Urban Realm’s Architecture Annual returns in bombastic style for 2018, dominated by two larger than life projects which place Scottish architecture (if not Scottish architects) firmly on the international map.

With the V&A Dundee (pg 22) Japanese architect Kengo Kuma has achieved the seemingly impossible by pulling off a Bilbao-style attraction with which to reignite fire in the belly of every true Dundonian, by opening up a fresh a perspective of a waterfront city breaking free of jute, jam and journalism cliches. Housing Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Oak Room, on public display for the first time in 50 years, it delivers much needed hope following yet another devastating fire at the Glasgow School of Art. The V&A is joined by a North East temple of a different kind after London-based Richard Rogers & Partners brought their trademark hi-tech style deep into the Speyside countryside for The Macallan Distillery & Visitor Experience (pg 87). A rolling tribute to the romance of whisky making it shows that modern architecture can be just as entwined in the mythos of spirit making as pagodas and cart horses.

Amidst the bombast lie lower key but no less important projects which carry the can for indigenous design, not least architects McGinlay Bell who ran away with the Scottish Design Award

architecture grand prix courtesy of the Glasgow Film Theatre (pg 110). An interior remodelling it shows that great architecture isn’t just about building anew but making optimal use of what we have, a sentiment we can appreciate now more than ever.

Ever reliable standard bearers Reiach & Hall also return with Nucleus (pg 18), a typically sharp response to the demands of housing and protecting digital, paper and photographic records documenting the UK nuclear industry.

At the opposite end of the scale more intimate additions come from Hoskins Architects, whose work at Allermuir Health Centre (pg 48) and Brodie Castle (pg 21) show that size isn’t everything.

In truth this work sits as the merest tip of an iceberg of content, best appreciated by a leisurely browse. There are plenty of surprises nestling amongst their number which we have carefully compiled from online entries, sparing you from further screen time in the process.

There is much to appreciate here so from here on in we will allow the architecture to do the talking!

St. Cecilia's Concert Room & Music Museum Public Edinburgh The context for this project was the desire by the University of Edinburgh to improve awareness, function and amenity of St. Cecilia’s Hall, as an appropriate home for their world-class collection of musical instruments.

The removal of the former Caretakers Flat to the north of the existing building complex unlocked the opportunity to create a new public entrance and to house all of the ancillary facilities required to run the contemporary museum and concert room facility. The new four storey entrance building houses a double height entrance reception and orientation space with office accommodation, internal plant room and a green room above.

In parallel, the existing building was carefully opened up to reveal a new journey through the instrument collection with vistas from foyers through galleries to the city beyond. Visitor orientation was to be intuitive, guided by the unravelling sequence of spaces. Glimpses are offered into gallery spaces through new glazed openings when in performance mode in the evenings.

As architects, we like to work with associations as architecture is not only the physical fabric but the ideas and thoughts that influence it. By extension, our embracing new ‘L’ volume becomes imagined as an instrument, taking cues in form, texture and materiality from the qualities of the collection - rooting the building in its setting.

It was a wonderful opportunity to create a sensitive yet bold new piece of civic architecture within the Old Town.

Brodick Ferry Terminal Public Isle of Arran Occupying a prominent position on the waterfront in the town of Brodick, Arran’s new Ferry Terminal offers a new civic gateway to this beautiful island. The building forms part of a wider harbour redevelopment and is designed as a contemporary yet contextual insertion into the existing townscape.

In architectural terms, the building is essentially a linear reflection of a linear process, enhanced by the use of levels and enriched by its prominent setting parallel to the sea. From an arriving ferry, the use of roof-lights, the variety of window sizes, the occasional use of deep reveals and the gently curving lines of the building’s form all help to break down its overall scale. That, combined with the use of traditional hues and colours such as white walls, grey metal roof elements, and a red sandstone rain-screen, assists in anchoring what is a very large contemporary building into its more vernacular context.

Most prominent public buildings on Arran, including the castle and many of its churches are constructed in red sandstone, and so is the new terminal.

The ground floor incorporates the main entry and reception foyer (from the west) and drop-off area (to the south) together with a variety of supporting staff and operational facilities. The first floor, accessed either by the processional stair to the north of the plan, or through the centrally located lift core, is dominated by the main departure lounge.

This large space is the transparent heart of the building enjoying panoramic northward views and diffuse, generally north-facing natural light. It is a pleasant space in which to dwell, and provides powerful visual connections between inside and out.

All vessels are accessed via the fully glazed passenger access system at first floor level, offering a visually transparent and functionally flexible connection to the new pier area at a height which allows the safe passage of large vehicles arriving from the ferry below.

Disembarking foot passengers arrive at the curving arrivals staircase to the east of the plan leading directly to the main pick-up and drop-off point to the south. The centrally located dual action lift core can also be easily accessed on arrival if required.

The building’s compact form offers a good external wall to floor area ratio bringing inherent value and enhanced thermal performance for the client. .

Barmulloch Residents' Centre Public Glasgow The new Barmulloch Residents' Centre opened in 2017 and is designed to be highly sustainable and provide flexible activity spaces to meet the needs and aspirations of local residents.

Collective Architecture was appointed in 2007 to undertake a feasibility study for the existing community centre which explored a number of refurbishment, extension and new build options. It took ten years from that initial appointment to deliver the project on site and in this time, we continued to work closely with the client to help achieve the capital funding targets from over eight funding bodies.

The design maximises the site constraints within a densely populated residential street whilst retaining the scale, charm and simplicity of the original hall.

The building uses innovative glulam timber frame construction and locally sourced sandstone, providing a thermally efficient building fabric. Air source heat pumps provide underfloor heating throughout to reduce running costs and sustain the building well into the future.

The building delivers two main flexible activity spaces separated by a folding partition, contained within an elegant single storey sloping roof. This allows the smaller space to act as a stage for community events by capitalising on internal level changes.

Ceiling coffers formed by the structural grid of the glulam beams provide a strong identity for the building whilst also framing generous rooflights intended to reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. The grid pattern is carried through into BCDC signage and building manifestation to provide continuity of architectural language.

Museum Store Public 9 High Street, Paisley Collective Architecture and Renfrewshire Council are delighted to reveal Scotland's first high street museum store in Paisley. The facility is set within a prime town centre property (a former Littlewoods department store) helping to revitalise the High Street and provide convenient access with its central location.

This refurbishment has created a stateof-the-art Museum Store that safely houses Renfrewshire Council museum collections in climate-controlled conditions. It also facilitates behind-the-scenes visits for school groups, interested parties and researchers, thus opening up the full collection to the wider public.

The design concept plays on the excitement a visitor will feel when entering the store via a narrow yellow entrance and descending down into the deep, dark foyer via the yellow staircase. The scale of the stores is dramatically revealed when entering the exaggerated long spine corridor revealing the surprising depth of the facility. The corridor is animated by glazed screens providing enticing views into the stores. A layer of graphics (developed in collaboration with ISO Design and artist Toby Paterson) further emphasises the scale.

Due to the limited 2100 sq. m footprint of the existing building, Collective Architecture were initially tasked with a full survey and volumetric assessment of the existing collection. Options were developed to demonstrate that the proposed space could accommodate the entire collection with at least 10% future expansion. A detailed storage design was subsequently developed to allow the storageracking package to be put out to tender as a design and build package. All the stores have individual work stations to allow curators to work closely with each collection.

The project focuses on the conservation and restoration of Perth Theatre's historic category 'B' listed Edwardian auditorium. This is one of Scotland's oldest and most historic repertory theatres. The building itself was constructed in 1900 but it is part of a much longer history of theatre in Perth dating back to 1589.

The need to repair and restore the theatre proved the catalyst for a more ambitious plan to address not only all the accessibility and practical needs of a theatre in the 21st Century but also to provide for the aspirations of a vibrant producing theatre with a lively community programme.

The design proposed the restoration of the theatre; the refurbishment of the dressing room wing to the north of the stage and the demolition of all the additions to allow the creation of a completely new entrance, foyer and 200 seat Studio Theatre.

The design focuses on revealing the original box of the theatre – exposing what was once its external side wall of brick within a new top lit triple height foyer and enjoying the moments where one passes from new to old through this wall. All the public facilities are then directly linked to this foyer – the studio and community spaces open directly off it and the cafe and bar sit within it at ground and first floor. The key goal of the scheme is to create simple, legible and accessible routes to all spaces - in contrast to the labyrinthine original layout.

The new entrance on Mill Street is part of a wider master-plan to make that street into a cultural hub with the concert hall at one end and the Theatre at the other and the theatre effectively turns itself around to do that but its old High Street entrance is also still available.

Ownership issues meant we were never able to achieve a ground floor entrance from this doorway but the original entrance steps still bring you directly into the first floor of the foyer.

The new Studio Theatre, which is a fully flexible flat floored space with retractable seating is located at first floor level above the Mill Street entrance. Its reflective metal and glass exterior is back-lit to form the principal facade of the new theatre and includes a giant LED TV screen. There is also a second flexible performance room – which can be subdivided.

The back of house wing includes refurbished dressing rooms, a new green room, rehearsal space and a production workshop and the new Dock area – which is discretely located to the side of the entrance and includes a stage lift to serve the two spaces.

Sixteen Church Street Public Dumbarton Delivered through hub West Scotland for West Dunbartonshire Council, the project involves the relocation of 500 staff from the current WDC Council offices, located on the periphery of the town, to a new brownfield site in the heart of the town centre.

Creating a focal point for the local community, the project integrates the retained façade of the Grade A listed old Dumbarton Academy, by William Leiper, originally completed in 1865. A one stop shop, flexible civic space, meeting and training rooms form the ‘public’ front of house, with three floors of flexible, well-lit office floor plates beyond.

