Just shy of 100 buildings are crammed within the 2016 edition of Urban Realm’s Architecture Scotland Annual, the only publication which puts Scotland’s best buildings into print year after year. Our tenth anniversary edition coincides with a disruptive year which began with the shock death of Gareth Hoskins and ended with the fallout of Brexit but despite the best efforts of a turbulent world good work continues to be delivered, not least in Hoskins Architects own Eastwood Health & Care Centre (pg 71), a tour-de-force in understated brick. Indeed the NHS provides some of this year’s stand-out buildings; notably Reiach & Hall’s hat trick of health centres in Kilsyth (pg 72), East Kilbride (pg 66) and Wishaw (pg 70) which extend the trend for gathering patient services under one roof. It also brings out the best in Keppie who grace these pages with a homely Ronald McDonald House (pg 64), offering comfort to families visiting the nearby Royal Hospital for Children. It may have narrowly missed out on the RIBA Stirling Prize to Caruso St John’s Newport Street Gallery but the City of Glasgow College Riverside Campus (pg 83) by Michael Laird Architects and Reiach & Hall makes for an alluring civic setpiece on a revitalised waterfront. If the health of society
can indeed be judged by the quality of its education provision then things are looking very promising indeed. It makes a stunning showcase. Education has certainly been a reliable gauge of quality in the past and so it proves again with JM leading the charge at Brimmond (pg 86) and James Gillespie’s School (pg 79) whilst ever reliable Page/Park come up with the goods at Dollar Academy’s new Sixth Form Centre (pg 80). More prosaically it was also a year marked by the return of large scale commercial buildings - typified by the likes of Ryder’s 1 West Regent Street (pg 89) and Cooper Cromar’s 110 Queen Street (pg 92). They prove that floorplate demands and economics needn’t come at the expense of making a set piece statement. Of course there is far going on out there than can possibly be confined to a mere 130 pages and so I implore you to get online if you haven’t already done so and consult the full list of new buildings on the Urban Realm website. It’s an ever expanding list and contains more than a few surprises. If 2016 began in sadness then it certainly concludes with the thrill of a stellar year in architecture and an expectation of more to come. John Glenday Editor, Urban Realm

Forsinard Lookout Tower Public Dubh Lochan The Forsinard Lookout Tower was commissioned to provide visitors to Sutherland elevated views across the Dubh Lochan peat bogs pools and the Flows landscape beyond, and to assist with introducing the concepts of conserving peatland habitats to mitigate climate change. The structure also provides a destination for star gazing given its location within an area of Dark Skies. As a single organic form clad in locally≠sourced timber, the design concept is simple in providing a blank elevation to the public road and opening up to provide views to the west.

Colquhoun Square Public Helensburgh The design of Colquhoun Square celebrates and reinforces the grid pattern on which the rest of the town was developed. The walkways, soft landscaped areas, tree lines and lighting columns are set out on a simple yet rigorous grid, which enhances and frames the several high quality, listed buildings within the square. The creation of an events arena and café quarter within Colquhoun Square, and improved pedestrian links to the esplanade, were enabled by re-planning the traffic management within the town centre. The design ethos was to create a town centre with attractive, usable and flexible public space thereby supporting community events, festivals and markets.. The development of the ‘Outdoor Museum’ in Colquhoun Square has also provided a location and focus to display the rich and varied history of Helensburgh for local residents and visitors, both now and in the future. The community had hoped for a new museum. However as this was not within the budget, we transformed the bollards within the square, used to control traffic movement, into museum plinths thus creating an outdoor museum.

Stranraer Gateway Public Balyett layby, A77 Completed in June 2015, at a cost of ÂŁ55,k, the refurbished cafĂŠ and new pavilion sits comfortably and in scale with its natural setting on the shore of Loch Ryan, located on the existing coastal path and cycle route. It provides respite for walkers and cyclists along this route and for drivers using the lay-by in a scenic and strategic location for the observation of wading birds and distant ferries. A simple palette of materials have been applied taking cognisance of the local surroundings. The main construction material, larch, was chosen as a Scottish sourced material being durable, natural and cost effective whilst weathering from brown to a less obtrusive grey. The building lifecycle was an important consideration requiring minimal maintenance throughout the life of the structures within an exposed locale. Importantly, it retains and improves a wellused eating facility and breathes new life into the location in a dramatic yet subtle transformation for minimal cost.

Atlantic Islands Centre Public Cullipool, Isle of Luing The Isle of Luing is one of the Scottish slate islands that lie scattered in the Firth of Lorne a few miles south of Oban. Largely unknown, the beautiful and unspoilt island was visited by relatively few people, but that has changed with the opening of the new Atlantic Islands Centre in the village of Cullipool. A £1.25 million initiative by the Isle of Luing Community Trust focuses on the rich diversity of people, wildlife, landscapes and heritage of Luing and the surrounding Atlantic Islands of Argyll and provides an exciting new visitor destination for the many tourists that flock to this part of Scotland’s stunning west coast. Dramatically perched on the edge of one of the flooded quarries on the site of the former Engine House in the Conservation village of Cullipool, the new building reflects the scale and character of the original quarry building and the nearby houses. The Atlantic Islands Centre utilises a similar palette of traditional materials to create a simple composition that sits comfortably within the village context and blends easily with the vernacular architecture. A large expanse of glass to the south west corner creates a bright and open interior and allows visitors to take advantage of the spectacular views while enjoying locally produced food in the café. Changing exhibitions and a programme of art and cultural events occupy the flexible space which also hosts concerts, theatre, social events and conferences. The original lens from the Stevenson lighthouse on Fladda is also featured.

Theatre Royal Public Shakespeare Street, Dumfries The Theatre Royal in Dumfries is the oldest working theatre in Scotland. Built in 1792 the theatre occupies a corner site in the town centre and is home to the Guild of Players, an amateur theatre group. The facilities in the theatre were in need of major upgrade with the building fabric and its technical installations deteriorating. With funding principally from the Holywood Trust, HLF and Dumfries and Galloway Council the theatre purchased the adjoining properties allowing a new range of spaces to be developed. The design rationalised circulation and created a new three storey foyer giving access to the theatre, a new studio rehearsal space, workshops, costume stores and environmentally controlled costume stores. This now allows the Guild and a wide range of visiting performers to provide a greatly enhanced arts offering to South West of Scotland.

