which proves (independent nation or not) Scotland is fortunate to boast a wealth of design talent.

It was a challenge to squeeze these into the restricted confines of this book but after a little cramming we managed to distil a full 365 days of work into the 136 pages of wood pulp the printers gave us to play with.

By upping our page count we’ve been able to cram more architecture into our 2014 line-up than ever before with more spreads, more buildings and more photography to enjoy. The cumulative effect of this is to impart a firm conviction that

future years can only improve as confidence slowly returns to the market.

That optimism is lent credence when you cast eyes over the trove tucked away beneath these words; including (without giving away too many spoilers) the muscular form of Ryder’s Scottish Crime Campus, which gets to the DNA of its brief, Reiach & Hall’s chest-thumping Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre and Morgan McDonnell’s genteel refurbishment of a Robert Adam terrace in Edinburgh’s New Town. There is plenty here to set patriotic hearts beating.

In fact the sheer volume and diversity of submissions mean we must inevitably pass over some work and I urge you to take the time to visit urbanrealm.com to see the full roster - if you have not yet done so.

It has been a landmark year for politics, sport and the national spirit but now that the dust has settled these heady events leave only memories behind. Instead it is left to the construction industry to bequeath us a tangible legacy of an extraordinary year and this publication salutes those efforts.

Enjoy the show for now and we’ll see you again next year.

Beefeater Gin Visitor Centre Public Kennington, London Lee Boyd has collaborated on a new visitor centre for Beefeater Gin at their central London distillery.

The bold extension provides a point of entry to the centre, links the different parts of the distillery and allows visitors to move from the exhibition floor to the stills house without interrupting the day to day workings at Beefeater.

The principal challenge for the design team was to address context by integrating the new visitor centre into a fully functioning distillery that combines industrial buildings from different eras and sits alongside active Victorian gasometers behind the famous Oval cricket ground.

Lee Boyd was tasked with creating a new external building, providing a distinct point of entry for the centre and linking the two existing distillery buildings together with vertical circulation that would take visitors from the exhibition areas to the cathedral-like Stills House.

Grassmarket Community Project Public Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh Having worked with Greyfriars Kirk since 2004 on various projects Gareth Hoskins Architects were asked to extend the existing Kirkhouse in the Old Town of Edinburgh.

The successful programmes of wood-work, cookery and art classes run by the Kirk for the homeless community had outgrown their original venue and in addition a lettable community hall was requested to provide a vital income stream to fund the social enterprise activities.

The tight site adjacent to the grade A listed Kirkyard was formerly occupied by three derelict industrial warehouses. The aim is to contribute a strong contemporary addition to the World Heritage Site through a building of exceptional architectural merit. Larger double height volumes benefitting from toplight are located next to the eight metre high Kirkyard wall with smaller more cellular spaces located around the perimeter.

A sedum roof gives the impression of an extension to the kirkyard punctured by the monolithic rooflights which are wrapped in the same metal cladding as the perimeter walls.

The Greyfriars Kirk community project completed in 2013 with a budget of ÂŁ1.4m.

Scottish Crime Campus Public Gartcosh The Scottish Crime Campus brief was complex in terms of adjacencies, security levels and non-contamination of evidence, but also aimed to encourage common purpose.

Many of the functions carried out within the building are concerned with identity and identification. The faรงade and building concept take some of the visual references associated with the process of identification and abstracts them to give the building itself, as well as the working environment, a clearly recognisable identity.

Vertical orientation of the faรงade breaks up the horizontality of the massing, providing rhythm and variety, and is inspired by various visual references, including DNA sequence art, barcode band artworks and fingerprint dermal ridges.

Window on Wild Lindisfarne Public Northumberland Icosis were appointed in 2009 by Natural England to create a new visitor building on the main route between Lindisfarne village and the Castle on an SSSI and Ramsar designated site, partly covered with pools of water providing an excellent habitat for a birds.

The building is intended to focus views out over the field and bird activity via a large window, whilst interpretation and an AV presentation highlight other wildlife elsewhere on the island during the various seasons.

The building was designed to break through – but remain part of - the stone field wall that runs alongside the road, and the new walls were built back-bedded to appear as a natural drystone wall, similar in tone to, but aesthetically different from, the existing field wall. Pockets were left within the stonework at high level to encourage small birds to nest within the walls of the building itself. The large window overlooking the external pool and fields beyond was formed using specialist Ornilux glass, which contains a mesh of lines coated onto the glass (like a spiders web) barely visible to humans, which reflects UV radiation and helps prevent bird strike.

Externally, seats and information panels are integrated into the stone walls. On the roof, the soil set-aside from the foundations was reinstalled and allowed to self-seed.

Scottish Canals 'Living on Water' Public Forth and Clyde and Union Canals In 2012 Scottish Canals commissioned rankinfraser to design the on-land facilities for their pilot Living on Water site at Leamington Wharf, Edinburgh. Following the success of that initiative Scottish Canals progressed with developing a series of other sites to enable people to live on one of Scotland's canals.

These sites ranged from secluded rural sites such as Causewayend Basin near Linlithgow to urban and post industrial sites such as Applecross Basin in Glasgow.

Rankinfraser developed the storage huts designed for Leamington into three typologies suitable for urban, rural and industrial locations across the Lowland canal network.

The huts are based on the same timber frame module and clad variously in horizontal timber boarding, cedar shingles or steel. The colours of the huts are carefully matched to complement or contrast with their specific contexts.

Castle Park Visitors Pavilion Public Craigmillar Castle Park, Edinburgh Bereavement Services from The City of Edinburgh Council were clear about their aspirations for the project at the outset. The building would not simply fulfill a requirement for toilet provision on a cemetery site but it was to be a gateway building.

There was a need to provide a place for spiritual contemplation and a building that the community of Craigmillar would take pride in.

Due to the restrictions on staff attendance on the site, the building had to achieve a high level of security against vandalism.

The concept for the building came from the idea that the building could frame the view of The Crags beyond providing the perfect backdrop for quiet contemplation. This was further developed into a “box in a box� idea with a larger white box supporting an external experience to and around the building. This encloses a smaller black box which accommodates the internal facilities. A contemporary mi nimalist aesthetic was adopted which we feel gives the building a sense of dignity and calm.

Dalmarnock Station Public Glasgow The presence of the original riveted beams and sandstone masonry at Dalmarnock Station gifts the new works a visible history.

Our intention was to retain and expose the textures of the 19th and 20th centuries in order that an architecture may emerge where successive layers are contrasted with the next in order that each can hold their original integrity and inform the other.

The new station design has a new public entrance and ticket hall lead to two new stairways and an enhanced platform experience.

The new station enclosure is seen as a diaphanous, translucent skin, uncommon in this location and representing a delicate counterpoint to the familiar textures of the original masonry. The new skin is orientated to maximise the internal environments relationship to the rail line and provide enhanced levels of natural light. The secondary function of the new skin is to form threshold spaces entrances at the interfaces with the outside world. Folds in the external surface have come to define entry from Dalmarnock Road and the emerging Dalmarnock Cross.