The accommodation is wrapped around a central, social atrium space which promotes a sustainable natural ventilation solution for the building. Externally, the building creates a new public realm landscaped space together with a semi private staff amenity space, looking out to Dumbarton Rock.

The Muirfield Public Cumbernauld The Muirfield is a new build enterprise and community facility in Cumbernauld town centre that provides social, commercial and cultural activities under one roof. The project was commissioned by North Lanarkshire Council via Hub South West in partnership with local groups and organisations. The site is centrally located within Cumbernauld Town Centre, bounded by residential properties and mature woodland. The Muirfield is the largest development to be built in Cumbernauld since the construction of the town centre structure itself.

The existing building was in a state of disrepair, lacked flexibility and was dominated by car parking and hard boundaries. A series of consultation events and discussions highlighted that the existing building was not fit for purpose and wider opportunities and benefits could be gained from a new build.

The new facility provides purpose built accommodation for the existing groups combined with additional shared spaces, community learning and development areas, a café/kitchen area, a new courtyard, purpose built nursery and garden, 1000m2 of office space for social enterprises plus 8000m2 of shared open space. Public events, classes, exhibitions, meetings and performances can take place in the large community hall, meeting areas and shared flexible spaces, linked via a 3-storey atrium.

A series of public artworks were commissioned specifically for the new building, most notably a new external light work by Patricia Fleming Projects inspired by the Langriggs of Old Cumbernauld. The building form is deliberately powerful to convey the important activities which take place within it and brings these together within one coherent form. A controlled palette of materials has been chosen to reflect this. The bottom two storeys are formed in brickwork with deep window reveals and colonnades at ground level. The upper storey is formed in glazed curtain walling and cladding panels to form a lightweight ‘cap’ to the building.

The landscaping strategy is simple and clear. A network of well-lit, tree-lined paths connect existing pathways, roads and underpasses. A new open area for events and play is combined with woodland play, multisports and public seating to reinforce the main entrance and civic nature of the building. The new parkland and enhanced wayfinding link the new facility back to Cumbernauld Town Centre, delivering a community asset beyond the physical building itself.

The Horticultural Training & Community Centre located on Mearns Street, Greenock conceived by Inverclyde Association for Mental Health and funded by the Big Lottery and Scottish Regeneration Capital Grant adopts an unconventional approach to providing a community facility. The community centre and training facility is owned and managed by a local horticulture social enterprise. Access to the community facilities, growing gardens and walled garden is unrestricted to the community and in addition In-Work (a subsidiary SE of IAMH) uses the growing gardens for commercial production of shrubs and soft landscaping.

In-Work operate the community cafe (which will be served by the produce from the growing gardens) and provide training and educational programmes within the several seminar and teaching spaces.

The project was conceived as a walled garden, with a green roof and densely planted courtyard the scheme takes its cues from Greenock’s rich history of terraced green spaces and parks. In this way a new green space for Greenock is formed, advertised through the tree canopy and rooftop planting, which is visible behind and above the deeply textured brick wall enclosure. Entrances to the walled garden are formed within anterooms landscaped thresholds, which help to mediate between the street and the quiet courtyard.

Accommodation comprises a walled garden designed to support people with cognitive impairments, community hall & cafe, seminar and meeting areas, roof top garden, offices, education rooms, workshops, greenhouses and accommodation for In-Work staff & volunteers.

The importance of establishing a robust mechanism for providing community benefits through the project was considered early into the procurement stages. This was lead by INCH who prepared a bespoke Community Benefits Plan, Community Benefits clauses for inclusion within the contract and advised the Client on all aspects of ‘quality’ within the PQQ and ITT stages of the tender process. Our multi-disciplinary design team for this project also comprised a SocioEconomic Consultant. We worked closely with this consultant to deliver the capital project in parallel with the proposed business model and revenue funding streams.

The McEwan Hall Public Teviot Place, Edinburgh The McEwan Hall is Edinburgh University’s Graduation Hall and principal ceremonial space. New students attend introductory lectures there during fresher’s week and leaving students graduate from it.

The Hall was, however, in need of a major overhaul as its facilities did not meet contemporary expectations. LDN were, therefore, appointed by the University of Edinburgh to develop proposals that dramatically enhance the capability of the A Listed McEwan Hall to fulfil its role at the heart of University life and provide a new income stream through rental for music events and conferences.

The extraordinarily impressive auditorium has been restored and building services have been upgraded throughout the building, all sensitively integrated with the listed interiors.

New support accommodation has been created under Bristo Square around the perimeter of the building and the square itself has been upgraded. A new free-standing entrance pavilion has also been formed in the square to provide universal access to the building for the first time.

The proposals have received detailed scrutiny from statutory bodies and architectural heritage groups and LDN worked hard to build consensus and support throughout the project.

In 2016 Hoskins Architects won a competitive bid to design a visitor pavilion to sit alongside a new landscaped space for exploration and adventure, on behalf of the National Trust for Scotland. Set within the walled garden at Brodie Castle in Morayshire, the site is intended to become a key visitor attraction, further supporting Scotland’s heritage. The garden, now complete, has been designed by landscape architects erz and is based on the themes of family and play. It includes slides, tunnels, and an array of engaging, fantastical sculptural elements.

The new visitor pavilion acts as the public entrance to the ‘Playful Garden’ and also provides retail, catering, and indoor play spaces. The pavilion design seeks to evoke the form and materiality of an ancillary agricultural building, in order not to disrupt the hierarchy of built form across the castle estate; while simultaneously feeling like a public building.

The design is intended for year-round use, and to support special events and exhibitions.

A celebratory opening event was held in the garden in summer 2018.

V&A Dundee Public Dundee Waterfront V&A Dundee was designed by renowned award-winning Japanese architects Kengo Kuma & Associates, following an international competition, and is Kuma’s first building in the UK. Considered by many as the quintessential Japanese architect of today, Kuma is also designing the stadium for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Kuma’s vision for V&A Dundee is that it will be a welcoming space for everyone to visit, enjoy and socialise in – a 'living room for the city' – and a way of reconnecting the city to its historic River Tay waterfront. Along with V&A Dundee, Kuma is involved in a number of large, ongoing projects, including arts centres in Besançon and Granada.

Curving concrete walls (there are no straight external walls) hold 2,500 pre-cast rough stone panels, weighing up to 3000 kg each and spanning up to 4m wide, to create the appearance of a Scottish cliff face. There are 21 separate wall sections. V&A Dundee is an impressive 8,000m² building, with 1,650m² of gallery space.

After a Low and Zero Carbon Technologies study was undertaken in 2011 as part of the project’s BREEAM obligation to identify the most appropriate form of renewable energy for the building, geothermal energy was identified as the solution.

Thirty 200-metre deep bore holes form part of this system for the heating and cooling of the building, supplemented by air source heat pumps on the roof. These provide direct renewable energy for the museum, with 800,000 kWh/annum of heating and 500,000 kWh/annum of cooling.

Construction of the building is being led by Dundee City Council, with project management from Turner & Townsend. The total cost of design, construction and fit-out is £80.11m.

St Comghans Chapel Public Kilchoan Estate, near Kilmelford In our high pressure modern lifestyles there is a need for places where we can step out, take a deep breath and refocus.

The brief was for a new-build private chapel on a west coast of Scotland estate influenced by the abbey buildings on Iona and St. Margaret’s Chapel at Edinburgh Castle. In this once-in-a-lifetime commission quality was paramount without all the usual compromises.

The site sits beside the sea and backs onto woodland. A small garden creates a transition zone before the entrance.

The building consists of simple forms, massive walls and small windows, contrasted with intricate decoration in selected areas.

Typical Romanesque designs combine with Celtic key patterns and knotwork inspired by St. Comghan after whom the estate is named.

The design uses simple geometric proportions of square, circle and golden rectangle and makes use of the symbolic numbers of three (the Trinity) and seven (creation, perfection, Sabbath rest).

Traditionally constructed solid granite walls carry a self-supporting stone vault and a domed apse. All stone was dressed and carved by hand in a process which would have been familiar to a medieval mason although helped by modern power tools and scaffold.

The warm sheen of the handmade terracotta floor complements the stonework and the oak. Intricate carving picks out the entrance and chancel arch. The custom bronze door handles tell the story of St. Comghan - an Irish king become monk - in the royal torc ring handles and Iona cross backplates. The tactile nature of the materials – the cold weight of bronze, the roughness of stone and the smooth warmth timber give a sense of calm and permanence.

In an age of throwaway mass production, this building is hand crafted and designed to last and stand as a place of contemplation and worship for generations to come.

Hamilton Road Residential Gullane, East Lothian We were approached by clients in Gullane, East Lothian to design two extensions.

One to the rear of the house with a new garden room / kitchen and one to the side to provide two additional bedrooms, a utility room and a shower room. Plus the complete reconfiguration of the ground floor of the existing house to create an open plan hallway, master bedroom and en-suite.

The extension at the rear extends out from the existing kitchen along the full length of the boundary fence to create a space that turns to face the garden and the orientation of the sun. We also took down the wall between the existing kitchen and living room so that the new open living space extends from the front of the existing house right through to the new extension and the garden. This space is broken down by a large rooflight, a split level and a desk / shelf unit but also tied together with a long storage / feature wall that runs from a TV unit in the living space through storage for the kitchen to the back drop for a new wood burning stove, while also framing the entrance from the hall.

Smooth white render is used to frame the main elevation as a nod to the existing house, with timber cladding and large sliding doors set back under a timber clad overhang.