Portsoy Boatbuilding Centre Public Portsoy, Aberdeenshire Built upon the ruins of a derelict building in Portsoy harbour, the new boatbuilding centre employs a minimal materials palette which sites within the reconstructed external stone skin. A primary Glulam structure creates a large industrial like space, which is lined in timber, creating a warm interior which contrasts with elements of exposed stonework. The building is used for the construction of timber boats, as well as for the teaching of the traditional skills involved to children and adults alike. The Scottish Traditional Boat Festival was not only the client, but it’s volunteers also in part constructed and completed the project, allowing them to help shape the space which they now inhabit. This project was partly funded by Aberdeenshire Council, CARS (a collaboration between Aberdeenshire Council and Historic Scotland), and the Aberdeenshire European Fisheries Fund.

St Enoch Subway Refurbishment Public Glasgow The materials for the canopy pop-ups are small panels of glass to form a smooth external skin with a filigree structure beneath with a durable base of stainless steel panels at the junction with the pavement. The popups make best use of new technologies and design solutions while acknowledging the individual station’s contribution to the urban landscape. To complement this, a large format offwhite porcelain tile is used around the new entrance internally and below ground walls. The choice of material offers a robust and practical solution to a highly trafficked location. The doors are seen as an important element in the façade composition. When the station is closed the doors form part of the image of the station, providing a positive contribution to the elevation after lock down. The doors when open, will aid user flow through the pop-ups. The principles behind the lighting design promote the enhancement of the architectural design and materials. The integration of the lighting within the fabric of the building is key to the success of an unobtrusive proposal.

Pyramid Viewpoint Public Arrochar, Dunbartonshire The viewpoint takes the shape of a triangular platform and is positioned at the end of a long curved path stretching form the car park to the highest point of the peninsula. It is first seen as a narrow vertical stack amongst the tree trunkssurrounding the path. Only a glimpse towards the loch is visible through a long tunnel, that marks the entrance situation of the viewpoint. The single storey tunnel that is as narrow as the path, leads from one vertex of the triangle to its base with views over the loch disguising the scale of the project. Only after having passed through this entrance and then looking back into the triangle, the viewpoint manifests itself as a steep rising platform that is accessed by steps going up and around the perimeter of the form. Benches, interspersed between the steps, create the central core. As the structure rises the more exposed the benches become mimicking the seating arrangements of an arena. The Pyramid Viewpoint was built as part of the Scenic Routes Initiative.

Glasgow Women's Library Public Bridgeton, Glasgow Collective Architecture won a limited competition to redevelop a Category B' listed library in Bridgeton, Glasgow for The Glasgow Women’s Library. The library, built on 1903, is one of seven “Carnegie” libraries donated to the city. A local landmark, the building is grand in appearance with feature bays, intricate ornamentation and beautifully carved statues. Collective Architecture worked closely with the Glasgow Women's Library to develop informal reading spaces and an open plan mezzanine area, with new lift access, within the former Main Reading Room. The Reading Room is located above a new ground floor cafe and kitchen and a space for exhibitions. A major requirement was for a new strong room archive, designed over two levels at the rear of the gallery. This houses the permanent collections, as well as special pieces of display which required to be climatically controlled to ensure their survival.

Sumburgh Head Public Shetland Designed by Robert Stevenson in 1819, Sumburgh Head Lighthouse, along with its associated keeper’s houses, is the oldest Stevenson Lighthouse in Shetland. With the support of the local community and statutory bodies, Shetland Amenity Trust acquired the site in 2003 and aspired to develop it as a visitor attraction. The conservation and repair of Sumburgh Head encompassed all of the existing buildings on the site, with the addition of a modern extension: the curved glass fronted concrete education room perched on the edge of the site, taking advantage of the breathtaking views. The repaired foghorn is believed to be the last working in Scotland. The former keeper’s house has been fully repaired and upgraded to form offices for the RSPB, while the historic radar hut has been refurbished with interpretive displays to replicate how the working radar hut would have looked during the war.

Laggan Locks Public North Laggan, The project at Laggan Locks is a collaborative work by Sean Douglas & Gavin Murray (D&M) and Oliver Chapman Architects (OCA). It forms the second phase of Scotland’s Scenic Routes initiative. The site at Laggan was identified as a potential visitor hub and the brief for facilities to complement the pods presented under the Scenic Routes open competition, which was won by D&M in 2014 The structure provides a seasonal café/ kiosk that could be securely shut down during the winter months while still providing a sheltered viewpoint down the Great Glen. Toilet and shower facilities are available for visitors and campers using the new camping pods. The proposal creates a simple sheltered space that can be used all year round. The key elements of the programme, café/kiosk and toilet/shower facilities are separated but unified by one roof to create a covered platform within the structure. In high season the Café will open up to the sheltered space. The use of monochrome materials echoes traditional canal infrastructure and architecture. Charred larch cladding provides a robust envelope to the external environment while bright white timber boarding encourages visitors through the structure to the viewpoint. The design of the camping pods share silhouette-like forms with the café, eroded and sculpted from cubic volumes and clad in the same charred timber to create an architectural family on the canal side.

Forgewood Community Centre Public Motherwell The project saw the demolition of the previous Forgewood Community Centre and construction of a replacement community hub facility on the site. The existing centre had fallen into disrepair and was no longer viable practically, environmentally or economically. The new centre brings together several community resources within a single location in an inclusive and sustainable modern building. A multi-use main hall and areas for local youth groups, adult learning, IT and a small community cafĂŠ forms the ground floor, with the design focused on the flexibility and integration of the spaces. Forgewood Housing Co-operative becomes the anchor tenant on the first floor of the building which also houses shared meeting rooms and office space for use within the community. The new centre will provide a much needed community asset for Forgewood which will be able to be fully utilised and enjoyed by all in the local area. The centre, part funded by Forgewood Housing Co-operative, the Big Lottery Fund, the Scottish Government and North Lanarkshire Council, was unveiled by Princess Anne on 8 July 2016

Community Safety Hub Public Mill Street, Paisley One of the most distinctive parts of the ambitious Brutalist Paisley Civic Centre, completed to an award winning design by HLM in 1958 is its former District Court. This discrete building is a carefully composed study in concrete with a distinctive pyramidal roof and elevations combining curtain walling, external vertical structure and cantilevered overhangs. Community Safety Hubs aim to bring police, social services and community support officers together to share information and provide cross disciplinary support; improving the service provision of each organisation. The Hub provides a dedicated 24 hour a day facility. It is also supported by the local CCTV service, located within the building. In contrast to the treatment of the remainder of the Civic Centre which was overclad with lightweight panels we wanted to retain the raw purity of the concrete while lightening the building’s appearance and changing public perception. Our strategy was therefore to clean the concrete with a steam system and treat it with a water repelling cream to help retain the lighter colour. Concrete repairs have been undertaken and left exposed, again to retain the character of the material. Where damaged lead panels, grey aluminium windows and felt roofs were removed these have all been replaced with a burnished gold cladding and anodised gold aluminium windows. Due to the contrast in colour with the existing building’s materials it was important that the finishes were not painted or coated but that they had a variation akin to the concrete.