For the new station environment we relate both old and new elements under a ‘table cloth’ roof of undulating dark anthra zinc. The parallel rail line geometries set out by the glass facade are reinforced within the roofscape as a series of narrow folded planes, capturing the stations built elements on both sides of the line in a form more able to communicate to the city itself.

Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre Public Esplanade Fife Council’s £12m Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre presents its ‘public’ face to the waterfront with a dynamic and active façade. The orientation of the building and the entry sequence seeks to reinforce Tolbooth Street as the primary public realm link from the High Street.

Leisure facilities have been orientated to the front of the centre to maximise the animation of the waterfront edge. The building becomes a shop window to the Esplanade displaying the cafe, pool, fitness area and foyer - with light, colour, activity and vibrancy engaging and delighting the public.

The massing of the building has been broken down to respond to the smaller scale and roof-scape of the adjacent context with simple, dynamic forms adding drama and visual tension. Internally the double height foyer offers visual permeability across both swimming pools with connectivity to the first floor café pod. The cantilevered fitness suite hovers dramatically above the entrance with links to the first floor gymnasium and aerobics studios and glimpse views down into the pool halls.

The Noust Boathouse Public Scarinish, Isle of Tiree The challenges in achieving Tog Studio's first permanent building were clear; find a client, source funding and produce a design that could be constructed in one week by a team with no prior experience.

With funding secured from the Tiree Community Windfall Fund, Tog Studio were commissioned to deliver a boathouse for the Tiree Maritime Trust, a charity formed to ensure the preservation of the island’s cultural heritage of traditional boat-building and restoration. Architecture and engineering students were recruited to construct the building, this gave participants an opportunity to learn practical construction skills and gain on-site experience as a ‘live-build’ summer school.

The Boathouse is designed to be robust, spacious and lightweight, featuring a ply box portal frame structure comprised of Scottish C16 timber and CNC-routered plywood. This precise structural solution, cut at the MAKLab, was partially prefabricated to accelerate construction time. The curvilinear forms of the boats influenced the structural frames, whose tapered archways recall upturned boats.

Clydebank Civic Heart Public Dumbarton Road, Clydebank The Clydebank Town Hall complex has been redeveloped to create a welcoming, vibrant hub for the local community – a ‘Civic Heart’.

The Town Hall complex, designed by James Miller in 1900 comprised a variety of uses: from the ‘assembly ‘ halls of the Main and Lesser Halls, the Lecture Hall, Council Chambers, District Court and Police Station.

Over the years the Police Station and Court facilities have moved out of the Category B-listed buildings and the local museum has moved in. Although the original buildings contained some fantastic main spaces the circulation through narrow corridors was very disorientating and un-welcoming.

Careful ‘stripping away’ internally at ground floor level has enabled the creation of new generous foyer spaces and a legible circulation system to support the main spaces. These top lit routes provide space for the Museum, previously concealed within a corner of the building, to expand and occupy the new foyer and café spaces.

The former dilapidated baths building, which was demolished under a separate building contract, has given way to a new build gallery extension overlooking a newly landscaped garden.

Michael Wood Sport & Leisure Centre Public Viewfield Road, Glenrothes The £21m new-build Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre creates an engaging and stimulating environment that improves health by actively encouraging participation in sports and leisure facilities.

The building promotes accessibility for all with a clear sense of arrival and a layout that is simply laid out and easy to navigate. The large sports hall and pool hall volumes combine to generate a striking contemporary facility with the complex juxtaposition of cubic forms flooding the interior with natural light..

Dramatic glazed slots offer glimpse views into the pool hall while the glazed fitness suite that activates the frontage to Viewfield Road enjoys expansive landscape views. The foyer, reception and cafe are positioned to connect visually to all key functions within the building with key linkages between changing and sports areas and connections to high quality cafe areas.

Materials have been carefully selected to be durable, easily cleaned and low in embedded energy.

The centre is one of the best equipped facilities in Fife, offering Regional standard sports and leisure facilities and a huge range of programmes and activities. Thanks to a choice of 3 swimming pools, 85-station gym with stateof-the-art equipment, fitness studios, squash courts, sports hall, outdoor pitches, health suite, crèche and café – the centre delivers unrivalled choice and quality. Since its doors opened in the summer of 2013, thousands of people, of all ages and abilities, have taken advantage of the centre’s contemporary, welllaid out facilities.

The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre Public Stirling Reiach and Hall Architects were appointed by the National Trust for Scotland, in collaboration with Historic Scotland, for The Battle of Bannockburn visitor site, near Stirling.

The overall project consisted of four distinct yet complimentary parts: significant conservation work to the category A listed monuments, including the Rotunda, the magnificent bronze Equestrian Statue, the Flagpole and the Cairn carried out by Reiach and Hall Architects; improvements to the overall landscape of the site and landscape works associated with the new visitor centre carried out

by Ian White Associates; a new visitor centre

by Reiach and Hall Architects and a radical dramatic interpretation of the Battle carried out by Brightwhite Ltd. The role of the visitor centre is concerned with increasing the understanding of two fundamental issues, landscape and its part in the victory and the telling of a remarkable story. The new landscape design and the design of the new building attempt to give a sense of discreet dignity to this historic battlefield through simple and durable forms and materials. The drama of the story however has been retold through ground breaking digital technology allied to exhaustive historical research and incorporating an exhibition and audio-visual presentation that illustrate the battlefield events of June 1314, when King Robert the Bruce routed the forces of King Edward II to win freedom for the Scots.

The Hydro Public Glasgow The Hydro joins the Clyde Auditorium on the northern edge of the River Clyde to create a new entertainment destination. A highly flexible indoor venue, the 12,500-capacity arena provides a combination of fixed, retractable and removable seating to enable a wide range of different staging and concert layouts – it can also be configured for a number of sporting events.

The building’s form is generated from the inside-out by the seating, which wraps around the stage above ground level and rises toward the front, optimising viewing angles and drawing the audience closer to the performance.

The roof canopy follows this distinctive angled profile, rising away from the busy main road to the rear to reveal a dramatic 40-metre-high elevation to the south – its dramatic structure spans 120 metres in a shallow dome of diagonally latticed steelwork. The upper part of the building is clad in ripples of a translucent material, onto which can be projected patterns and images, and which can be illuminated to make the building glow like a beacon.

Opening up the riverside, the arena is set back from the water’s edge to frame a new public square between the two buildings. The main entrance is to the south, via a top-lit lobby.

Hillhead Community Centre Public Kirkintilloch macmon worked closely with the local community to design new facilities to meet the needs of local residents.

Hillhead Community Centre comprises a reception area, flexible hall, café/teaching kitchen, créche, base for the local food co-operative, a number of rooms for multiple activities and outdoor space options for children, sports and allotment gardening. The centre will also act as a base for East Dunbartonshire Council's Active Schools and Positive Alternatives programmes, both aimed at young people.

The design is simple and rational with a robust masonry public façade and a softer timber façade addressing an enclosed community courtyard and landscaped garden to the rear of the building.

Riverford Road Public Glasgow Riverford Road is a public realm and gardens enhancement project bringing together artists, architects, landscape designers, local school children and the community.

Collective Architecture were commissioned to design a lighting installation illuminating the main pathways, mounded garden features and granite benches.