The side extension was predominately designed to match the existing house, so that from the road there is no indication that the house has been extended. The existing roof has been fully re-tiled along with the neighbours so that the property from the front looks original. There is a small suggestion of what’s hidden in the garden with a small section of timber cladding positioned next to the side window before revealing the full extent of the works as you walk down the side of the property.

Internally, the property was fully redecorated with new floor finishes throughout to tie the new and old together and a new reconfigured stair up to the first floor extension and existing attic conversion.

Riverside House Residential Aros Mains, Isle of Mull Riverside House is a private dwelling located at the end of a row of traditional cottages, along a small inver with views across the Sound of Mull, and over to Morvern. The house is separated from the existing cottages by a large mature cherry tree. The design proposal is comprised of two parts. The road facing ‘white house’ is designed to fit in with the massing and form of the existing row of cottages; while the dark timber and metal clad element is designed to shadow this form and to visually recede into the slope at the back of the site. The two parts are linked by a dramatic hallway connecting the main living spaces with the view. The cross laminated timber structure helps to create a sculptural interior with dynamic views between internal spaces, across the landscape and out to sea.

Fabric first Passive House principles are adopted and the cross-laminated timber structure provides great levels of airtightness, and coupled with under-slab insulation, gives a continuous layer of insulation. This thermally robust construction means that the space heating requirement is minimal, despite the large areas of east facing glazing looking toward the view. The house is super insulated with Heating provided by a wood burning stove and electric panel heaters which work in conjunction with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery. Solar photovoltaic panels on the roof compensate for any residual energy need.

Broughty Ferry Residential Broughty Ferry The site is set within mature wooded grounds with views through the trees to the River Tay to the south and the Sidlaw hills to the north. Access is provided by a shared private driveway, which serves three other individually designed detached family homes.

The new house is located on the footprint of a previous house that was, unfortunately, destroyed by fire. The site is surrounded on all four sides by very tall mature trees, with the new house being centrally placed and. to the rear/north there is a large private area of garden ground that receives natural sunlight through the trees.

The design is a 1.5 storey rectangular house with car port and garage, which is a similar concept and space arrangement as the former house.

At ground floor level, the covered entrance leads into a light and airy main hall that separates the two wings of the house. To the west is a bedroom wing with two generous guest bedrooms separated by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The east wing comprises a family room off the hallway with large windows and patio doors to the front/south and a large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge space with connections to the family room, utility and garden.

A recess in the building at the rear allows for the creation of a covered external patio space, with roof glazing overhead to let this space be naturally lit and to flood light into the main internal spaces. The main garden space to the north is connected to the inside via large glazed windows to the dining/lounge space and patio doors, which open up this corner for direct access to the garden.

On the upper level there is a large open plan lounge and study/entertainment space in the west wing, a family bathroom, then the main master bedroom suite to the east that spans the full depth of the house and contains a large open master bedroom space with a south facing dormer window, low windows to the external glazed canopy overlooking the garden to the north, Velux rooflights, an en suite shower room and walk in wardrobe.

Externally the house is traditional in character and appearance with natural finishes to compliment the design: including a natural slate pitched roof and dormer window, stone cladding, white render and dark grey vertical lining.

A palette of Scottish larch, Angus drystone, natural slate and zinc will ensure that the dwelling ages gracefully and sits well in its beautiful setting.

Cabin on stilts at Kilconquhar Loch Residential Kilconquhar, Fife

ARCHITECT FIFE ARCHITECTS I CLIENT PRIVATE

Perched just a few meters away from the edge of Kilconquhar Loch, Fife, this small timber cabin is located at the bottom of a private garden and provides a peaceful place to relax and do a bit of bird watching. Kilconquhar Loch is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and home to a wide variety of wildlife. Completed in July 2017, the cabin sits on 16 short galvanised steel posts above marshy ground conditions, with floating steps up to the entrance door.

Our client was looking for a simple timber cabin design with a single room in order to quietly enjoy the unique location of the Loch and wished to reflect a bird-hide feel into the design. This concept worked well along with a building completely constructed from and entirely clad in timber. The timber roof extends over the cabin creating patterns of sunlight on the facade.

Untreated Siberian Larch cladding was used to clad the building inside and out including the roof. A cantilevered bench constructed from solid Larch posts appears to shoot through a huge frameless glass window, providing an outdoor seat above the small raised timber deck outside.

live:eat:cook Residential Coltbridge Terrace, Edinburgh The inventive, idiosyncratic buildings of Fredrick Thomas Pilkington have fascinated since I first started studying architecture more than 30 years ago. The opportunity to work on one was compelling.

Synthesizing the 3 dimensional, arts and craft quality of his 1869, B Listed terrace house to inform the design of the new addition to the rear was the challenge to create a modern living environment for our Master of Wine client.

Rather than mimic the visual motifs of the existing, we explored the richness of form and complexity of experience adding in the opportunities modern technology allows to gather natural light to enhance the new living/cooking/eating space.

The limited, subtle palette of materials references the existing house. From the front door we can now see through the entire depth of the house to the back garden. The eating space visually and physically combines with a landscaped courtyard which in turn filters up through landscaped terraces to the upper garden.

A triple glazed, 3m x 2m, raised, frameless glass rooflight collects the last of the evening sunlight bathing the eating space in golden light.

Situated within the busy village of Luss, the new development creates a sense of place and privacy via the new common courtyard, off of which each home is accessed. The courtyard is akin to traditional rural steadings, with front gardens open to the central courtyard, each with fruit trees and low level beech hedging bounding turfed gardens. The separation from the busy tourist village provides a safe amenity for children’s play, or for older residents to sit out and enjoy the southern aspect gardens.

The local primary school were involved in the naming of the new development – named Beinn Dubh View (Beinn Dubhchraig is the horseshoe ridge encircling Glen Striddle; eastern arm rises directly from the village).

Through consultation with the local authority, and community council it was apparent that there was a lack of 3 bedroom, family friendly properties in Luss – which was also negatively impacting the pupil numbers at the local school. The provision of wheelchair accessible accommodation was also lacking due to the nature and scale of the existing houses.

The new development has set a benchmark for high quality new housing, boosted the numbers of young families living in the area; and provided much needed accessible accommodation for an individual who otherwise may have had to leave Luss in order to find a suitable home.

Woodhall Drive Residential Edinburgh The vision for Woodhall Drive was to create contemporary and desirable family homes hallmarked by the quality of their design. Woodhall Drive has its own progressive character and is reflective of our design ethos and Glencairn’s vision for the development. It provided an exciting opportunity to create a unique and individual corner development.

When the client approached LBA the site had planning consent for three uninspiring dwellings. We advised our client that we could maximise their investment by redesigning the scheme to add a fourth property. Due to the quality of the design the local authority were extremely supportive of the new scheme and we quickly received planning consent.

The development is located on the site of a former disused single-storey pitched roof community hall in a prominent, gently sloping corner site of Juniper Green. Consisting of four, five-bedroom townhouses, each offers 1,800 sq. ft. accommodation comprising of an expansive open plan living, kitchen dining area with large areas of glazing opening onto the south facing garden. There is an open-tread stair leading to the master bedroom suite with en-suite shower room.

The first floor offers a multifunctional space with a large internal sliding door opening onto the first-floor landing and void to the floor below. Adaptable as a fifth bedroom or secondary living space it includes a south facing terrace with views to the Pentland Hills. On the second floor there are three spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The vertical strips of curtain wall glazing, to both front and rear elevations, visually separate each of the houses allowing natural light to penetrate the properties on all three floors. The overall form of each house is a ‘stepped block’, with the first and second floor volume offset and pushed-out to create a ‘floating’ overhang to the front elevation forming a semi-covered car parking area. The front building line of the adjacent houses has been maintained and is consistent with the existing pattern with parapet roofs incorporated to Woodhill Drive.

To the rear, the ground floor living area protrudes to create the first-floor roof terrace with frameless glass balustrades allowing uninterrupted views over the south-facing gardens. Detailing throughout is simple and crisp featuring high-quality, durable and timeless materials based on the subtle combination of dark bronze matt finished aluminium framed full-height glazing and handmade clay buffcoloured facing brickwork.

Garth Wood House is located on the boundary of forest and steep embankment, overlooking the confluence of the Rivers Lyon and Tay, in Highland Perthshire.

The pavilion style house has been designed with the living quarters to the upper storey and a large covered balcony to two sides, sitting above service accommodation at the ground floor, to maximise the site’s outstanding 1,000ft views. The central core is a library, to house the clients’ 10,000 books, with wide stair leading to the upper floors, from the entrance level.

It is a framed house, covered in blackened timber designed to set the house in the context of the larch and spruce forest behind. On approaching the house, the entrance way is highlighted to lead through from the undergrowth of the forest and out from the canopy of trees. The full height windows reach out over the surrounding dramatic scenery.

The result is a robust, ergonomic and sustainable design within influences from Nordic architecture of the clients’ heritage. It is realised with a mixture of larch, hazel screens and wood mizered from their own forest.

Heating is via a ground source heat pump and underfloor heating. The interior is constructed around simple shapes and clerestory windows flooding the interior with light. The wide, open tread staircase allows for the central library core to house double height floor to ceiling shelving and lead off to the kitchen, master bedroom and other living spaces and take in the multiple viewpoints surrounding the home.

The Old Printworks Residential Bernard Terrace, Edinburgh  Careful consideration of the building’s historical context was a key factor in determining the final configuration and massing of the project. The main five storey residential block of the building fronts onto Bernard Terrace with three lower level (2, 3 & 4 storey) ‘wings’ leading off the main building, each of which incorporates a green ‘living’ roof to not only assist with controlling water run-off and acoustics, but create a more tranquil and green environment.