Belleisle Golf Club Public Belleisle Park, Ayr The clubhouse building is treated as a pavilion with three hipped slate roofs as the defining form. This strategy creates a building which is complementary in form to the existing stables building with its hipped linear roofs but which is still identifiably modern. The treatment as three elements gives the building a smaller scale than one large roofed structure would provide allowing the stables building to remain dominant. The three elements of the clubhouse have a staggered configuration which allows the formation of a new entrance courtyard. The clubhouse is built with materials which are complementary to the existing stables building. The roof is clad in natural slate which also provides the cladding material for the rear elevations of the clubhouse. This is intended to ensure a more recessive neutral tone for the clubhouse when viewed from the course. The principal east elevation is clad in oak boarding. This allows a softer colour similar in tone to the sandstone walls of the stables when viewed along the main approach. The timber will weather gradually to a neutral yellow grey tone.

Pentland Outdoor Centre Public Edinburgh The mixed use building combines retail sales with ‘front of house’ facilities for the Pentland Rangers and three staff residences. Ski rental / repair workshop and cafe areas are incorporated into the building, providing a social focal point overlooking the fantastic views to the Pentland Hills. The local sourcing of the Scotlarch cladding combined with the materials inherent durability made it a perfect choice for the external cladding. The knotty appearance and subtle colour variation has a distinctive aesthetic which gives the building a strong visual connection with its context. Due to constraints it was decided to treat the timber to achieve an even finish and to ensure that the cladding ages gracefully.

National Waterski Centre Public Dunfermline Taylor Architecture Practice, T.A.P., have completed an extension and refurbishment of the National Waterski Centre, for Waterski and Wakeboard Scotland at Townhill Loch, near Dunfermline. Sitting on the edge of the man-made loch in Townhill Country Park, on the northern edge of Dunfermline, the existing building was completed in 2001, constructed as a base for Waterski & Wakeboard Scotland and to provide facilities for visitors to the park. The new extension uses a triangulated, pitched roof that allows it to connect to the horizontal eaves of the existing building and also to rise up to a peak on the waterfront. The internal linings follow this roof shape and a triangular rooflight reinforces the geometrical theme and also brings some direct sunlight into the north facing extension. Siberian larch rainscreen cladding is stained black to match that on the existing building. Roofing is in a dark grey zinc. Very careful detailing of the external envelope and secondary structural supports was required to achieve the consistent, clean lines.

Walled Garden House Residential Pitrichie, Aberdeenshire The walled garden house is part of a masterplan produced for nine buildings in Pittrichie Aberdeenshire, including several listed buildings. The walled garden plot is enclosed on all four sides by a tall stone wall and sheltered by mature planting creating a secluded, hidden space. Planning negotiations resulted in the stipulation that the single storey modern building would be hidden from outside the walled garden. The design is a single storey building in a cruciform plan shape creating 4 wings of accommodation: garage, bedroom, living and guest. The large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge at the centre joins all of the wings and functions as the heart of the home. The low rise roof is finished in a grass sedum so as to be almost hidden from outside of the walled garden and help the building to disappear into the site, whilst Solar photovoltaic panels on the roof provide much of the house’s electricity needs. Large folding glass doors in living and bedrooms areas open onto expansive interlinked south facing decking, enclosed via a lightweight timber brise soleil. Externally the house is clad in natural stone from a local quarry and a cream render to sit well within the landscaped grounds. The result is a modern sleek house with high quality finishes.

It's Bigger on the Inside Residential
East Claremont, Edinburgh This 6.8m2 ‘glass box’ extension and remodelling of the ground floor rear rooms allows the new kitchen and dining spaces of this Category B listed early Victorian townhouse to spill out into its small, enclosed garden. The remodelling of the rear rooms and modest extension is part of an overall refurbishment of the whole house: updating the fabric to reflect modern energy conservation standards and servicing, repairing and renewing the external fabric and restoring historic plasterwork and joinery. Our aim was to develop a minimal, highly glazed and scrupulously detailed addition that very lightly brushes against the historic fabric of the house. Despite being small, the effect that the extension has on forming the living spaces, both internal and external, is large. In developing the original 2 storey service outshot, we re-introduced, in contemporary form, the ‘back’ stairs that would have linked the staff areas with the upper floors of the house. The new cantilevered stair, below a frameless 2.7 x 1.5m triple glazed rooflight, links the kitchen to the master bedroom via a glass bridge which also gives access to a small terrace where the final rays of evening sunshine can be enjoyed when the garden falls into shadow. The entirely frameless glazing is only interrupted by a near coplanar band of stainless steel at the ceiling zone and a sophisticated, Swiss made, 3m tall by 1.8m wide triple glazed sliding leaf weighing a third of a tonne, to give access to the garden. The whole structure is supported on a single, slender, stainless steel circular column in-bound of the glass.

The Rings Residential Cupar, Fife Located in the green belt, on a steep rolling hill, the building is integrated into the landscape by creating two folding grass roofs: in plan the wedge-like form (narrowing the north side) minimises the impact from the village road, and allows more accommodation on the south facing side with views across the countryside. Using a compact single storey form, the building becomes completely accessible, and also keeps the ridge line lower, allowing an unbroken view of the horizon from the road, which was a key planning concern. The aim of The Rings is to provide a much needed high quality wheelchair accessible places to stay in a restful setting. At the same time as designing this building to be a slight and open as possible, supporting wellbeing and rest, and connecting between inside and outside, in this rural setting, the landscape becomes the inspiration for the forms of the building. Building with timber and sedum roofs is both a sustainable choice and an aesthetic which compliments the landscape. The flexible design allows families of between two and 15 people to stay: to celebrate a special family occasion, or just to have some relaxing time away from everything.