We worked closely with a European lighting manufacturer to develop a new column and luminaire product. This involved the rotary engraving of bespoke patterns in a specially designed CNC mill. The final column was assembled in Germany, tested and delivered to Glasgow where it was installed by a local contractor. The columns were individually positioned next to silver birch and cherry trees where the lighting could interact with the tree canopy to create constantly changing patterns of shadow and light.

A halloween themed community event was held on completion of the lighting. This involved local schools and community groups participating in further activities and games, culminating in a count-down to the switch on.

Cliff House Residential Isle of Skye The building is first seen from the curved path as a wall in front of the dominant background.

As the path unfolds and cuts deeper into the landscape, this relationship changes, with the building becoming the dominant focal point.

This suspense is released upon entry. One wall of the main open volume is omitted and the visitor stands in front of a fully glazed screen atop of the cliff. The topography of the site allows the surrounding landscape to be experienced as a panorama. The built space ends with the horizon.

The building consists of two volumes, one closed the other open. The voids created are fully glazed and the volumes and their location remain readable from the inside. They act as vistas, remaining open in the in-between and looking back on both the building and its setting.

Caithness stone is used for the retaining wall and larch for the open plan main rooms.

On the interior, materials are omitted to give dominance to the characteristics of the site acting as a gallery filled with the objects and memories the client surrounds themselves with.

House No.7 Residential Tiree The Living-house, containing living/kitchen/ dining spaces with master bedroom below, functions as the social heart of the new home.

The living space is a half level up from the entrance with the master bedroom sunk into the landscape with views to the sheltered garden. Access to the garden, created by the removal of the sand blow build up around the existing cottage, and the beach is from the southern end of the space.

The Guesthouse is constructed in the stone from the original cottage containing two guest bedrooms, a bathroom and a quiet snug/entertaining room with an open link to the main hall in the utility.

The Utility is the functional heart of the building containing laundry facilities along with a wet room in which to clean off the sand from the beach or fish scales from the sea and a studio/lego room for painting and play.

This third element, with the feel of a covered outdoor space, seamlessly links the other elements of the house allowing family and guests to interact as they choose.

The interior of the house offers a counterpoint to the robust architecture of the exterior, filled with natural light; the finishes are intentionally robust with inspiration for the palette taken from local Tiree architecture. Heating is provided through an air-source heat pump.

To give the project a more intimate scale, courtyards were created to provide shelter and communal recreational areas for residents. A sustainable landscaped green roof was also installed with parking space below.

The silhouette of the building has been fragmented into several integrate forms to avoid an overpowering presence. These broken forms are intricately detailed to give an elegant contemporary appearance within the rural surrounding context.

Internally the generously proportioned rooms have been based upon Georgina period homes and each flat contains a distinctive curved bay window. The dual aspect and stepped form of the building along with generously sized windows flood the apartments with natural light. Many apartments feature distinctive roof terraces and balconies making the most of the stunning surrounding scenery.

The apartments feature marble floors, glass sliding doors and under floor heating.

Camus Avenue Residential Fairmilehead, Edinburgh The client's brief for this extension, to a modern detached property in the south of Edinburgh, was to design an additional living room and a larger porch plus internal alterations to form a new open plan kitchen / dining space, remodelled utility room and a new WC. The new living room is entered through new bespoke double half glazed doors onto an upper level, which was proposed as a new study / library area and overlooks the main living space. This upper level is half in and half out of the original house.

The existing kitchen and dining room were knocked together to form one large open plan room to the back of the house. The room was reconfigured to also include the same bespoke double half glazed doors that mirror those into the extension. The dining room window was taken down to floor level to match the existing patio doors from the kitchen transforming this room into a very light and airy space.

The existing porch was cramp and unwelcoming so this was also extended out to triple its size and transform the entrance.

Centurion Way Residential Yorkhill, Glasgow Centurion Way provides 87 mixed tenure flats in compliance with 'housing for varying needs' guidance with emphasis on contemporary architecture providing a sense of place and sustainability.

The development occupies a brown field site sandwiched between the Southern boundary of Yorkhill Park and a key rail link.

Buildings are located as far as possible from the rail and traffic noise and south facing windows incorporate noise reducing glazing.

In order to reduce the impact the buildings have on the amenity of the park, massing was broken in to four blocks with a view to retaining the vistas between the buildings.

The relationship with the park setting was further celebrated by ensuring perimeter fencing was kept to a minimum, defining the private space with out losing the open feel of the surroundings.

Both externally and internally the four blocks are completely 'tenure blind' with only differences being in the provision of white goods and appliances to shared equity and mid-market rent blocks.

Clydeford View Sheltered Housing Residential Cambuslang, Glasgow This brownfield site project for South Lanarkshire Council is a U-shaped development at ground floor with vehicle access to the south. The basic concept is that of a three storey L-shaped perimeter 'wall' addressing the street facing north and east with the majority of flats maximising views over the adjacent Cambuslang Golf Course.

Valuable solar penetration to the internal courtyard from the south to south west is obtained by keeping the ancillary building to one storey. The building also allows evening solar penetration to courtyards in summer months.

The built form echoes the scale of the surrounding buildings, and the decision to avoid double banked artificially lit corridors ensures that natural daylight penetration is maximised through the use of a narrow building footprint.

Culdarroch Residential Inveralligin, Achnasheen Comprehensive redevelopment, re-planning and extension to a remote former croft and post office on Loch Torridon poses challenges both in construction resourcing and design detailing to address the often severe weather conditions of the north-west highland cost.

The brief for the project, located in the hamlet of Inveralligin on the north shore of Loch Torridon was to re-plan the former cottage and garage/store to provide a new house and separate letting unit; maximise the fine views to the south-west across the loch; and to create a contemporary interior.

The design response was to create a minimally detailed highly glazed extension to the front of the cottage building, open up the ground floor plan to form a large living/dining/ kitchen space with smaller study off; re-form the former garage and re-plan the original bothy to create a self contained two bedroom open letting unit with a living area also highly glazed to the loch-side.

Devonshire Row Residential West End, Glasgow Devonshire Row is surrounded by listed Victorian terraced buildingsin Glasgow’s West End, This residential development was an enabling project for Hillhead Sports Club, who released a narrow strip of land along the boundary of their sports ground.

The architectural approach responds to the existing townscape character, respecting the adjacent Conservation Area and retains a line of significant mature trees. The proposal emulates the surrounding built form, respecting the rhythm and massing of the adjacent listed terrace whilst adopting a contemporary design approach. Stone is the primary external material, ensuring that the quality of the development is immediately apparent.

Internally the apartments boast uncompromised spatial principles of large rooms, high ceilings and generous windows.

This development has encountered many obstacles to bring it to fruition, taking 8 years from initial brief to completion, with an extensive consultation process involving planners, local residents, developer and client.

Vicarfield Street Homes & Community Garden Residential Govan, Glasgow The Vicarfield Street housing development and community garden comprises 61 new homes for rent, and a further 20 for sale through New Supply Shared Equity for firsttime buyers from the area. The homes are energy-efficient, have low carbon emissions and are easy to maintain.