The design unlocks the maximum potential of the site through its ‘fork’ like footprint which creates 2 private outdoor courtyard spaces, sensitively landscaped to echo the architectural blend of old and new. These quiet and sheltered south facing courtyard gardens with seating set in amongst brick landscape walls are ideal for the students to enjoy being outdoors. The planting is high quality and varied including traditional herbaceous hedging and shrubs combined with more exotic magnolias and Tibetan cherry trees.

The use of high quality materials throughout enhances the sense of placemaking, with natural stone distinguishing the tenemental block from the courtyard development to the rear, which is clad in brick and timber. These materials were specified to respect the context of the Southside Conservation Area and reflect its existing architectural language, while remaining contemporary. The windows, setbacks and facade articulation both reflect the rhythms of the surrounding tenements and create visual interest.

Internally the material finishes have been selected for their practical and hard wearing performance, in combination with modern a contemporary appearance. Storage has been carefully created for students’ belongings to provide maximum capacity whilst taking up minimal space. The cluster flats with ¾ beds are 13 sqm and the studios with double beds are a generous 22-25 sqm - compared to typical studios in the market at around 18 sqm.

The Old Printworks was delivered on time, on budget and was fully let at the time of its opening, before the start of the 2017/18 academic year. This is testament to the fact that The Old Printworks offers the facilities and services that meet students’ needs and helps to meet the huge demand for purpose-built, high-quality, student accommodation.

Hawkhead Centre Health Paisley The Hawkhead Centre is a new activity and support centre for the charity Scottish War Blinded, who provide free support to ex-service men and women who have lost their sight during or after military service.

Scottish War Blinded is a sister charity to Royal Blind, Scotland’s largest visual impairment organisation. The Hawkhead Centre has been delivered in tandem with a new Royal Blind 54-room care home on the same site. The Hawkhead Centre is Scottish War Blinded’s flagship facility on the west side of Scotland, building upon the success of their existing facility, the Linburn Centre, in the east.

The centre provides a wide range of facilities to aid the charity in their work, including a sports hall, gymnasium, art room, wood workshop, kitchen skills room, IT skills room and a large dining area which forms the social hub and heart of the building. A significant part of the centre is the connection between the inside of the building and the new sensory garden to which it opens out, complete with planting areas, pergola, potting shed and greenhouse, encircled by existing mature oak, larch, pine and maple trees.

The design of the centre is inspired by the placename ‘Hawkhead’, the area of Paisley in which it is situated. This led to the key design move of envisaging the roof of the centre like a sweeping wing which shelters all of the activity and people below. This roof, which is lined in timber, has five large triangular rooflights set within it which provide light and interest to the central dining and gathering area. Every key room in the building has a visual connection to this sweeping roof and to the central gathering area, engendering a feeling of community and connection to a wider whole, even when one is in a smaller, more focussed room.

Equine Diagnostic, Surgical & Critical Care Unit Health Edinburgh The design for the new Equine Diagnostic, Surgical and Critical Care Unit has a distinctive form, with the strong angular roofline creating a modern interpretation of a traditional barn.

The new building, through its striking external form and central location within the south section of the new campus masterplan, acts as a link between the agricultural Large Animal Campus and the more civic research facilities at the University of Edinburgh Easter Bush Campus.

The external palette of finishes is based on the use of traditional agricultural materials and includes profiled sheet metal cladding and timber panels. The split form of the roof reflects the separate internal organisation of the building: the smaller part houses a diagnostic unit whilst the larger element is the main surgical suite component. The two functions are connected by the central circulation zone that is a double-height space, which provides a main arrival area as well as a physical connection between the new facility and the other areas of the Equine Hospital.

Boroughmuir Education Edinburgh Boroughmuir High School was commissioned directly by the City of Edinburgh Council through an open competition. The design brief was to seek an inspirational and innovative design that would be an exemplar school in the city. The steeply sloping location was an exceptionally tight and complex urban brownfield site and this was in many ways the inspiration for the design.

The very significant constraints of a very tight sloping site meant that a design solution could not ‘spread out’ as many schools do but required a much more condensed, multi level integrated form. In accommodating so many disparate scaled spaces - sports halls, gyms etc to small rooms and teaching spaces the design had to embrace a much more complex internal spatial geometry.

We developed in the design ideas about social space as teaching space, inverting hierarchies, multi experienced spaces, spaces that never were (the much celebrated rooftop MUGA), connection to the community, integration with ‘place’, identity and civic pride, passive spaces, dynamic spaces, how light affected our experience of spaces and how it travelled through a building during the day.

We sought to make every sq m of space work harder to contribute more to the experience of the pupils and staff. We sought to bring to our design a spirit of innovation, creativity, educational ambition that we had seen on our visits to exemplar schools in Europe and also to challenge traditional pedagogical space and bring as much life, light and joy to the school as possible.

The organisation of spaces was designed to take advantage of the site levels - large volume spaces 1-2 social spaces, classrooms levels 3-5. This approach helped make this very large building feel like it was more intimate. Integrating and enhancing the large P.E. accommodation into one building means that the school can offer a much enhanced curriculum and significantly reduce busing of pupils to Meggetland for sports. Creating a rooftop games area was an innovative but effective response to the masterplan strategy for civic scale along Dundee street - gaining much needed space for free!

Concrete construction with exposed soffits allowed us to embed as much thermal energy as possible. We have used natural ventilated spaces where possible and have maximised the potential for natural light throughout the building. We believe that the design offers an exciting future for the school and an exemplar for others to follow.

The Faith Schools’ Joint Campus at Waterfoot Road, Newton Mearns is the first shared faith campus not only within Scotland but possibly within the whole of Europe. It brings together for the very first time two purpose built denominational primary schools with associated pre-5 nursery provision.

The denominational schools embrace the Catholic and Jewish religious faiths.

This is a unique proposition within Scotland creating a shared campus for two schools which respects and nurtures children and young people’s individual religious faiths and at the same time delivers inspiring spaces for learning, teaching, and social integration.

As part of this unique approach, we passionately believe that architecture and its environment both internally and externally can help stimulate, encourage and sustain religious, social and educational development.

In order to respect the individual pupil’s faith whilst supporting excellence in education we developed an innovative interactive shared hub at the heart of the new campus - strategically located between specific denominational zones. The creation of this heartspace or “agora” – is a meeting place encouraging interaction and engagement. It is a large flexible double height space under a dramatic circular roof providing a “halo” of soft natural light. The space contains a wealth of interactive activity including a small amphitheatre, restaurant, drama box, music practice, science lab, library, technology suite and art studio. It is ICT rich with full Wi-Fi coverage. The space offers fantastic choice from little “wall pocket” snugs for individual learners to the amphitheatre for large lectures. The amphitheatre forms the centrepiece of this heartspace. Natural light complimented by mood lighting have been carefully integrated along with a surprise “sky of tiny stars" created by fibre-optics concealed within the natural timber slatted ceiling .

Externally the building is clad in weathered zinc, glass, western red cedar and copper coloured aluminium portals. Outdoors the landscape works hard to provide diversity including a growing garden, nature trail, bouldering, climbing wall, active play equipment, synthetic and grass pitches, MUGA, covered outdoor teaching and learning spaces and a Sukkah (a small shelter for the annual Jewish festival of Sukkot). There is also a miniature representation of Alton Farm – an 18th Century farm which occupied the site.

Ayr Academy Education University Avenue, Ayr The new Ayr Academy sits within the mature parkland setting of the historic 18th Century Craigie Estate on the banks of the River Ayr. Craigie Estate is currently home to the West of Scotland University, Ayrshire College, Dam Park (track and field) and Craigie House, a magnificent Category “A” Listed Georgian mansion house.

The school has been carefully positioned within the woodland to reduce its visual impact whilst providing a dramatic natural foil of mature deciduous and coniferous trees.

The siting of the school assists in reinforcing the ‘Garden Room’ named Craigie Lawn in front of Craigie House as well as allowing the important historic diagonal approach through established woodland from the north east to be reintroduced. Access to the school is via this small woodland framing a large welcoming entrance, incorporating reception, café and exhibition space.

The schools’ ‘pavilion’ type massing reflects the other set piece buildings within the Estate.

The articulation of the massing expresses clearly the primary used of teaching wing, community facility and administration.

The three storey learning and teaching element of the school contains a mixture of cellular and open learning spaces wrapped round a large central atrium containing a range of catering, library, ICT suite and performance spaces. The design was to be informed by and developed the Pilot Schools Project which has created exciting new teaching and learning environments which are flexible and affordable. The central space is in part inspired by the pupils desire to recreate the spirit of the central hall within the original Victorian Ayr Academy.

The west gable of the atrium is articulated with large openings, with access out on to a tiered dining terrace for pupils and staff, helping to reinforce the refocusing of the parkland estate and Craigie House. The sports hub to the east, situated close to the outdoor facilities is available to the community outwith core curriculum time.

The building is wrapped in patinated copper coloured cladding with the base clad in stone.

These materials, colours and textures are sympathetic to the historic parkland setting adjacent to Craigie House.

Internally the timber clad library skillfully defines various uses within the atrium, providing acoustic attenuation measures and securing with transparency the contents of the library

Waid Community Campus Education St Andrews Road, Anstruther In the beginning there was no brief, only a willingness on the part of Fife Council to produce something entirely different. The idea was not to simply provide a replacement school for the ageing Waid Academy, but to be bold and create something far more diverse, welcoming and beneficial for the entire community and at any time of the day.

It was to be a hub for Anstruther.

The Waid is situated on the cusp of the coastal town of Anstruther and its rural hinterland taking its reference from both. The largest structures which feature within the landscape are agricultural barns. The Waid, three storeys high reflects this large architectural form with its massing, materials and colour selection wholly in keeping with the vernacular of the East Neuk…it’s a Learning Barn.