Tigh-na-Croit Residential Gorstan, Highlands Set in the hamlet of Gorstan in the Scottish Highlands, Tigh-na-Croit nestles quietly into an area of former crofting land. A fully certified PassivHaus, the dwelling creates high quality contemporary, low energy, environmentally responsible house which takes Highland and rural design as inspiration whilst achieving the European PassivHaus standard to radically drive down energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Built from off-site prefabricated timber panels and clad in traditional white render, stained timber and a slate roof. High performance windows are carefully positioned to frame views taking advantage of the many wonderful views from the site and are often oversized to allow key spaces to connect visually to the varied landscape. High levels of thermal insulation achieve typical u-values of around 0.1W/m≤K, high levels of airtightness and minimal thermal bridging. This coupled with a highly efficient mechanical vent heat recovery system and an air-source heat pump ensure the house requires up to 80 per cent less energy than a typical house, cutting energy bills and the buildings carbon footprint in the process.

Tinhouse Residential Isle of Skye Designed and self built by the practice founders Alan Dickson and Gill Smith, the Tinhouse has been used as a test bed for all aspects of the practices work, including furniture making and the use of social media during the build. Located on the northwestern tip of the Isle of Skye, on a steeply sloping site overlooking The Minch, the body of water separating the Inner and Outer Hebrides. The house is now being let-out as a holiday house, which will help smooth out the financial ups and down of running an architectural practice in one of the most remote parts of Scotland. Alan describes the project as an expression of their interest in “minimumism, rather than minimalism�. We consider it to be an essay in landscape, economy, construction and imagination which shares the same design ethic as its neighbouring sister the Wooden House. Where, however, the Wooden House celebrates timber detailing the Tinhouse celebrates corrugated metal sheeting, commonly used on the agricultural buildings of the rural landscape. It does so in a thoroughly contemporary way by using mill finished corrugated aluminium as the external cladding for both roof and walls. Internally its timber boarding, concrete floor and plywood cabinetry add to the handmade palette giving the house a character that is simultaneously modern and rustic. The simple form recalls both the archetypal child’s image of a house and the rural sheds that sit as ghosts in the landscape alongside the ubiquitous white rendered crofthouses.

Gowanlea Residential Longside, Aberdeenshire This late Victorian semi-detached family home has been extended in order to create a contemporary open plan kitchen-dining and living space for an artist client who specified warmth, light and functionality as the key elements of the brief. The original house is of distinctive appearance, with an expressed dormered mansard roof form. The extension is designed to acknowledge the original form but add a simplified, well-proportioned and logical rectangular element which expresses itself through careful detailing. The requirement for a bespoke kitchen enabled the opportunity for a harmonious link between the original property and the new extension. The design also manipulates and articulates inherent visual and functional links between the new internal and external spaces. The rear garden incorporated an existing garage, high stone walls and timber fencing and included an active well near the rear of the existing kitchen. The rear garden has been replanned and simplified; the external hard landscaping and integration of water and formal seating areas are directly related to the simple, Kebony timber clad form of the extension.

Newton of Classlochie Residential Kinross Newton of Classlochie is located in rural Kinross-shire overlooking the picturesque Loch Leven to the south and Benarty Hill to the west. The development is comprised of twelve new homes with six house types. Three houses are built within the confines of an old stone steading, while a further nine new homes are strategically placed and scaled to create a small rural community. Garages and covered stores connect the new build homes as a method of recreating a steading feel without compromising on the privacy and independence of each of the homes. The individual houses have been designed to provide contemporary, open plan living spaces with framed views over the surrounding countryside. The houses range in size from 3 bedrooms to 6 bedrooms. Externally, smooth white rendered walls finish the houses with feature panels of local reclaimed sandstone creating added texture and depth. Siberian larch has been employed to clad the garages and dormer windows to echo the traditional use of timber to rural sheds and stores. Similarly, the slate roofs of the dwellings are set apart from the pantile roofs of the garages and stores recreating a hierarchy often seen in rural buildings.

St Andrews Crescent Residential Glasgow The refurbishment of two linked 1970s built housing blocks of 24 units each for Southside Housing Association. Approximately one-third of the units are privately owned with the remainder being socially rented accommodation. The exterior elevations have been given a more homogenous look to replace the bands effect horizontally, and the Mansard roof has been broken up to create a visually improved aesthetic more sympathetic to the original sixties-style of architecture. Internally, three of the flats were extended into the roof space with the potential to extend the remainder in the future. These created four-bedroom flats that are beneficial to the housing association. All flats had gas central heating installed to replace electric storage heaters. The deck access areas had a new, slip resistant and durable screeded floor installed and heavy duty cross corridor doors for fire and smoke separation. The deck access areas and the balconies were enclosed with a ventilated glazing system, which enables them to be enclosed against the weather but opened up as necessary, particularly useful in terms of the individual balconies to each flat.

Newbattle Gardens Residential Eskbank, Dalkeith The client's brief was to provide a larger kitchen and dining room, a larger utility room, a larder, a new garden room and a new selfenclosed home office / guest bedroom and a shower room. The proposals centre on the existing kitchen / dining room and extend out through the 'side' wall, which previously only had a small number of openings and the back door. The design of the extension sees an angled form that centres around the new kitchen. The angled form has been designed for a number of reasons. It creates a pinch point at the corner, which now strongly defines the two gardens. The angle also allows the new garden room to have a much more open aspect to the main garden, while the extension narrows to only 2m at the utility room and proposed back door end, which reduces any impact on the neighbours.

Buccleugh Street Residential Edinburgh The former Odeon, located between Buccleuch Street and Clerk Street in Edinburgh's South Side, was built in 1930 and operated as a cinema for over 70 years. The cinema is a Category A listed building which showcases some unique aspects of 1930s cinema design, but has been unnoccupied since it was sold by Odeon in 2003. Our student housing scheme, which provides 86 bedrooms in a range of studio and cluster flats, replaces the less significant rear areas of the cinema and infills an unsightly gap in the Buccleuch Street streetscape. The project has secured the future of the auditorium and foyer of the cinema for reuse as a cultural venue. Sympathetic in scale and proportion to the existing adjacent tenements, the street frontage uses a contemporary palette of materials which references the white Hathenware facade of the retained cinema entrance on Clerk Street.