Red brick and metal detailing is used to reinforce the area’s industrial heritage, and the sawtooth layout of the townhouses echoes the pattern of the bays of the adjacent tenement block.

The community garden has 19 plots that were first offered to Vicarfield Street residents before being opened out to the wider Govan area. One plot is for community use and is fully accessible, with a large raised bed and wide paths. The plotholders can access a communal building with lockers, toilets and a kitchenette.

Within the garden, an area has been planted with apple trees which will become, in time, an urban orchard. Similarly, the hedges bordering the plots are fruit bushes that will bear edible produce and encourage bio-diversity.

Adjacent plots share a potting shed, planting beds and a raised gabion bed for plants requiring a greater depth. The intention is that the produce from the garden will be used in the wider community.

Lawfield Farmhouse Residential Edinburgh Built circa 1850 and extended in Victorian times the farmhouse retained many original features so the potential to bring this rather sad building back to a useful life was very attractive.

The first step was to remove an annexe, retaining all the useable stone to be rebuilt as a solid flank wall to contain the new extension. The extension would be, structurally and stylistically, a dramatic contrast to the existing house - a high tech, triple-glazed structural glass and super-insulated glulam structure.

Structural alterations here included removing and replacing the roof to provide more habitable space, a bigger kitchen, ensuite and dressing room for the master bedroom and more appropriately sized rooms.

The distinctiveness of the two sections to the building was extended throughout the design, from the specification of the wood burning fires to the flooring and wall colour choices.

Lighthouse Court Residential Granton Harbour, Edinburgh Lighthouse Court is a seven storey residential development comprising a mixture of ground floor duplex accommodation with stylish one, two and three bed apartments above that take advantage of views over the River Forth.

To the rear of the development a range of three storey family townhouses are located to reflect existing streetscape densities and scale. Within the heart of the development a private decked landscape garden area is provided with naturally ventilated undercroft car parking for the apartments.

Materials and the architectural style reflect an already approved adjacent streetscape design to the main boulevard ensuring a cohesive streetscape in terms of scale and materiality.

The development forms part of an approved masterplan and design code for the wider Granton area.

Mizpah Cottage Residential Dornoch This Tardis like extension to an already extended cottage in the planned Dornoch Firth village of Embo is a case of maximising space on a minimal site. Architects HRI were asked to provide additional accommodation in a rear garden area less than eight metres wide with strict planning limitations in place.

The solution provides a double height living room space – with an internal mezzanine space for the upper floor bedroom, accessing a study and first floor – in addition to a relocated rear entrance and wet room/utility space.

The unashamedly contemporary design creates a larch clad tower element linked to a gable glazed full height living space to an identical section as that of the pre-existing extension.

The project creates a surprising spatial experience and externally makes a powerful local contribution to the tightly planned semiurban village grid plan.

Orchard Neuk Residential Gattonside, Roxburghshire Orchard Neuk is a two storey dwelling located on a sloping site in the Scottish Borders conservation village of Gattonside. The building replaces a deteriorating single storey dwelling that was deficient in aesthetic, spatial and thermal qualities.

Guided by the orientation and topography of the site, the building form is derived from the logical arrangement of semi public living space on the ground floor that responds to the view and southerly aspect. To the north and above the single storey is a gabled element that houses the more private bedroom and bathroom spaces.

A retaining wall allows the north part of the ground floor to recede into the slope of the site. This enables the topography, together with the single storey element to largely conceal the bulk of the two storey building when viewed from the public realm.

Internally, the 13m x 2.5m glazed elevation affords the ground floor a fabulous view south, and slides open to extend the living space into the terrace and garden. A west facing picture window frames the view.

Q10, Quartermile Residential Edinburgh Q10 is the very dense social housing on the former Royal Infirmary site in Edinburgh. The project, as originally designed, had its numbers and density considerably increased when the balance of residential accommodation in Foster & Partners’ masterplan was considerably increased.

The resulting density of a scheme creating 174 affordable apartments in a single courtyard block broke all local guidelines. The practice proposed a version of a Wiener Hof with a single entrance to a courtyard with a lift and stair towers in each corner. The massing is eroded towards the south west corner to admit as much sunlight as possible and in compensation for the small amount of communal space in the centre many of the flats have their own generous roof terraces and corner balconies.

The exterior of mottled grey terra cotta tiles makes reference to Foster’s own (more expensive!) metallic cladding nearby. Corners are celebrated with balconies and an over sailing z inc roof.

The common areas, although deep in the plan, are still naturally lit with a view to the outside at each floor. The interior of the courtyard is white render and glass with a planting regime that we hope will completely cover the elevations with greenery in time. The building will thus have a hard exterior shell but a semiprivate green heart.

At the ground floor there is management (concierge) office, a nursery school for 50 children and a cafe is proposed for the final commercial space.

Taigh Sonas Residential Dumfries and Galloway This house is sited in a rectangular natural hillside plot accessed off the main road into Kippford on the Solway Coast. It was our intention to create a contemporary house which responds to the slope of the site over three levels to capture scenic views.

Our design uses a lightweight but highly insulated steel and timber frame construction, clad in cedar weatherboarding at upper levels, weathering to a natural silver grey colour to complement the hues of the lower level stone walls. The roof finish is pre-weathered grey standing seam zinc. Windows and external doors are triple glazed high performance timber.

The main entrance is sited at the lower ground to the north west and a double height staircase leads to the main hall/living/dining/kitchen space, providing panoramic views over the Urr to the north-west, and access to the terrace/lawn to the south-east. The double height staircase in the hall leads on up to the first floor lounge/terrace allowing elevated views to the hills. Bedrooms and ancillary spaces are along the north-east edge over the three levels.

Taigh Sonas has high standards of insulation, minimises air infiltration heating, and uses an air source heat pump with a ‘whole house heat recovery ventilation system.’

Three Glens Residential Moniaive Three Glens is a five-bedroom guesthouse situated on a working farm near the village of Moniaive, South West Scotland.

The architect’s vision was one of an organic building that blended seamlessly into the landscape. The copse of trees and outcrop of rocks were a natural frame for the building, with the existing external dry stonewalls connecting the house to the wider landscape and rooting it to the site.

A wind turbine generates enough electricity for 25 homes and the excess electricity is exported to the National Grid. Two boreholes provide ground source heat to the lower level and a third supplies water that is UV filtered for drinking and other household uses. A wood burning kachelofen masonry heater supplies ambient heat to the living room, snug room and study, while generous levels of insulation and triple glazing minimise the heating requirement.

The design incorporates as many local materials as possible, many of them found directly on the farm. These include oak for the exterior cladding, stone from neighbouring fields for the walls, turf for the roof, also taken straight from a neighbouring field, and the farm’s own treated sheep’s wool for insulation.

Reclaimed artefacts, artwork by local artists, and recycled materials from the site and farther afield are displayed around the house.

House at Camusdarrach Sands Residential Invernesshire RAW has completed a new build house on steeply sloping former rough grazing land at Camusdarach Sands. The clients, a young couple already living and working in this isolated location, were keen that we develop the proposals to capture the spectacular sun rise views over the mountains and sun set behind the islands.