Contextually The Waid has established itself as a sense of place adjacent to the local primary school and the sports centre thereby forming an educational triangle around a pedestrian friendly “village green” at the heart of the site. The Waid Community Campus not only contains a school but also the town hall, local library, community café, adult education space, enterprise kitchen, conference facility, police office and project space all clustered around the central atrium. The interior concept is inspired by Anstruther harbour where a large protective seawall wraps itself around a series of dynamic elements.

Marr College Education Dundonald Rd, Troon The development at Marr College comprises the new purpose built technical wing extension and sports/community building constructed immediately adjacent to rear of the newly refurbished existing ‘B’ listed school.

The proposals aimed to refocus the campus towards the main building with the removal of the inefficient ‘Strathclyde’ building and enhancing pedestrian experience with new routes and reopened original vistas. The clients brief called for retention, adaption and modernisation of the historic main building for future use. Fundamental to this was new efficient/sustainable services within an enhanced fabric.

To allow the school to have appropriate current technical facilities it was identified that the new extension would house the majority of these service heavy equipment spaces. This allows the internal alterations to the main building and its listed interiors to be kept to a minimum. This design approach helped de-clutter the interior of the existing building and simplify the spaces both functionally and aesthetically, reducing servicing and maintenance.

Existing unused courtyards have been brought back into use with ETFE roofs creating heated spaces, reducing the external envelope and consequent heat loss. Teaching spaces are located at various levels activating previous flat roofs for independent student learning.

The three storey building incorporates administration, technical classrooms, kitchens, energy centre and other support services. To minimise the impact on the highly formal classical stone rear façade of listed building we adopted a light touch interface. This took the form of a link atrium, connecting the existing building to the new technical block with delicate bridge structures utilising the existing stone openings, which seamlessly linked the existing circulation with that of the new Technical Block. Between the classroom accommodation and the original building we have created a new atrium space which contains the main entrance, library, reception and central dining facilities for the school.

All indoor sports facilities will be incorporated in a new single storey sports block which will be strategically located on site to the south of the original building and close to the existing footpath link to the outdoor sports pitches at the Marr Community Sports Hub.

ARCHITECT AMDERSON BELL CHRISTIE I CLIENT EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL I STRUCTURAL ENGINEER CLANCY CONSULTING I MAIN CONTRACTOR ASHLEIGH

Muirkirk Primary School provides a bright, modern and well-designed environment for a growing school population. The new building incorporates an Early Childhood Centre to accommodate the near doubling of Early Learning and Childcare entitlement in Scotland from 2020 and dedicated spaces for community use and shared sports and event facilities.

The design of the building was undertaken primarily by East Ayrshire Council’s in-house architect’s department and was then developed by Anderson Bell Christie architects working as consultants to Ashleigh (Scotland) ltd, the design and build contractors. This design is based on Scotland’s Schools for the Future’s exemplar project at Lairdsland Primary School in Kirkintilloch, adapted to suit the much smaller roll at Muirkirk and to take advantage of the particular topography of the site and the dramatic views across to Cairn Table to the south.

It features a bank of classrooms to the south façade benefiting from access to a shared covered external balcony and access to a top-lit central breakout space. Services, community rooms and offices stretch along the north side of the breakout space and the building is anchored by the larger volumes of the hall and the Early Childhood Centre at either end of the central space.

St Fergus Education Paisley, Renfrewshire The new St Fergus' Primary School resides on the corner of Blackstoun and Bankfoot Road in Ferguslie Park less than a hundred metres from the old school building.

The main ethos behind the design was to provide a flexible and adaptable learning environment to cater for change in the school role from year to year. Taking recognition of this, formal teaching ‘class rooms’ have been designed in an open plan arrangement organised into three groupings, early level, 1st level and 2nd level, with loose furniture dividing the spaces.

The plan arrangement is designed to flow from informal learning, to formal learning and then onto covered external learning. The informal learning zone, which runs as a spine through the building acts as an extension to the formal learning environment, giving all classrooms access to learning 'pods' and booths for smaller pupil groups. A bespoke library area resides within the heart of the school contributing to the wide variety of learning and teaching accommodation available within the building.

With natural daylight and ventilation a key priority, curtain walling and windows to the external envelope are supplemented with strategically placed rooflights. The central core is top lit with clerestory glazing allowing south light to flood down into this space. A contrast in volume between both the formal teaching classrooms and the informal learning helps to distinguish the two very different environments.

The landscaping has been zoned to ensure that the pupil playground has prime location.

These areas have been orientated to the South and West of the site with the all weather pitch positioned to the North. The zoning of the pupil playground has been carefully considered and it offers the pupils numerous play and learning opportunities. A dedicated drop off facility has been provided within the curtilage of the site to avoid on street parking and reduce congestion along Bankfoot and Blackstoun Road.

Pupil involvement in their new school was encouraged. They were tasked with choosing the new playground equipment and a competition was also held within the school to design the new stained glass window which takes pride of place within the reception.

The external material palette of facing brick, precast concrete cladding panels and zinc coloured rainscreen were chosen to reinforce the civic nature of the building.

Sgoil Uibhist a Tuath is a modern beacon of learning for the community of North Uist. The significance of this school to the immediate and wider community cannot be over-stated.

The inclusion of a nursery ensures that children from the age of 2 – 11.

The rural location of the primary school places it acutely at an edge condition in the landscape, which impacted profoundly on how the “heart” space, sheltered entrance, external spaces and visual connectivity was to be arranged. An honest and rigorous approach to the detailing was aided the delivery of the project.

It was not until a visit to Benbecula, on a study trip, and an encounter with Nunton Steadings that the concept, which became the final form, began to crystallise. Nunton is a neat, ‘U’-shaped, single-storey, pitchedroofed building with the open end of the ‘U’ sheltered by a free-standing masonry wall.

The compact sheltering nature of the Nunton model convinced the architects that the sheltered entry court could be combined with wholly enclosed internal court while locating the entrance, dining/communal space and gym – the central facilities – at the fulcrum between the two.

The form of the building now took on the appearance of a rectangular ‘A’ with the central facilities on the middle crosspiece facing both the entrance court and sheltering wall and the internal court, the classrooms facing outward and the corridors inward to the court on either leg, connecting the crosspieces and the ancillary accommodation and nursery on the projecting arms either side of the entrance court.

Sheltered external space was created from the outdoor activity spaces associated directly with the internal activity spaces shared between adjoining classrooms and other external spaces arising from accommodating varying room sizes and all located beneath the continuous mono-pitch standing seam roof.

Wind tunnel testing of a scale model at HeriotWatt University proved its viability.

The landscaping approach married closely with the architectural concept; working with the site contours to create a dynamic, useful, fun and challenging solution to external play.

Tunnels, grass mounds and sand are employed to ensure that pupils enjoy the experience of creating games and using the areas in a way driven by their imagination.

Little Glen and the Den Education Auchterarder, Perthshire 3DReid is working with Gleneagles and Ennismore on a phased refurbishment of Gleneagles in Auchterarder, Perthshire. Little Glen and The Den involved the re-imagining of their facilities for younger members and guests of Gleneagles with two unique spaces for distinct age groups.

The first space, known as ‘The Den’ is an unsupervised facility for young people aged from 6 to 15 years old, filled with play resources and designed as a hangout and recreation space. The conversion of existing meeting rooms transformed this space into a state-of-the-art leisure space featuring interactive floors, a cinema room and a mix of traditional games and electronic gaming consoles.

The second space, known as ‘Little Glen’ is a fully supervised crèche for children aged from 2 to 9 years old, intended as a safe, fun and stimulating play environment. This was created by constructing a new steel framed, single storey extension, within a formerly underutilised garden to the north of a modern extension of the Hotel.

3DReid considered the site particularly suited for redevelopment as a children’s facility due to its secluded location on the estate and its connection and proximity to the existing leisure and spa offer. The grounds to the north and west feature a steeply embanked area of shrubbery with mature trees that affords a great deal privacy adding to the sense of protection.

The building to which the new extension is linked has three storeys of bedrooms above ground, each with a balcony overlooking the site. A key consideration of the design from the outset was the potential visual impact to the guests staying in these rooms.

3DReid proposed a green roof as a means of both softening the visual impact and of compensating for the impact of the loss of the garden space to local wildlife.

The solution was a single ply membrane topped in a bio diverse selection of Scottish wildflowers.

Whilst the site benefits from the seclusion and protection offered by the existing surroundings it was obvious that this could also result in overshadowing. 3DReid therefore proposed large sculpted skylights in each of the two key play spaces. These puncture the green roof and flood the interiors with daylight whilst adding to the playful form of the spaces at ceiling level.

The building sits within the existing school grounds of Corstorphine Primary School, Edinburgh. The building accommodates 50no. 3-5 year olds in a single playroom with free flow access to an external classroom below a canopy. The canopy then opens out onto a creative play space which maximises the limited space available. The building also features a staff room, multi-purpose room, cloaks, kitchen, storage and WCs. Space was at a premium on the site, however the new facility was built whilst keeping all areas of the existing primary and nursery schools in use. The creative use of space was a key feature in achieving approval from the Care Inspectorate.

Anderson Bell Christie also provided Community Benefits to the school during construction. A number of classes were given the opportunity to hear from the designers and a laser cut model, in the form of a 3D jigsaw of the building, was gifted to the school.

Dalbeattie Learning Campus Education Dalbeattie Dalbeattie Learning Campus is an exciting and innovative project, that seeks to provide a range of educational and community benefits under a single roof. Comprising a new nursery, primary and secondary school with associated parking, landscaping and infrastructure, the project will create a major new public building to the periphery of the town of Dalbeattie.