Westhaugh Residential
Inverurie, Aberdeenshire The property is situated in a rural setting in the Don Valley adjacent to Bennachie; a prominent range of hills in Aberdeenshire. The brief was to rationalise the internal layout to suit the client's current and future requirements, including adding a new sunroom and ensuring the house is more thermally efficient. To achieve this the staircase has been reconfigured to reduce circulation space and provide an open plan kitchen and dining area at the heart of the house. The new timber and glass sunroom has been constructed from European Oak and provides a dining and sitting area that connects the house to the garden via a timber deck. European Oak was chosen due to its structural, weathering and aesthetic properties. The construction detailing of the Oak allows no visible external fixings to minimise any staining on the untreated timber and to encourage the oak to weather as evenly as possible; the intention is that the oak will complement the granite of the existing cottage. Steel plates have been used at the three main junctions of each bay to allow a simple and minimal structure. .

Designed by Aitken Turnbull Architects the scheme responds to the client brief for a home that respected it’s setting within a National Scenic Area and exploited its elevated panoramic views. This is achieved via a curvilinear plan that hugs the natural contours of the land together with an internal hierarchy of spaces dictated by the existing site levels. A materials palette consisting of dry whinstone, render, glazing and a Sarnafil 'wave' roof form which is intended to be an interpretation of the surrounding rolling hills.

Blakeburn Residential Near Melrose, Roxburghshire Our project at Blakeburn cottage involved the complete overhaul of a nondescript mid-20th Century dwelling in order to create a unique and elegant home in a fantastic rural location near Melrose, Roxburghshire. The footprint was extended to the east and west of the existing building, with the entire building then over clad in scorched larch. The visual impact was minimised by referencing the simple gable form of the existing building, and by utilising a restrained material pallete that was sympathetic to the site context. The result is a refined form with an external appearance that allows the building to blend into the woods to the east of the site. A full internal strip out also allowed us to create flexible accommodation on one level featuring double height space in all rooms that fully engages the roof pitch void. As in all principal rooms the dining space features large windows to allow key views to the surrounding countryside.

Contemporary House Extension Residential Edinburgh In 2013 a couple with a young family got in touch after moving from London to Edinburgh. They bought a classic 1930's square plan house in The house had enough bedrooms and a large garden but it didn't have a hub for family life. The kitchen was tiny and disconnected from the living and dining rooms, nor did those rooms take advantage of the garden. The client wanted the kitchen, living and dining all in one room yet not getting in each others way. The extension forms a new entrance to the house, which reduces the need to use the existing front door. This allows the existing hallway to become more private. The new extension contains all the living space and the existing house is now given over to bedrooms. The new open-plan space allows the family to be together in the same room but not get in one another way. Some can cook, others can read, watch TV or surf the web and the L-shape layout allows this to happen comfortably.

Balmwell Terrace Residential Howdenhall Road, Edinburgh The development at Balmwell Terrace has delivered 43 new affordable housing units for Link Housing Association, comprising of a mix of 2-bed terraced family homes and 1 or 2 bedroom flats on the site of a former council office building. A flatted block forms a linear block fronting on to Balmwell Terrace, re-instating and defining a street edge. This steps up in height from east to west, taking account of the low level housing to the east and creating a taller focal point to the west. The taller west corner has large feature windows facing out towards Howdenhall Road, marking the main pedestrian entrance into the site. The centre of the site is an open landscaped amenity space sheltered from the main road. A shared surface for parking,footways and the ma in access road in the site promotes a flexible use of the space for the occupants. The form of the flats and houses are kept as deliberately simple as possible with richness imparted through more intricate detailing at the main entrances and a strong repeating pattern of windows and openings.

Corian Clad Inside Outside Space Residential Edinburgh This indoor outdoor room is designed as an intermediary space between house and garden, where children can get messy, shelter, work, create and experiment, whilst still in view of the kitchen in the main house. The concept started with a corian work bench which goes from inside to outside. The corian walls then wrap up and around to form the space, whilst leaving glass sections allowing light in from different directions throughout the day. At the core of the room is a small contained seat for quieter retreating. Corian was chosen as the main material as it provides a folding enclosing sheet surface with sharp angled details, and also has interesting sensory qualities for children to touch and a sparkle to catch their eye as they pass. Viewed from different angles the room appears either as an enclosed containing space or as an open extension of the garden.

Sighthill Regeneration Residential North Glasgow Collective Architecture were commissioned by Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) to develop proposals for one of three sites allocated for the reprovision of housing for tenants across five high rise blocks in Sighthill, North Glasgow. The Sighthill redevelopment provides 141 new build houses and flats, making use of a mostly vacant site, following the demolition of a high rise block and low rise maisonettes. The remaining buildings have become run down and isolated, connected by redundant poor quality infrastructure. The issues of fragmentation and a lack of clear delineation of public and private space were priorities to be addressed in the new housing design. The site strategy therefore creates three distinctive urban blocks, creating new north-south streets connecting Fountainwell Drive and Fountainwell Road. These new blocks respond to the scale of the existing flats and provide complete streets with clear definition of public and private space. The north and south edges to the site are defined by flatted blocks, with terraced houses running north to south. The buildings to the northern edge facing the cemetery are 3 to 4 storey, creating a strong edge when approaching the site from both east and west. The contemporary response uses the roof pitches and corners to provide interest and variety along the streets, as well as deal with the challenges offered by level changes.

Danheldrew Residential Fyvie, Aberdeenshire Located in rural Aberdeenshire, this project re-utilises an existing derelict bothy on site and benefits from panoramic views across open countryside. The design concept looked at designing a modern family home that incorporates the existing bothy and keeps it prominent on the site. The new addition is located to the North of the bothy which is connected by a glazed link. The new addition houses the main living spaces and bedrooms, with the kitchen and dining area situated within the bothy. The house has been designed with no heating and is orientated to take full advantage of solar gain with large south facing openings and solar thermal panels. A wood burning stove is fitted within the main living area to boost the internal temperature when required and to maximise the use of the carbon neutral wood fuel. The new addition has a double frame construction filled with Icynene insulation. By providing this continuous layer of insulation, any cold bridging has been removed and airtight construction has been created.