Construction is low tech consisting of an exposed concrete base sitting beneath a more expressive timber frame superstructure. There is a clear distinction in internal arrangement of space and function across three levels denoted by changes in light levels, scale of spaces, floor to ceiling heights and materials.

Entrance is at the lower level into a darker, utilitarian concrete bunker.

As you progress up through the building, via the birch ply staircase, spaces enlarge, daylight levels and ceiling heights soar, and materials are characterised by a distinctivelighter finish.

The final external colour was much debated and was chosen to tune into the characteristics of the peat, gorse and stormy skies.

Perhaps in a few years we might try a deep red.

Rhue House Residential Ullapool This zinc clad house in the township of Rhue near Ullapool, sits on a wonderful site with south west views to Loch Broom and the Summer Isles.

The house design takes inspiration from the low pitch agricultural sheds that pepper the landscape to achieve a low profile from the main road - a key planning requirement.

A split level arrangement creates an "upside down" two storey house with the main living spaces located on the upper level.

The plan of the house is a parallelogram, which arrived quite naturally during the design process. This shape allowed multiple spaces to get a view of the sea, and also allows the first floor terrace to be sheltered by the overhanging cantilevered roof. It also creates an interesting "prow" shape directed towards the lighthouse, the summer isles and the sunsets beyond. We liked to call that the" Titanic moment."

This low energy house incorporates high specification windows, insulation and a whole house ventilation system. Heat is provided by a wood burning stove and solar panels.

Pentland Avenue Residential Edinburgh Set into the steep hillside above the Water of Leith we have built a new three storey, five bedroom house that, from the street, is all but invisible. Passing through a gate in a traditional stone boundary wall you enter a courtyard, then through a door to unexpectedly find yourself at the top of a three storey light-well with expansive views over Colinton Dell and the Pentland Hills.

A central stair zig-zags between landings, connecting the top floor entrance, living spaces in the middle and lower bedrooms.

Cutbacks, terraces and rooflights create a variety of bright internal spaces whilst minimising overlooking to and from the taller, neighbouring houses. The stepped, terraced form also allows the interior to have level access to the external spaces on each floor, following the reconfigured topography of the site.

Residential Merchiston, Edinburgh When this house in Merchiston, Edinburgh, was up for sale, the clients approached Roxburgh McEwan Architects, prior to making an offer, to discuss whether or not the living, family and entertaining areas could be transformed from a series of warren like dark rooms into better co-ordinated and light filled spaces.

The clients also required imaginative storage for their wine collection. We were confident that the house had potential and after a successful purchase, proposed a design which opened up the rear of the house to the leafy garden with a frameless glass dining extension adjacent to a new enlarged kitchen. The walls to the old basement stair were removed to provide a direct link with the existing basement stores which in turn were removed and refurbished to provide a wine cellar and tasting room.

A dumb waiter connects the kitchen and tasting room. General circulation, boot room and utility spaces were also reconfigured.

The end result is a modernised family house designed for versatile family living and easy entertaining. Key to the success of the project was working with specialist joinery manufacturers Laurence McIntosh and lighting consultants Light Medium.

Great Junction Street Residential Edinburgh The concept took cognisance of the 'statement of urban design principles' produced by the council in 2003. The new design challenged the brief and proposed a new five storey building in line with adjacent buildings on the street. The upper floor is set back to reflect the roofscape of Great Junction Street.

The proposal aimed to draw from the principles of tenement design along the street by respecting the verticality of the adjacent buildings. The design also respects the vertical window pattern of the tenements and is constructed of high quality materials such as natural stone and zinc.

Regent Street Dormer Residential Edinburgh The project was to extend a small first floor flat into the loft and create a new bedroom with dormer. A simple brief complicated only by the lack of headroom in the loft.

This street has the densest concentration of listed buildings in Portobello (54 in 120m).

The planners were resistant to the idea of a dormer in this location at all but following long negotiations a rear dormer was conceded.

We then made a case for a low profile, long dormer, more than twice as long as is normally permitted, because this had less visual impact than a dormer located near the eaves.

Redevelopment of St Martin's Church Residential Magdalene Drive Edinburgh The project involved the demolition of the existing 1950's St Martin's Church and the creation of a new, smaller bespoke hall that better suited the congregations needs. Remaining land was developed to create 11 terraced two and three bedroom houses and 12 one and two bedroom apartments for Port of Leith Housing Association.

The flats and houses are highly insulated, exceeding the current statutory minimum levels and achieve very high levels of air tightness. The timber windows are triple glazed to reduce heat loss and energy. High efficiency condensing gas boilers have been installed in all flats and houses. Photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Church generate electricity from the sun to power lighting and heat in the building.

The development is unified through the use of a limited palette of materials. A multi-hued brick gives the whole development a more intimate scale with the colour variation giving richness to the otherwise simple forms.

Mugdock House Care Home Health Bearsden, Glasgow The main focus of the brief was to create forward looking, modern and relaxed residential accommodation for elderly people, some with dementia, who wish to live within a facility capable of providing 24 hour live-in care within an attractive, safe and secure environment.

The ÂŁ4.3m facility comprises 64 en-suite bedrooms complemented by activity, lounge and dining spaces, a hairdressing salon, reminiscence area, assisted bathroom and shower facilities, kitchen, laundry and staff facilities.

The plan and elevational treatment is a study in proportion and scale which has informed the materials chosen, a subtle blend of natural and neutral tones of light brick and white render.

The south facing courtyard elevations have vertical larch cladding which will weather to mirror the natural form of the mature trees.

This larch is separated by areas of glazing in a simple repetitive pattern with both enclosed within an aluminium clad canopy which holds the communal day spaces and provides solar shading and shelter for the residents. The simple L-shaped plan opens the building up to the south affording an open garden space towards the existing mature landscape.

The external space has been carefully considered for the enjoyment of the residents.

Paths which loop around sensory gardens with a series of signal markers enable residents to maintain way finding through recognition.

The Vale Centre for Health and Care Health Main Street, Alexandria The Vale Centre for Health and Care is a striking building nestled in the grounds of the Vale of Leven Hospital, Alexandria. It provides a broad range of services to the local and wider community including GP practices, dental surgeries and community clinics.

The initial approach was to break through the existing tree belt to the east of the site and open it up to the main road from Alexandria.

The creation of a route through the site was critical in establishing physical links with the local community.

The starting point for the building itself was a public entrance and reception hub surrounded by wings of accommodation together with a staff and education hub, seminar rooms and offices.

The building form was defined by conceptually lifting the ground and placing the accommodation underneath. The heart of the building is placed centrally as a gathering space between the accommodation wings all protected by an overarching roof. The roof forms a gently curved elevated ground plane which rises across the site and captures the accommodation below.

This soft form and abrupt cliff edges relate to the distant hills and rocky outcrops of the surrounding River Leven and countryside around Dumbarton.

The new building integrates contemporary facilities for a number of medical practices together with dentistry and social services and is the first phase of the Saracen Exchange master plan.

To respond to its context the building maintains the local scale and forms part of the existing street line. The elevation treatment had two specific characteristics to engage with. The building had to maintain the solid integrity of the brick and stone buildings along Saracen Street and it also had to engage with the user by developing a warm, open and welcoming entrance off the street.