Whilst the overriding principals of the project aim to provide state of the art facilities for delivery of curriculum for excellence, the bringing together of all the educational requirements for the town under one roof, creates a number of synergies between building functions. Early integration of nursery children with early years primary classes ensures a smooth and manageable transition into the education system, whilst opportunities to engage with subjects such as technology and science within the secondary school by primary class groups brings greater depth to the delivery of primary curriculum.

From a secondary perspective, the building arrangement has the opportunity to allow the educational journey from nursery to senior school to be seen, emphasising the progression students make in preparing for college / university / apprenticeships and their careers.

The creation of a new public building within Dalbeattie, also allows the opportunity for the local community to engage and become involved within the new facility, and it is anticipated that main halls, teaching spaces and sports facilities will be available for community groups, clubs and organisations, allowing the space to be used far beyond the 9 - 4 school day.

Stallan-Brand was appointed as part of the SLC Framework Agreement to design and deliver a new building for Halfmerke Primary School, 40/40 Nursery and West Mains School in East Kilbride. Halfmerke Primary School is a mainstream primary school and is integrated with West Mains School, serving Additional Support Needs pupils. The school has a number of specialised activity spaces due to specific pupil requirements such as sensory learning, soft play room, chill out space and a number of therapy spaces.

The new school is a tandem build on the playground and playing fields of the existing school. The existing school was in a state of disrepair and the accommodation was unsuitable for the curriculum and specific needs of the pupils where integration was simply not possible.

The school design is 4097m2, 15 classrooms in total, 8 of which are specifically for Halfmerke and 7 classrooms for West Mains.

The school ethos, although run and managed separately, are spatially and technically fully integrated creating a vibrant and cohesive learning experience.

The building’s open plan shared areas Library, ICT & General Purpose Areas - are brought together in the heart of the school and are open to circulation spaces where they benefit from natural light and ventilation. This allows several spaces to be supervised by teachers either directly or passively, creates a sense of generous space, allows views through the building and communication and connection between spaces.

Langlee Primary School Education Galashiels Stallan-Brand were appointed by Scottish Borders Council to design and deliver a new building for Langlee Primary in Langlee, Galashiels. The new school is a tandem build on the playground adjacent to the existing school.

The design solution for the 4,035 m², 18 classroom (14 standard and 4 ASN) was the creation of a simple linear building, smaller than the existing building, allowing more space for landscaping and playground areas.

The new building seeks to strike a balance between providing a clear focal point in the community andresponding to the scale of the steep slope to the north of the site and the elevated housing.

The composition of the north facing elevation is intended to intrigue and engage with both the pupils and the local community.

The bronzed cladding of the elevation provides a unique sculptural identity to the school while reinforcing the concept of a building within a generous landscape setting.

Locating the building in the middle of the site allows the spaces around the school to become more defined, reduce the effects of overshadowing from the surrounding trees, benefiting from increased sunlight creating a safe approach for pedestrians.

A key consideration in the design is providing generous and attractive south facing playground areas which are directly accessible from the ground floor classrooms.

A rich landscape proposal was developed, enhancing existing features of the site and its environment, developing new educational resources by providing external teaching areas and a progressive learning environment.

Kirn Primary School Education Dunoon Kirn Primary School is in the heart of Kirn, located north of Dunoon and on the site of the former Kirn Primary. The previous building comprised of an 1881 schoolhouse and various 1950s additions that had reached the end of their serviceable lives. The site is surrounded on three sides to the north, east and south by two storey residential dwellings, whereas from the west the site benefits from the open grounds of Dunoon Stadium and the views beyond to the beautiful Cowal peninsula hills.

The school caters for 320 pupils and 30 early years place for three and four year olds.

The existing site falls approximately eight metres from the 1881 building entrance level on Park Road to the west of the site where it borders the parkland and Dunoon Stadium.

This presented a great opportunity to utilise level changes within the section to sensitively inform the massing of the building relative to the existing block and the surrounding residential properties. While the 1950s additions were removed, the 1881 block was retained and refurbished, creating a strong link with the history of the site.

The new development provides level access from Park Road at the main entrance level and to external play areas at the low level. By manipulating the site levels and building position, the new school offers not only level access but significantly larger play areas, improving the connection between the original building, the play spaces and how they relate to the existing levels of the site.

The design of the new school has a simple concept diagram that defines the main elements of the proposal – the existing building, new teaching block and sports block. The teaching block incorporates an atrium which features teaching stairs and single sided stacked classrooms. The central atrium contains breakout and social spaces acting as the heart of the new school. The open stairs serve as a place of gathering and social interaction whilst also providing seating for informal and formal teaching as well being the main circulation between the two storeys.

Simple moves to address the existing context have been made to align new elements of the new building with the existing building to create a formality and sense of identity with the creation of the new entrance plaza and courtyard. By stacking the classrooms on the west side, all classrooms benefit from views to the external play area and picturesque hills beyond.

The £35m William McIlvanney Community Campus in Kilmarnock, Phase 1 of which has just completed, represents an increasingly popular model in school design, where nursery, primary, secondary, specialist teaching accommodation and often extensive community facilities are all be brought together within one large, inclusive environment.

In this case the above facilities are supplemented by specialist Gaelic teaching provision, all housed within a bold collegiate expression. In educational briefing terms, this project represents a blend of the innovative with the more “traditional”. Cellular spaces are grouped around the perimeter of each part of the plan, and placed around larger scale, more flexible spaces within. In this case, the primary school component in particular is more semi-open plan within the context of a deep plan building punctuated by courtyards and rooflights to deliver natural light.

Architecturally, the project is composed of a dignified series of 3 interconnected buildings all contained within an external aesthetic which is restrained and elegant, combining a strong sense of permanence with a controlled, open transparency revealing an interesting spatial interior punctuated by colour and light.

Deep reveals provide environmental control and sinuous curves identify entrances, whilst external courtyards and carefully positioned rooflights ensure that all parts of the building enjoy the benefits of natural light.

In scale terms the secondary school is taller, and the primary and nursery areas lower with effective planning encouraging a myriad of educational connections.

The design is based on a brief prepared by SPACE Strategies, with strategic input from NORR and East Ayrshire Council and delivers a rich learning environment which is less than the required SFT target. This is true value.

Anderson High School and Halls of Residence Education Lerwick Good architecture is about place understanding it, responding to it, making it, inhabiting it. Achieving this requires sensitivity, engagement and empathy, a key challenge when Ryder were commissioned to develop designs for a replacement 1,200 pupil high school and 100 bed halls of residence in Lerwick.

With a population of only 23,000 across 100 islands, the proportional visual and cultural impact of two large public buildings becomes highly significant, a particular challenge when the school model is based on the four storey superblock exemplar model championed by the Scottish Futures Trust.

This exemplar is based on the idea of the superblock, a multi storey ring of teaching and support spaces arranged around a series of internal atria which function as spaces for dining, assembly, performance and informal teaching. The compact footprint and use of each space throughout the day helps drive significant efficiencies into the design, as well as creating good quality teaching spaces maximising natural light and ventilation.

To combat this, we drew inspiration from the local vernacular, creating a language of simple agricultural forms to break down the mass of the buildings, reading as two simple structures placed either side of a central communal space, while responding to the challenge of the Shetland climate by incorporating traditional roof forms and detailing. Siting the buildings against the large mass of the hills addresses issues of scale.

The buildings become subservient in size to the high, ancient landscape which forms the backdrop to the site.

Allowing the lower levels of both buildings to merge into the hillside itself, with the linear halls block following the line of the contours, roots them firmly in place - echoing the character of the surrounding broch and burial cairns which appear to grow as natural extrusions from the land. This also defines our approach to landscape and boundaries, blurring the edges between new and existing, man made and natural, letting the local flora reclaim land areas over time. The surface of the buildings are expressed as two primary materials - the lower levels appear to merge with the slopes of the hillside, clad in simple split face blockwork, while above, a richly textured untreated timber façade weathers to silver grey over time, creating harmony with the natural tones of the moorland backdrop.

North Ayrshire Council’s new £37million Garnock Community Campus, designed by jmarchitects and delivered by Kier Construction for Hub South West, provides a community building with a school at its heart, and a new environment for learning for 1200 secondary school pupils, 260 primary school pupils, a 45 pupil nursery, as well as community facilities including a fitness suite, 25m pool and training pool. The campus was officially opened in June.

Through a simple material palette of softtoned, sensitively-detailed, highly textural brickwork, and large-format precast concrete elements, coupled with its low-lying massing, the building takes on a clean, robust and linear aesthetic. This respectfully merges with the landscape and its surroundings whilst maximising natural light, ventilation and views to the landscape from inside the building.

A key concept and requirement of the brief was for ‘a community building with a school at its heart’ in which it is possible to ‘see learning happening’ throughout the building.

Active functions of the building such as dining, community café, auditorium, library, pool and project spaces are clustered at the heart of the building. This allows operation far beyond traditional school times, creating a dynamic core of activity for the whole community during the day and evening, seven days a week.

Within the same envelope, and fundamentally within the existing planning consent 'footprint', a 228 bed Hampton by Hilton hotel was achieved.

The site lies on a key arterial route at the intersection of Foutainbridge and Melvin Walk and is within short walking distance of key transport interchange Haymarket station.

The hotel forms part of the wider regeneration of the former light industrial area of Fountainbridge and provides onsite meeting facilities, a fitness suite and a standalone café/ restaurant unit.

Scottish Power HQ Commercial Glasgow ScottishPower Ltd selected a highly prominent location in the heart of Glasgow, to relocate around 1,900 staff from a series of locations.