3 Gardiner Crescent Residential Edinburgh Our clients have a strong affinity with Scandinavia – Mrs Penman is Swedish. Their children are being brought up bilingually. Buying their first house together in Blackhall made a lot of sense with a family on the horizon and while the houses can be a little cramped there is always room for expansion. This 68M2, semi-detached single storey house has the benefit of a 50M long back garden to provide the setting for a dramatic addition to provide a light filled space for a young family to grow up in. The form of the extension was developed to catch the sunlight from early morning and throughout the day and finally reflect the last of the evening sun down into the double storey height living space off the vast sloping ceiling plane. The extension and development of the attic space more than doubles the floor area of the house – all on a very tight budget. A minimal steel frame provides rigidity to the structure to allow the large areas of glazing and cantilevering floor out into the garden. Careful reconsideration of the geometry allowed 30 per cent of the initial steel arrangement to be designed out to further save costs. The reflex angles give order and control to the plan form while addressing key views from the entrance door through the living space and down the length of the rear garden and key sun angle. The soaring 5.1M tall frameless glazed apex corner cantilevers out over the garden giving a lightness to the massing. The extension is invisible from the street side of this semi-detached house but explodes out of the rear elevation in a wholly unexpected way.

Zinc House Residential Angus The agricultural landscape of Angus is the setting for 'Zinc-House', a purpose built home and office of 525m2 completed in 2015. The site topography is agrarian, expansive and deceptively undulous, it is also distinctly regularised, with the remnants of greeny-grey chlorite infused dry-stone dykes ordering gridded field patterns. The house presents as a composition of aggregated internal and external spaces articulated and unified by a continuous roof. Built over one-and-a-half storeys the whole is divided into four tied elements; car port, garage/office, entrance/court, and house. The clients desire to capitalise on an uninterrupted southerly aspect whilst also having more intimate & characterful spaces is realised through the sectional split: articulated free-plan on the ground floor with a formed room-plan above. Cut from the house, on both levels, are protected external terraces. To give primacy to the formal intent of the building the architects chose to unify the elements in a single skin of ‘betongrau’ Zinc. The colour was chosen to match the chlorite mineral and also to reference the ubiquitous agricultural sheds found in this region.

Bakehouse Rresidential Edinburgh In an exceptionally sensitive context; a World Heritage zone, the Old and New Town and adjacent to Holyrood Palace, The Scottish Parliament, Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags; it was our hope to create a building which sat quietly, elegantly and confidently amongst these prestigious neighbours. The desire was to repair, through reintroduction, the missing urban grain of Abbeymount, and through the use of considered proportions and form, in mass and fenestration, create a streetscape which reflected many qualities of historic Edinburgh streetscapes. Tall, slender window openings, a consistent order and rhythm to the fenestration and façade; and a scale which while enclosing the street retained the fleeting views toward Arthurs Seat and Salisbury Crags. On Abbeyhill the building has been subdivided into an arrangement of tall, slender frontages – reminiscent of the character and style of the Old Town, and through the roofscape the ‘hit-and-miss’ aesthetic of the frontfacing chimney breasts found on Royal Park Terrace has been extended in a contemporary idiom.

Parkview Residential Dundee Parkview is a prominent site to the west end of Dundee, its park-like setting compliments the adjacent Victoria Park to the east, Balgay Park to the north and the Western Cemetery to the South West. The main feature of the site is the exuberant Scots Jacobean former industrial school, which has been carefully restored and converted to a residential development. To the east of the former school a series of new build flats and mews houses have been designed to occupy the gap site created by the removal of the 1970’s Duncan House School building. The architecture of these new build properties pick up on the scale of the existing school and carry through the architectural language that was initiated in the mews properties. The south facing properties stem off a central entrance close and all take advantage of the dramatic views, while the mews block to the north is set back to form a small courtyard and continues the line formed by the laundry extension in the main building. The stepped form of the flats minimises the impact of the of the new development on the site and enables the existing mature trees to remain undisturbed. The materiality of stone, timber and zinc carries through to continue a sympathetic yet contemporary palette within the site.

Ronald McDonald House Health Glasgow Ronald McDonald House has been conceived as a thirty bedroom ‘home from home’ providing comfort and shelter to the families of sick children being treated at the newly adjacent Royal Hospital for Children. An intuitive series of interconnected public, private and semi-private spaces provide a calming backdrop and a sense of the familiar to the guests staying in a temporary yet foreign environment. The architecture addresses the inherent sensitivities of an end user reaching out for comfort and reassurance whilst embodying the surrounding character of the shipbuilding urban context. The result is a series of vernacular white brick forms, interconnected by green-roofed, white concrete porticos which in turn create an industrial silhouette fronting Govan Road - shielding the house from the noise of rumbling buses and screaming ambulances. The plan forms a series of semi-enclosed courtyards providing visual and physical amenity space to the residents. These enclosures, in conjunction with the materiality of the brick, bring domesticity and human scale to the scheme; whilst offering an urban oasis of vibrant trees, shrubs and plants, contrasting with the otherwise institutional context of the Queen Elizabeth University (super) Hospitals Campus.

The Centre of Wellbeing Health Craigmillar, Edinburgh The Centre of Wellbeing, in Edinburgh, for the Thistle Foundation – a charitable organisation who offer support to those with disabilities, enabling them to live independent lives, in their own homes. Replacing a former facility that was no longer fit for purpose and uneconomical, the footprint of the building was rotated through 90 degrees, forming a more permeable public realm to the front of the building and improving the setting of the Chapel, whilst creating a secured garden space to the rear of the site, now a designated Conservation Area. A series of complementary facilities, including a gym, consultation and training rooms and the Charity’s office accommodation, are anchored around a double-height ‘Hub’ space. Through extensive use of timber cladding, both inside and out, the project offers a warm and inviting environment for those who visit, many of whom suffer from anxiety-related conditions. Crafting a non-institutional and friendly presence was instrumental in ensuring that the built environment aligned to the core ethos of the Charity. Opened in 2016 the new facility replaces the former Tudsbery Centre.

Technology & Innovation Centre Education George Street, Glasgow The Technology & Innovation Centre (TIC) by the University of Strathclyde is a collaborative research and conference centre. The building provides research spaces, collaborative meeting spaces and laboratories for around 900 staff. Additionally the building provides conference facilities and meeting rooms, including a 450 and 150 seat auditorium. The TIC project is highly ambitious and the results are truly transformational. With a project value in the region of ÂŁ89million it was the single largest projectin the Scottish higher education sector at the time, and is unique in that it is not directed at under-graduate teaching, indeed teaching in the traditional sense plays no part in the TIC programme. Instead the TIC bridged the gap between academia and industry and in so doing strengthen collaboration and encourage true innovation in practical research working.