The Urban Glass cladding and blue brick accentuates the solid characteristics of Saracen Street while the curtain walling highlights the internal atrium and public space within the building.

The ruby red glazing panels break down the extent of the glazing on this elevation but also generate elements of privacy for the users along the street elevation.

Maggie's Cancer Care Centre Health Forester Hill Hospital, Aberdeen Designed by Norwegian architectural practice Snohetta, in partnership with Halliday Fraser Munro, the scheme is conceived as a pavilion in a parkland setting.

Located on the southern boundary of Forester Hill Hospital Maggie’s Cancer Care Centre is a free-standin. Nestling in the row of trees marking the course of the Westburn, the Maggie's Centre enjoys views across the field and ample sunlight from the south and west.

The soft exterior form envelops the whole of the centre and defines the courtyard garden. The interior of the building is harder and more angular in form but constructed from soft timber materials. The exterior shell creates the framework for the centre and sculpts the main spaces, whilst the timber interior buildings create the more intimate rooms and spaces that the centre requires..

The texture and cutting pattern of the grass covered field is developed to form a large-scale pattern within which the pavilion building forms an integral part. The existing tree line along the Westburn is retained and strengthened by new planting of Maple trees.

George Square Education Edinburgh The Edinburgh University building at 50 George Square was designed by Robert Matthew, Johnston-Marshall and Partners, and completed in 1970. It is B listed and forms part of an A listed grouping, which also includes the David Hume Tower. (DHT) Not withstanding the historical importance of 50 George Square in the overall DHT setting, the same could not be said of its interior environment. New works improved the quality of circulation and at the same time exploited the aspect of the office rooms around the edge, which remain the buildings best aspect.

The design intention was to introduce timber linings within the building to create a library type environment, (appropriate for the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures) and to use top light to reflect off the timber to create a soft light for the interior spaces.

A new main stair and atrium space with rooflights over has been inserted opening up and naturally lighting the heart of the building plan.

A clear circulation and central spine philosophy is used again to bring light into the centre of the building allowing user orientation.

The development has been designed to have a low energy and CO2 emissions impact.

It is being assessed to the BREEAM 2008 Education standard and has a target rating of Excellent.

Pupils have their own dedicated entrances, whilst the formal front door of the building for visitors is located in the centre of the plan, between its two welcoming wings.

Dominated by the social/dining area which forms a “village green” to this educational village concept, the egalitarian symmetry of the front of the plan slowly gives way to a more relaxed arrangement driven by context and function. All routes start and begin in the social/dining space, bringing enhanced legibility to what is a very large building.

The new facility has been jointly funded by Moray College UHI, HIE, NHS Grampian and EU, and provides a principle research, education and continuing professional development (CPD) facility for the life science sector.

There are essentially two aspects to the design of the project: the first is the Life Science Centre located on the selected site to the northwest of the campus containing a new conference facility, research rooms, mock wards and associated classrooms; and the second is a major new circulation space that provides a new main entrance to the Moray college facility linking the “B” Listed Academy Building and the new LSC with all other parts of the college.

Demolition of existing outdated accommodation makes way for the new extension, realigning and transforming the public frontage of the college, creating a new Life Sciences Garden and an identifiable new entrance.

A new connection to the Grade “B” Listed Victorian Art Block is made via a double height glazed gallery link, previously isolated from the main accommodation.

The design of the LSC was greatly influenced by its relationship to the existing academy building and the residential scale of nearby buildings.

The Reid Building Education Hill Street, Glasgow Mackintosh’s amazing manipulation of the building section for light in inventive ways has inspired our approach towards a plan of volumes in different light. The studio/workshop is the basic building block of the building.

Spaces have been located not only to reflect their interdependent relationships but also their varying needs for natural light.

Studios are positioned on the north façade with inclined glazing to maximize the diffuse light. Spaces that do not have a requirement for the same quality of natural light, such as the refectory and offices, are located on the south façade where access to sunlight can be balanced with thermal performance through shading.

The “Driven Void” light shafts deliver natural light through the depth of the building providing direct connectivity with the outside world through the changing intensity and colour of the sky. In addition, they provide vertical circulation through the building, eliminating the need for air conditioning.

Along the south elevation, at the same height as the Mackintosh main studios, a landscape loggia in the form of a Machair gives the school an exterior social core open to the city.

A “Circuit of Connection” throughout the new GSA encourages the ‘creative abrasion’ across and between departments that is central to the workings of the school. The open circuit of stepped ramps links all major spaces – lobby, exhibition space, project spaces, lecture theatre, seminar rooms, studios, workshops and green terraces for informal gatherings and exhibitions.

The Bridge Commercial Buchanan Gate Business Park, Stepps The primary elevation is defined by a sense of arrival and its relationship to a formal landscaped car park with the larger moorland site beyond. This is an expansive space and the building has an enhanced scale as it faces directly onto the landscape axis. This was achieved by enclosing external plant spaces in the same noble materials as the main elevations.

Remaining elevations, with less public facades, are a storey lower, responding to their more private context.

The primary massing is elaborated with a rigorous grid expression of vertical brick pilasters and horizontal string courses of cast Portland stone. The grain of this grid is then adjusted to suit the context. The palette of materials express civic importance and achieve durability.

Each brick pilaster is abutted internally by a desk, allowing full height glazing between, providing excellent daylight to occupants.

Advocate's Close Commercial Old Town, Edinburgh Situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, this historic site encompasses 9 listed buildings over 11 storeys, bridging three closes between the High St, Cockburn St and Market St. The proposals form a vibrant new quarter in the Old Town that combines the rehabilitation of historic buildings and public realm with alterations and interventions which participate in the continuing organic architectural evolution of the Old Town.

The mixed use scheme provides a new 208 room hotel – the UK’s first Motel One, 37 serviced apartments on the upper levels with restaurants, offices, bars & cafes opening on to and enlivening the surrounding squares & closes. It also includes a new pedestrian thoroughfare linking Advocate’s Close with the News Steps.

Pedestrian routes through the site are rich in contrast between enclosed and open space, sequential experiences of view and vista as well as building form and detail which combine to create strong impressions of transition and arrival at access and nodal points.

Roxburgh’s Court offers a focal point at the interior of the block: a stopping point and amenity space in contrast with the linear quality of the closes. Remodelling of the facades to enliven and condition the space and the creation of a cafe-restaurant on the square’s northern edge have revitalised this key space.

Red Tree Business Centre Commercial Bridgeton Cross, Glasgow Red Tree Business Centre creates an innovative and vibrant office building for SME companies at the heart of Bridgeton Town Centre, an important gateway into the city of Glasgow. The once largely derelict property now provides 1,650 m2 office and retail space and is now 50 per cent let, and has brought 38 new jobs to the town centre.

The buildings form a significant street frontage to Dalmarnock Road to the south, and are visually prominent from both London Road and Bridgeton Railway Station to the north.

The upper stories of the existing buildings have been developed into high specification offices with significant structural alterations internally to provide attractive and legible internal circulation. The introduction of a linear, black form framing the shop units below creates a strong regulated facade back to Dalmarnock Road.