This new setting provides a new, impressive headquarters building for ScottishPower, marking an important entrance to the city centre, whilst sensitively acknowledging the varying scales of the neighbouring buildings.

The fourteen-storey building, designed to allow for multiple occupations, occupies the site to its maximum capacity and provides the most efficient plan form possible whilst maximising the potential for future flexibility.

A simple diagram of two linear east/west office blocks of different floorplate heights was devised, with a top-lit glazed atrium access and service cores arranged between them.

The solution results in a highly efficient office floorplate, uninterrupted through careful integration of structure and services into the facade and the cores. The expression of services and structure in the facade is reinforced by their solid quality, creating vertical piers that drop to the ground. A double-height arcade is formed, providing an elegant interface with the street and a good setting for the entrance to the building as well as a sheltered approach for staff and pedestrians.

The building achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating.

132 Princes Street Commercial Edinburgh The project concerns the conversion and extension of the vacant upper levels of three of the few remaining original townhouses on Edinburgh’s Princes Street, for office use.

The properties have a rich history, variously used as Victorian tearooms, a cinema and a record store, traces of which are still present within the built fabric.

Reconciling a previously ad hoc arrangement of vertical access and escape provision, the scheme includes a contemporary addition of a new primary stair core, serving all levels, coupled with an expansion of the floorplates to the uppermost levels.

This shell and core scheme has sought a ‘de-furb’ aesthetic, with remaining original features of the building exposed, preserved and enhanced, through feature lighting. A complementary industrial language has been established in the look and feel of the new extension and building services, creating a holistic aesthetic throughout.

The scheme introduces a more intensive use of currently vacant upper floorspace, whilst understanding the importance of the context and historic spatial character of the block, thereby forming a precedent for other such accommodation that exists elsewhere on Princes Street.

The contemporary extension to the rear respects the historic grain of the city centre, whilst avoiding pastiche, carefully maintaining the privacy and access to daylight of the surrounding residential properties, whose amenity space it abuts.

Located on Charlotte Square in the heart of the New Town, The Principal Edinburgh Charlotte Square is a Grade ‘A’ listed building comprising 198 bed hotel, BABA Bar & Mezze Grill, The Garden Bar, spa and function facilities occupying 7 Georgian townhouses designed by architect Robert Adam in 1791. A modern extension incorporating 114 bedrooms, spa and function suite was added to the rear in 1999, wrapped around an open central courtyard.

3DReid, alongside London based interior designer’s Goddard Littlefair, were commissioned to carry out a full internal refurbishment. The objective was to redefine the building both commercially and historically, whilst remaining live throughout the 2 year construction programme. The grand George Street and Charlotte Square facing bedrooms were stripped of intervention and refurbished using a sensitive palette of heritage colours and luxurious finishes that complement the existing architecture of the rooms.

The addition of a glazed roof over an underused external courtyard, situated at the heart of the plan, not only enhanced the guest experience, but also created an enchanting, green oasis in the form of destination cocktail bar, ‘The Garden’, and provided the Hotel with a unique USP within Edinburgh’s city centre.

The Garden has been softened by the use of natural timber finishes, lots of greenery and festoon lighting.

The 3 public lounges act as individual spaces; The Map Room is characterised by an artwork collection of framed map and vintage travel posters, whilst the bookshelves in the Library and Salon next door are filled with books and objects from around the world and have an eclectic mix of furniture and Afghan rugs, helping to set the narrative for the Levantine inspired restaurant.

Gleneagles Commercial Auchterarder, Perthshire The refurbishment, alteration and extension of Gleneagles; a five-star luxury hotel, including the original Category B Listed building which opened in 1924 and associated buildings throughout the 850-acre Gleneagles estate.

Over the course of 24 months, Gleneagles has seen the launch of multiple new public spaces – three bars, two restaurants, a café, an afternoon tea room, two children’s adventure spaces, a salon – the redesign of the lobby and many of the main corridors, as well as 122 guestrooms and suites.

The most significant intervention was the transformation of underutilised back of house space at the heart of the hotel. This saw the reinstatement of “The American Bar” – that had been closed in the 1990s to make room for storage and office space. The ambition of this particular project was to revive an iconic part of the hotel’s early history - creating a glamorous and intimate new cocktail bar for guests to experience.

A new brasserie, The Birnam has been introduced with the extension of an existing restaurant to form a winter garden with glazed roof, living wall and operable rooflights.

Connections externally have been enhanced in the new Garden Café with removal of level changes and new external terrace.

Existing beauty facilities have relocated to the North Lodge to form the new Bob & Cloche Salon and the facilities for children improved with a new purpose made teen area and modern crèche extension; Little Glen and The Den for younger visitors.

The Standout of the project would be the refurbishment of the existing guest rooms and suites throughout Gleneagles, with the implementation of new interior schemes and coordination of substantial mechanical and electrical upgrades.

The project involved the creation of a 4-star, 240 bedroom Courtyard by Marriott hotel at Baxter’s Place within the prestigious Edinburgh city centre World Heritage Site.

Three existing A-listed Georgian townhouses was refurbished to incorporate all public functions including bar, restaurant, meeting rooms, private dining and gym and bespoke guestrooms.

A new 200 bed contemporary extension was built to the rear which addresses Calton Hill. This tight, constrained site is bounded by a road to two sides and an adjoining property to the other. Georgian and contemporary styles are linked via a purposefully set back glass walkway.

A methodical approach to the room offering is adopted; highest offering suites are situated in the Georgian building, retaining existing period features, counter to the new build extension, containing simply planned Marriot standard rooms. This approach presented a clear product to the operator and informed their pricing structure.

Added value is brought to the project through rigorous detailing and the adoption of a restrained material palette. This approach ensured timescales for planning approval and the construction period were reduced as far as practicable.

3DReid worked with developers Chris Stewart Group along with Marriot as the operator to successfully realise the scheme.

Greenside Commercial Edinburgh Through an extensive number of small yet meaningful interventions, this project has reimagined a tired 1980s office building into a contemporary multi-let environment.

Situated adjacent to the beautiful Playfair terrace and on the slope of Calton Hill, Greenside posed a series of topographical challenges that were overcome with a number of intelligent design interventions. The ‘new’ building offers occupiers customised design options, including an industrial ‘defurbished’ specification celebrating the best asset of the existing building; the original materials.

The interior has been fully stripped back, an entirely new M&E system has been installed and an additional 13% NIA has been added, largely within the existing envelope. The final design solution has significantly increased the natural light as well as maximising the views with the introduction of clever glazing solutions. The enlarged reception adds prominence and visibility to the street-level approach, whilst also creating a communal external terrace.

The existing exterior palette is surprisingly rich, with lead, stone, concrete and glazing elements, and has been enhanced with the introduction of locally sourced charred douglas fir. These additions carry seamlessly through to the elegant and striking new reception space. The interior shell of elevated ceilings and concrete ‘waffle’ slab have been exposed. The detail of the redevelopment and the renaming of the building - Greenside - is a celebration of its unique hillside setting in a hidden green oasis in the centre of Edinburgh.

The Macallan Distillery and Visitor Experience is set into the landscape of the estate that has been responsible for creating the single malt whisky since 1824.

The Macallan is already established as one of the most famous whisky makers in the world and wanted a new brand home that could reveal the production processes and welcome visitors while remaining sensitive to the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners’ building provides a facility capable of increased production and also allows for easy expansion in years to come. Internally, a series of production cells are arranged in a linear format with an open-plan layout revealing all stages of the process at once.

These cells are reflected above the building in the form of a gently undulating roof, formed by a timber gridshell. Grass-covered peaks rise and fall from The Macallan estate grounds, signalling to approaching visitors the activities Set into the naturally sloping contours of the site, the design makes direct references to ancient Scottish earthworks.

Easter Elchies House, the Macallan spiritual home – an original 18th century Highland manor house – must remain the primary focus of the estate and so the main access to the new Visitor Experience begins near this building. The estate is as important to The Macallan as the buildings that make up the distillery and so a subtle manipulation of the terrain is used to reveal the built form and control views without appearing forced or overtly grand. The great 18th century garden designers knew the importance of flow and movement in a large landscape; that parks should be experienced on a meandering journey. The new distillery project celebrates the whisky-making process as well as the landscape that has inspired it.

Parkhead School Historic Glasgow We were appointed by Glasgow Building Preservation Trust to transform Parkhead School into a community enterprise centre with public and office space for Parkhead Housing Association.

Built in 1878 and later extended to the west in 1887 the Category B-listed Glasgow School Board building was designed by Hugh McClure. The school closed in 1963 and became a resource centre for Glasgow City Council until the 1990s. It was empty for over 15 years and listed on the Buildings At Risk register. The building had suffered from water ingress, dry rot and structural failure and part of the roof had collapsed. The bell tower has been restored using documentary evidence, allowing the building to reassume its position as a local landmark.

We produced a conservation statement to identify the building's development and historical significance and used this to inform our design proposals. Later unsympathetic alterations were removed to return the spaces to their original configurations. This resulted in attractive dual aspect office spaces with an abundance of natural light. A sensitive new glazed extension was provided between the buildings to contain visitor reception and a passenger lift gives access to the upper levels via a bridge link spanning between former window openings.

The ÂŁ4.1m restoration was funded by the Parkhead Cross THI, Glasgow City Council, the Scottish Government, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic Environment Scotland, William Grant Foundation, and The Hugh Fraser Foundation. The building sits in the Parkhead Cross Conservation Area and the project was carried out as part of the Townscape Heritage Initiative. Its restoration has provided a catalyst for further regeneration in Parkhead.