ARKE Education Kilbeg, Isle of Skye The new ARKE (Administration, Research, Knowledge and Enterprise) building for Sabhal Mor Ostaig Gaelic College at Kilbeg on the Isle of Skye was officially opened by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on 21 October 2015. The building was designed through an innovative collaboration between Glasgow architects, Holmes Miller and Rural Design. The partnership brought together the large scale education experience of Holmes Miller and the local design presence of Rural Design to create a truly inspiring piece of campus architecture which sits confidently into its island setting. The simple double pitched form is punctuated by a variety of openings. The angled gable entrance celebrates its public functions, of meeting room and cafe, together with the principals office directly above the entrance recess. Simplicity of form and detailing has been essential to the success of the project. The building is highly sustainable with an “Excellent” BREEAM assessment and EPC “A” rating. The heating is provided by a biomass energy centre and electricity supplied by roof mounted photovoltaic panels.

James Gillespies High School Education Edinburgh City Council James Gillespie’s High School was included in the Wave 3 of funding from Edinburgh City Council’s on-going programme of investment to create education facilities that are fit for purpose in the 21st Century. The “A” listed Bruntsfield House has been refurbished to provide student support accommodation and administration. Each building has been designed as a separate entity that can be used in combination or separately. Four flexible collaborative spaces within the Main Teaching Block have been developed to reflect the four main curriculum groupings. The Performance Building design offers a practical range of settings for various assembly and performance sizes and events. The Sports Pavilion provides regional-standard training facilities. The new buildings are versatile and adaptable, providing flexible ‘learning settings’ that support the multiplicity of activities associated with the learning process now and in the future, as well as creating a range of pupil experiences and choice. This complex project provides an exemplar in the development of educational facilities that reflect the philosophy of the new Curriculum for Excellence, while the architectural response evolves its form and mass from the unique setting of the locale and its campus environment.

Circulation through the building on both levels is orientated to the south, animating the more public external façade with wide corridors on the upper level acting as a viewing gallery out towards the striking grounds and on the lower level a loggia to the circulation route around the hockey pitch. In this way the building whilst accommodating teaching functions also performs in the abstract as a stadium structure to the overlooked sports setting.

St Bride's Primary Education Cambuslang Within the South Lanarkshire Council Framework, Stallan Brand were appointed to design a 12 classroom new build on the site of the existing St Bride’s Primary school, located within the semi urban context of Cambuslang town centre. The site presents numerous spatial and organisations challenges, which have subsequently generated a bold and unique educational experience. The plan is organised around a tapered central atrium, which features a stepped amphitheatre, open plan teaching spaces, ICT and library spaces. Classrooms relate directly to external teaching zones and landscape beyond. The playground will be carved into the site which will be enhanced with furniture and heavy planting to create a ‘secret garden’ for the children. The elevation treatment has been designed with two distinct characteristics. The use of pared back brick elevation to the public street contrasts to the life and vibrancy of the playground elevation which is reinforced by carved entrances and architectural accents.

Saunders Centre, Education Glasgow The Saunders Centre includes a new auditorium with 178 capacity and support facilities. Suitable for both lectures and small performances, this space is available for use by the wider community complemented by a generous foyer that wraps around the sculptural elliptical form. Surmounting this floor of teaching, and lecture spaces and catering for the shared spaces (served by a new HE lab) is a floor each for Physics, Biology and Chemistry. On each upper floor four general teaching labs together with a sixth year lab are arranged along a glazed break out and bay windowed passage overlooking the historic main school. The reinforced concrete structural frame is clad in a pattern of precast polished and honed finishes, in a modular assembly that rises from a ground floor pilaster faced open foyer, through a sequence of bay windows to a reinterpretation of the Glasgow dormer at roof level. The project, situated in a sensitive conservation area, required careful negotiation with both the local authority and residents through the process.

City of Glasgow College Riverside Campus Education Glasgow The Riverside Campus was designed in a joint venture between Michael Laird Architects and Reiach and Hall Architects and is the result of a combination of ideas about the city and the student experience. Located at the edge of a major crossing of the River Clyde, the site marks a gateway in the city and projects the College’s importance as a civic institution as well as creating a new memorable landmark on the Glasgow skyline. The new buildings are organized around two new civic spaces – a cloistered garden and a grand hall. These convivial, social spaces, encourage students to mix and realize opportunities for blended learning across disciplines, whilst truly engaging in the culture and dynamics of the city. Our ambition was to redesign the College’s previous setup (silos for different disciplines spread across the city) into a careful arrangement of spaces for students and staff.

Lairdsland Primary Education Kirkintilloch Following Scottish Futures Trust’s initiative to design a reference primary school for Scotland, Walters & Cohen was chosen by East Dunbartonshire Council (EDC) to build out our proposals for the new Lairdsland Primary School in Kirkintilloch. The building accommodates 280 pupils aged 4-11 on a brownfield site adjacent to the Forth and Clyde Canal, a scheduled monument. The location of the building on the site was a key decision made through consultation: the preference was to identify the school with the canal, which resulted in siting the building parallel to the water. The two-storey building has semi-open plan learning spaces with doubleheight glazing on the canal side (facing north) and internal glazed screens to the classrooms. Responding to the desire to teach indoors and outdoors, every classroom has a covered outdoor learning area. There is a covered terrace adjacent to the canal and a large first floor terrace overlooking the canal and playground to the south. Pupils move freely between quieter classrooms and busier shared spaces.

Brimmond School Education Aberdeen Our design solution was driven by the ancient Greek idea of an ‘Agora’; a public space at the centre of the social, cultural, spiritual and political life of Greek cities where citizens could meet and engage with each other. The agora concept helped us to organise a plan arrangement which clearly defines the school as a civic building via a generous front of house entrance experience linked directly to the central agora. The school was planned as a series of destinations like a small town or village each linked by stimulating, useable, meaningful spaces. Teaching clusters are organised around the agora in a staggered plan format and each cluster contains a large, naturally lit central activity space shared between the individual class bases around. The 4500sqm facility provides 420 primary and 80 nursery places as well as a specialist accommodation for visual support services. The classrooms are naturally ventilated and have large areas of glazing providing bright, healthy learning environments. Generous circulation spaces within the school double as shared informal learning spaces.

New Offices for Russwood Ltd Commercial Newtonmore HRI Architects were commissioned by Russwood to design their new offices situated alongside Newtonmore railway station with open views across the Cairngorms. The linear form was derived by its relationship with the railway line and station. The plan layout was a direct reference to the former sidings where the building is situated. The stratified form also makes reference to the layered landscape that the building is so intimately engaged with. The choice of roof form was also inspired by the sweeping shapes of the surrounding hills; the large roof overhangs offering significant protection to the timber clad walls. The structure is a highly expressed glulam frame with heavily insulated timber infill panels that demonstrate various cladding materials and their installation techniques. The windows, manufactured by local Highland company Treecraft, are made from Accoya; a modified timber with exceptional durability. Situated to offer specific vistas the windows along the elevation fronting the railway station follow a rhythmic variable five panel sequence that give reference to the similar procession of railway carriages that pass the building throughout the day.