The differing floor levels of the two buildings and ceiling heights combined with varying depth of plan along the site was highly compatible with the brief to create a variety of office sizes that are proving to appeal to a wider range of tenants than a more regulated new build office might.

An upper quartile EPC was sought with the building achieving a B+ rating.

SoCo Commercial Cowgate, Edinburgh SoCo lies within the heart of the Edinburgh World Heritage Site and Old Town Conservation Area. but following a devastating fire in 2002 the site in this vital part of Edinburgh’s Old Town lay derelict for ten years The design approach is contextual, seeking neither a fashionable or iconic outcome but a building that has a truthful and timeless quality .

Interior spaces have an intimate, relaxed feel such as the bar area with its eclectic mix of lounge seating and intimate seating booths which give views out to the external public terrace areas.

Finishes are natural and relaxed – textured brick with distressed timber, concrete pendant lights with leather and wool uphostery in refined muted colours.

Externally Caithness stone provides a similar natural and enduring quality throughout the terrace areas and new external routes through the development.

St Andrews Links Trust Commercial St Andrews, Fife The brief from the client was to consolidate several scattered locations of storage and office accommodation into a single location.

This would not only successfully meet increasing commercial opportunities and operations, but also create a new welcome centre and professional face for the business ventures and strategies of St Andrews Links Trust.

The arched form is created by using natural timber glulam beams and a sedum ĂŹgreen roofĂŽ to continue the natural flow of the links environment. The form has a deliberate cut on the office side to allow natural light to penetrate the deep vaulted plan and also to create a terrace at first floor level overlooking the links. The open spans internally benefit the function of the warehouse in a double height volume. Internally a void space connects the two office spaces aiding natural lighting and ventilation.

The building utilises natural lighting wherever possible. Three linear roof lights not only provide natural light to the deep plan; they are combined with integral ventilation louvres, assisted natural ventilation fans and other roof penetrations to keep the roof simple and elegant.

Waitrose Commercial Helensburgh The new Waitrose store in Helensburgh comprises a 36,500ft2 supermarket and fuel station with 180 parking spaces. Alongside the new Hermitage Academy it forms a prominent gateway to the town’s eastern approach along Cardross Road.

The active frontage to Cardross Road comprises the main entrance, checkout zone and visitor cafe all gathered into a linear pavilion and framed with an inverted ‘gullwing’ timber clad roof providing a warmth of materials and welcoming, uplifting environment. The composition recognises contemporary northern European design principles, its maritime setting and the use of sustainable local materials.

Designed to BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standards, the store’s sustainable design maximises the use of natural daylight, energy efficient heating and cooling systems, LED lighting, utility submetering and many other carbon reduction initiatives.

The site layout afforded generous opportunity to maximise soft landscaping, particularly to the western boundary where a dense belt of trees and accessible pathways are situated. The existing trees have been reinforced with additional semi-mature willow trees, along with other species complimentary to Helensburgh’s coastal climate.

The Corn Mill Commercial Barrowford, Lancashire T-A-P have completed work at The Corn Mill; the conversion of a historic building into the new headquarters for a local company, Ai Process Systems.

Located on a steeply sloping site overlooking the village, the Corn Mill was in fact built as a church in the late 19th century and is a prominent building within the Barrowford Conservation Area. The building's handsome neoclassical exterior remained intact, however a series of earlier conversions had stripped the interiors of any original features.

It was determined that to maximise the usable floor area an existing mezzanine should be removed and two new upper level floors installed, to provide a series of open plan, cellular and meeting spaces, linked by new stairs and a lift. The existing door openings at both the street and lower ground floor had been crudely widened at some point in the past.

These were to be given new surrounds, clad in local sandstone, with simple detailing.

From the entrance at the lower ground level you arrive in a space which rises the full height of the building. The fine arched windows punctuate the thick walls of this triple-height void, with a new internal facade to the upper level floors, clad in timber.

The new Tesco superstore is now has recently opened its doors to the people of Linwood and Lindsay Manson, Managing Director of Manson Architects has said, “ We are confident the development, alongside Tweedie Hall and the new library, will bring new life to the area and be a real benefit to the community�.

Linwood was recipient of a 2011 Carbuncle Award for the dilapidated nature of its town centre, with residents unflatteringly comparing the rundown town centre to Iraq, It is hoped completion of the town centre will boost local spending.

Our client, an 18th century historian with a keen eye for conservation and a love for her late Georgian A-listed Town house, was faced with the crippling reality she would soon no longer be able to safely access her dwelling due to debilitating Multiple Sclerosis.

With the conservation of the existing fabric in mind, our brief was to create lift access to the ground floor dwelling, via the existing entrance platform. Unlike common disabled lift solutions, which are often temporary and unsightly, this project looks to conceal the lifts very existence.

Working with Sesame Access, a specialist stair lift company from the south coast, a vertical retracting lift solution was developed for this project. It works by lowering a section of the entrance platform level with the pavement, allowing a wheelchair user to easily board, and then rises up to meet floor level at the entrance door. Once the user has safely disembarked, the lift then returns to its original static position; a standard stone entrance platform with treads and risers.

The lift mechanism itself is located below the entrance platform, supported on new steels, concealed within the lifts casing. The key for this projects success was in retaining as much original material as possible, so the lift was sized appropriately to lie between the existing stone arches supporting the entrance platform. Above ground, new stone to match the existing has been laid to accommodate the lift shaft. From street level, all that is visible are tight grooves which run the perimeter of the lift shaft.

Leith Hall Historic Kennethmont by Huntly, Aberdeenshire

Kerry Smith Architects were delighted to be involved in work to upgrade facilities at the A listed, Leith Hall, in an effort to conserve the property and facilitate its reopening to the public following its closure due to cuts in funding in 2008.

Built in 1650 by James Leith, Leith Hall was in use as a family home for over 300 years until World War 1 where it saw use as a military field hospital. Following this the hall, gardens, estate and collections fell under the auspices of the National Trust in 1945, offering a unique glimpse into a laird's house.

Last year Leith Hall underwent phase one of a planned series of upgrades to facilities including a tearoom, shop, library and catering kitchens. In order to expand the estate’s capabilities and enable the property to utilise its grand public rooms for use during functions. KSA worked on behalf of the National Trust for Scotland to conserve the historic fabric and sympathetically upgrade facilities to modern standards.

Through the enhancement work, the estate hopes to develop a sustainable income for the property ensuring it remains open for the publics’ enjoyment into the future.

Marchmont School Restoration Historic Marchmont Road, Edinburgh The B-listed Marchmont Road School Building was designed in Gothic Style by the Scottish architect Robert Wilson, for the Edinburgh School Board and was completed in 1882.

While little of historical interest remained within the interior, the exterior of the building has survived intact. Restoration works included re-roofing, stonework repairs, re-pointing, and replacement windows.

This project brief involved the creation of fifteen contemporary residential apartments while sympathetically restoring the external appearance of the building to its former splendor. The new apartments have been created from the original high ceiling classrooms and are designed in an open plan contemporary style.