110 Queen Street Commercial Queen Street, Glasgow 110 Queen Street is a mixed-use development offering retail and office space totalling an impressive 224,000ft² encased within a concave façade of curtain wall glazing. The £25.7m development reinstates the building line of Ingram Street and Queen Street whilst enhancing pedestrian flow fromBuchanan Street to the Merchant City. The curvature of the building makes reference to the curved corner form of the 1839 David and James Hamilton building which formerly occupied the site prior to the construction of the 1960’s Royal Bank of Scot;and building. At pedestrian and ground floor level the softer building form enhances pedestrian flow and the quality of the new urban realm to the forecourt and perimeter of the building. The upper portion of the rear elevation, which is prominent from George Square, comprises a wall of dark grey metal panels, ostensibly to visually marry with the lead roofing of Lomond House.

Our proposal also placed the café on the first floor but changed the orientation by ninety degrees so that the majority of the seats looked west towards the 1st tee and fairway.

Glasgow Fort Commercial Easterhouse The second phase of the hugely successful Glasgow Fort retail development is located ten miles east of Glasgow city centre, within Easterhouse town centre and is accessed directly from Junction 10 of the M8 motorway. The brief for this phase of the project was to not only complete the final quarter of the shopping centre and present a strong edge to the motorway but also to supplement the variety of retail and restaurant unit configurations already delivered within the original phase. The total scheme comprises 180,000ft2 of Class 1 retail accommodation of which 120,000ft2 has been constructed in a combination of terrace, anchor store and individual stand-alone kiosk formats to satisfy current retailer and restaurant demand. The horseshoe plan is terminated in an iconic three-storey pavilion which has been designed to be visible from all sides and provide a strong anchor to the end of the mall. This 80,000ft2 department store is occupied by M&S. Massing and form together with the elevational treatment of this phase are contextual and broadly match the initial phase although an improvement in the quality of cladding materials both on the building and throughout the public realm areas is reflective of the standard of tenants now targeted at The Fort. External public areas include hard and soft landscaping, street furniture, sculptures and art.

Annan House Commercial Aberdeen The £22.3m office complex is the new North Sea headquarters for EnQuest, the largest independent oil producer in the North Sea, and comprises approximately 120,000ft² over eight storeys with associated car parking. Annan House is also the control centre and disaster recovery centre for EnQuest’s offshore operation, and as such the mechanical, electrical resilience and data provision within the building is exceptional. Unlike the vast majority of office developments M&E provision can be catered for at roof and basement level, however practically all of the 20,000ft² roof and lower levels of the car park are given over to mechanical and electrical plant. The building shape and orientation is in response to the wider ‘The Grande’ site masterplan. It is intended that the building forms a linear ‘bookend’ to Palmerston Road, which will be complimented in a future phase by a building of similar scale and mass to Annan House. The car park is conceived as a lower element which will tie the two phases together, and a third phase to the east will complete the development.

The building was last used as a public house and part of the roof had been damaged by fire leading to an advanced state of rot throughout the building. The existing building had a deep plan with few windows. New openings were created to the north and south and rooms were arranged around a central atrium. To provide the necessary accommodation a new zinc-clad rooftop extension was added to the rear of the front pitch so as not to alter the street elevation. The external elevation was subject to masonry repairs and new windows were provided to reduce heat loss and sound transmission. Bedrooms were provided on all floors and a new glazed lift was inserted into the atrium. Remaining original features such as the Pencheck staircase and central atrium were retained and expressed in the design. Existing brick walls with Glasgow-made bricks were exposed at ground floor within the coffee shop and within some rooms to maintain a connection with the buildings past for todays residents. Arranged over five floors Z Hotel styles itself as a haunt for urbanites, not tourists, by offering all the requisite comforts for a couple of nights in town at an out-of-town price.

Botanic Cottage Historic Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh The Botanic Cottage was first built in 1766 on Haddington Place, Leith Walk, Edinburgh, when the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh was located here during the Scottish Enlightenment. It was commissioned by John Hope, the King's Botanist for Scotland, and served as both a centre for botanical research and the head gardener's home. Students taught during this time included Benjamin Rush, one for the founding fathers of the United States, and Thomas Charles Hope who discovered the element strontium and also taught Charles Darwin. However, when the Royal Botanic Garden moved to its current location in Inverleith in 1823 this modest but important building was left behind. Despite being somewhat disfigured, the cottage survived the following centuries until it was threatened with demolition in 2008. Saved from this fate the cottage structure was carefully recorded and moved to Inverleith.. The building, which was designed by John Adam, eldest of the Adam brothers, and extended by James Craig in the 1780s, was rebuilt in 2016, two hundred and fifty years after its original build, and serves once again as an educational 'hub' within the Demonstration Garden on the north side of the Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Traditional materials and finishes were employed during the construction such as lath and lime plaster internally and lime harling/ limewashing externally, and benefits from universal access and subtle ecological additions such as solar panels and an air-source heat pump.

Mount Road Historic Montrose This oak framed sunspace was designed as a replacement to a previous uPVC sunroom which had been constructed onto an historic villa in Montrose. The previous sunspace extended beyond the original house incongruently. It obscured the views of the rear of the property and made the rooms within the house dark and unwelcoming. The aspiration of the replacement sunroom was to reduce the size of the extension, simplify the plan and the appearance of the house. A large steel beam was inserted to allow the removal of the external wall and the amalgamation of previously internal rooms to create a large open plan living space. A solid oak structure frames large panels of glazing with wrap over patent glazing to the roof flooding the interior with afternoon and evening light. Externally, the glazing and oak frame sits back from and subservient to the main house allowing the shape of the old roof-scape to be defined separately to the oak extension.

Both dominating and delicate, a new lighting scheme was needed to bring the Scott Monument back to life. The masonry is immensely fragile and conservation requirements are rigid, therefore we restricted our brief to using existing mounting points. We endeavoured to avoid additional punctures that could cause cracking or structural issues in the future. The light glides over the stonework, defining key architectural features. Our final design also includes eight additional doubled-headed custom bollards.