The apartments vary in size with a mixture of one, two and three bedroom units and each apartment has a new mezzanine floor accessed by an open staircase. The edge of the mezzanine floor is set back from the external walls and windows, leaving a double height space to the Living area below The former school yard has been landscaped to form private off street parking.

Martyrs Kirk Research Library Historic St Andrews The acquisition of B-Listed Martyrs Kirk, completed by Gillespie and Scott in 1928, by St Andrews University and its conversion into a post-graduate reading room for the Faculty of Arts shows the adaptability of our historic fabric.

Crucial to the outcomes of a dynamic briefing process was the idea that in removing the pews we should not simply end up ‘reading’ in the empty volume of an old church. Rather we needed to reconfigure the space, by bringing down the scale of the volume and creating intimacy.

As a result it is the crafted bookcases and writing tables which re-define the interior space as a reading room, addressing the scale of the nave and creating a feeling of academia.

Paisley Town Hall Historic Paisley Austin-Smith:Lord were appointed to undertake improvements to the entrance foyer and approach into this A lsted venue.

The brief was to create a high class reception foyer and arrival space and to include a new front entrance ramp and stair arrangement that would respect DDA legislation and create a true sense of arrival.

The purpose of the project was also to respond to the general condition of the external fabric of the building. For a considerable number of years friable masonry balustrade components of the wall heads had been secured with scaffold poles and green netting.

Carefully selected Scotch Buff sandstone was used in the repair, following stone matching analysis. The stone repairs were seamlessly inserted into the original fabric using carefully specified lime mortars and lime putty pointing.

The areas of dark staining and water damage to masonry were DOFF cleaned, windows refurbished, stained glass repaired and a new external lighting scheme designed and concealed on the facades.

The Haining Historic Selkirkshire The Haining is an A Listed Palladian House (c1795-1820) on the edge of Selkirk in the Scottish Borders. The Haining Charitable Trust with assistance from SHBT have embarked on a long term project to revitalise the house, the grounds and out buildings after the estate was left to them by the former owner.

The first phase of this long term project was to convert the A listed former coach house and loose boxes in the stables courtyard (sitting slightly detached from the main house) to create flexible studio workshop spaces.

The traditionally constructed coach house and loose boxes form two sides of a stables courtyard and are expressed with a gentle classical leaning compatible with the main house. Both buildings were uninhabited, unheated and were essentially open to the elements.

Unused accommodation has been converted into six workspaces and ten impressive archways of the coach houses remain intact with the new slim line aluminium glazing passing behind the arches to avoid a conflict between existing stonework and new fabric.

The use of different colours for the ancillary areas behind the glazing gives the coach houses a fresh and distinct character.

The Inn at John O' Groats Historic John O' Groats, Caithness The Victorian baronial-style John O’ Groats Hotel, occupying a prominent position in this world famous location, had been left to rot for more than 15 years. The depressing scene had gradually drained the life out of the place.

The project was conceived and inspired by our client Natural Retreats, who four years ago envisioned what has taken material form today: the hotel has been dramatically restored, revitalised and re-launched as The Inn at John O’ Groats.

Although it would have been cheaper to demolish, the decision was taken to restore, remodel and add the colourful Nordic inspired timber clad extension.

Established in 1875 the hotels octagonal form is said to reference that of John O' Groat's House, which was said to have eight windows and doors to admit eight members of the family who would sit as equals around an octagonal table.

The Inn at John O’ Groats now offers 16 luxury holiday apartments in a range of sizes with dramatically framed views and stylish interiors designed in conjunction with interior designers NoChintz.

As well as The Inn, GLM have been responsible for the construction of 23 luxury holiday self-catering residences, a completely remodelled co-operative café selling local produce and dishes, and The Outfitters, an activity centre and retail space formed within in the famous “Last House”.

The proposals resulted in a general upgrade of the existing facilities in the stables and cafe blocks and an extension to the toilets in the cafe.

Famed for its collection of pre-Raphaelite paintings and central hall the house, home to generations of the unconventional Trevelyan family, is surrounded by an informal landscape of lawns, lakes, woodland, parkland and farmland.

One of the key client requests and design parameters was that the facilities were as energy efficient as possible. This informed the specification which included: LED light fittings on PIR sensors; water saving taps and waterless urinals.

Particular care was taken in: revealing the historic structure and features; blending to the existing fabric; and concealing exhaust points of the services installation.

Hamilton House Interiors Hamilton Drive, Glasgow The design team for the G1 Groups ‘Hamilton House’ transformed the former BBC Scotland headquarters from a dilapidated cellular office building to an open plan, inclusive and interactive environment.

Given the company facilities and holistic approach to design and construction G1's in house joinery workshop and tradesmen were able to work closely with the designers and produce prototype solutions for desks, storage, meeting tables and internal cladding.

As the building was part of a collection of listed buildings relatively strict Historic Scotland Guidelines had to be adhered to.

The existing Terrazzo tiled stair and lift core did not meet current regulations, however by retaining this circulation core, to the rear of the office, there was an opportunity to create a new bespoke engineered steel feature stair from the reception area leading to the office floor plates.

Greater interaction between departments was created by centrally positioning the social and meeting spaces within the open plan floor plate. By using natural and quality materials the office has a warm and tactile feeling to it which has allowed the staff ownership of the design.

BrewDog Interiors Sao Paulo The client wanted to transform this former car repair workshop into the first BrewDog outlet in South America. The bar uses some of the brand style developed by CM Design Consultants for it’s UK bars, but adding new design surprises such as the blue neon, “LOVE HOPS – LIVE THE DREAM”, and sourcing where possible local materials and suppliers.

As consistent with BrewDog brand philosophy, the building was paired back and the superb architectural factory and industrial elements were all retained. These included concrete columns, steel profiled roof and the concrete floor complete with the original yellow painted parking spaces. A row of windows at high level was introduced to provide more natural daylight. Some items such as the original 1950’s tyre compressor was retained in its original concrete column position.

Finishes include polished concrete bar top, reclaimed timber, and reclaimed brick.

This is a project that that feels genuinely authentic. It's almost anti-design in that it’s not slick but urban and distressed. Influenced by the rough-and-ready sensibility of pop-ups.

Clydesdale Bank Head Office Interiors 40 St Vincent Place, Glasgow Graven was appointed by Clydesdale Bank to re-design the existing Grade B listed banking hall adjoining their head office. A key part of this design was to integrate the business banking suite within the new layout which had previously been located in a separate building.

Graven’s approach was to create modern interventions that connected the disjointed spaces of the historic building into a cohesive, transparent and accessible retail and work environment. The new business bank suite is now connected to the ground floor banking hall via a new feature stair for customers and staff. Space was maximised by creating cross-over spaces for use by both customers and staff.

Marie-Louise Dunk, chartered architect and director at JAMstudio said, “Whilst our team has enjoyed the practice’s rural setting, as time has progressed we have outgrown it both in terms of practical space, and in terms of visibility to our target market. Having celebrated our tenth birthday last year, and with our continued growth and development, 2014 presented itself as the perfect opportunity to make a strategic move to the city.

“The rural setting was a big part of JAMstudio’s history, but we didn’t want to be defined by our location."