The Engine Shed Historic Forthside, Stirling

ARCHITECT REIACH & HALL I CLIENT HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND I PHOTOGRAPHY ROB MCDOUGALL

The Engine Shed in Stirling is Scotland’s building conservation centre, created and managed by HES to promote engagement with traditional buildings and educate people about the skills and materials required to build, conserve and maintain them. Housed in a redundant MOD Engine Shed with new wings, the project has created a new sustainable building showcasing traditional craft and natural materials, with the aim of shifting the view of conservation and heritage from being something of the past, to something engaging, interesting, contemporary and fun.

Opened in July 2017, the Engine Shed’s objective was to create a new and dynamic centre, combining both a visitor attraction and a space for learning and engagement with the built heritage. We have created a multiuse building where visitors, school groups and building professionals mix on a daily basis with a programme of activities offering something for everyone. The brief was for a mix of technology, sustainability and tradition, to create a building showcasing the use of natural materials and traditional crafts, and bringing together HES Science, Digital Scanning and Outreach & Education teams.

Most of the setting of the Engine Shed is now lost with the removal of extensions, rails, surrounding buildings and the general paraphernalia of the railway system, leaving the shed somewhat exposed and lacking in context. Forthside is now zoned as an important regeneration area within the Stirling Masterplan and City Deal proposals. It is hoped that in time, the ongoing development will provide the Forthside square and Engine Shed with a more fitting context and urban setting.

Although the Shed had no statutory protection it was HES’s intention to ‘practice what we preach’ in terms of good conservation practice for the original building, and to look for innovative use of traditional materials and new technology to demonstrate the potential of adapting an historic building for new use.

The ethos of railway and industrial buildings was taken as the starting point for the design, with the intention to keep the original shed as a single volume putting reception areas, offices, work spaces and ancillary accommodation into new wings.

Our visitor target for the opening year was 10,000, which was achieved just four months after opening. We work closely with the local community, neighbouring businesses and Stirling Council to create links and work together to support the economic regeneration of the Forthside area of Stirling.

The Picture House, a Category A building, was established in 1913 and is the oldest purpose-built cinema in Scotland still showing films. The unique interior will be refurbished to bring it up to the standards expected by a modern cinemagoing audience, whilst respecting the historic building in which it is housed. Enhanced front-of-house facilities will be provided together with a second cinema auditorium.

Burrell Foley Fischer worked with the cinema's owners and operators on an initial scheme design that contributed to a successful first stage bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Following a competitive process, BFF were appointed to lead the design work for the refurbishment project. Through long association with many independent cinemas throughout the UK, BFF are very aware of the importance of these venues to their local communities and is delighted to be able to contribute to the future of such an historically significant and much loved cinema.

ARCHITECT EMA I CLIENT KELVIN PROPERTIES

The Atrium is a new residential development within the walls of the listed Broomhill Public School in Glasgow's West End. The original building dates back to 1902 and has been elegantly restored and converted into 33 luxury apartments.

The existing building was no longer used

by Anniesland College and had fallen into disrepair with fire and water damage resulting in the loss of the existing roof. The roof was however replaced with a new contemporary zinc rooftop extension incorporating 4 penthouses and the restoration of the existing atrium which has become the main feature of the re-development. All apartments are accessed from the new atrium and gallery with the original balustrades carefully restored. The atrium space has become a common space for all of the new residents to utilise and enjoy.

Externally the proposals involved the repair of the existing stone facade and the replacement of the existing aluminium windows fitted by the college with more appropriate high quality timber alternative. The retention of most of the existing surrounding woodland helps to screen the new flats from the busy expressway and provides a sense of enclosure to the new residential environment.

The existing stone boundary walls and railings have also been retained.

All properties are now sold and the developer, Kelvin Properties, is now in the process of converting the old hub building into 2 duplex houses. The re-development also includes a further 33 apartments within a new contemporary building on the corner of the site on Broomhill Avenue. These apartments will be completed early in 2019.

Kirkintilloch Town Hall Historic Union Street, Kirkintilloch Kirkintilloch Town Hall was opened in 1906 as a community hall, providing a valuable local asset. Sadly, due to a lack of funding and the steady decline of the wider town centre, the building was closed in 2004.

East Dunbartonshire Council proposed to restore the Grade ‘B’ listed building as a Community Arts and Heritage Centre, and in 2015 MLA were appointed by hub West Scotland to develop proposals to refurbish, restore and extend the town hall in order to meet a number of new requirements.

The overall design sought to create a juxtaposition between new and old through the integration of a new extension which provides more flexible space for community uses. The extension adopts architectural features in response to existing architectural datums of the existing building - picking up on these datums and with subtle use of colour, a coherent visual composition is created.

Working closely with Historic Environment Scotland, the conservation and restoration of the external sandstone was undertaken.

Internally the original plaster ceiling was rigorously recorded prior to its removal and was completely restored achieving a breathtaking space. In addition to the ceiling restoration the listed stained glass entrance screen was carefully removed and fully restored to provide a clear connection to the building’s past.

Kirkmichael in the Black Isle and part of the graveyard are listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the building is also Category B listed. The original medieval ecclesiastical building ceased to be used for worship in the 18th century after which its condition deteriorated and in recent times had fallen into significant disrepair.

The local community were so concerned about the state of the buildings that a Trust was formed in 2002 and a programme of fundraising was started to salvage the buildings, including two large mausolea in the graveyard, and create a heritage display that would tell the story of the site and link the building to other local heritage sites.

McGregor Bowes’ appointment as lead consultant was in 2013 and works started on the restoration in 2016. The works included: masonry repairs using the best match for the original materials; a new roof using as much of the original material as possible and matching reclaimed slates; new solid oak doors and bespoke fixed-light windows; new Caithness stone floors; new paths that were graded to improve access and a green sedum roof on an existing flat topped monument to provide weather protection.

The project included sensitive archaeology, much of which was assisted by local volunteers, to complement the repair works. Throughout the works there were a number of visits and workshops that engaged the local community in the history of the site and the techniques and materials used in the restoration.

The final part of the project was the interpretation and display element, the design of which was carried out by McGregor Bowes, who also acted as main contractor, working with StudioSP. This created a display of medieval ornamental grave memorials that are recognised as being of considerable archaeological interest, which had been relocated for conservation purposes inside the Nave of the building and adding interpretation throughout the site. The display includes “as-new” carvings of existing medieval stones to illustrate the original appearance of two gravestones, on top of bespoke seat displays in the Nave and Chancel of the building.

The restored external monuments were also tied into the narrative of the site with new interpretation panels.

Major funding partners include the Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic Environment Scotland, the Highland Council and the Robertson Trust.

Private home in East Lothian. Reception floor and stair in Dekton Tundra

WORLD OF STONE Stonecraft Edinburgh Ltd opened its original showroom in 1981 after a long involvement in the marketing of sandstone, limestone and granite for major building projects throughout Scotland. The aim was to make natural stone more readily accessible for small to medium sized residential projects.

The initial focus at the time was on kitchen and bathroom surfaces and also fire surrounds. Fire surrounds remain a substantial area of the business today with Stonecraft representing a number of leading brands including Chesney’s and Dru Fires. The recently refurbished showroom contains an impressive range of traditional and contemporary surrounds and appliances.

However, the main growth and expansion of the company is based in our roots in the stone industry. In 1987 Dunedin Stone Ltd was formed specifically for the supplying of sandstone for projects throughout Scotland.

Stonecraft continued with the production of marble, granite and limestone, these materials all being fabricated in a similar manner. This market has surged in recent years with the development of engineered stones such as quartz and Dekton. These new materials offer significant advantages over natural stone and open up whole new areas of useage.

They bring together cutting edge technology and a diversity of colour and texture previously unimaginable. Stonecraft has a long association with Cosentino, the market leader, and is one of their preferred fabricators.

Towards the end of 2015 Stonecraft was approached by Simpson and Brown Architects regarding a private home refurbishment in St Andrews, Fife. The project was well under way but arrangements with a London based stone contractor had fallen through. They were looking for a local based contractor capable of fulfilling the project which consisted of a number of stone floors, kitchen and bar surfaces and four extensively clad marble bathrooms.

100

Stonecraft was appointed and with the architect, they visited a number of their overseas suppliers, sourcing material for the project. At the same time a similar project also began in St Andrews in conjunction with a London based design team. These projects were quickly followed with a further two similar contracts in Edinburgh’s new town.

Work was completed in India Street and Great King Street through Ian Smith Design.

Throughout these works the company added to its production capabilities with an Intermac CNC work centre and a pair of Sasso CNC bridge saws.

These additions stood Stonecraft in good stead to begin eighteen months work on Nunraw Tower in East Lothian with GLM Architects. Stonecraft produced and laid an extensive area of stone flooring in rooms and hallways built over a period of four centuries. The work included refurbishing a large number of fireplaces. Mosaic floors were laid throughout the spa, sauna and steam and the spa walls were clad in granite. Surfaces in four kitchens were covered with granite and the walls, floors and showers of a large number of bathrooms were clad in various marbles and limestones with matching profiled architraves around the doors.

These projects were completed on time and the work met and exceeded the expectations of the design teams and clients. Future projects later this year include extensive marble work in a number of bathrooms on a project in Sutherland through GRAS. Clients are welcome at Stonecraft’s Edinburgh showroom to discuss their plans and projects with our friendly and experienced team.”

The project refurbished an existing inflexible multipurpose space, used by both students and the general public and addition to renovating 45 guestrooms and associated spaces. Key to the success of the project was the rebranding and repositioning of the spaces within both a commercial hospitality offering, but also increasing the flexibility of the breakfasting room, to facilitate more productive student use.

The space was re-orientated to increase natural light levels and incorporate a wider range of seating types, with a view to creating varying levels of privacy. The space now operates 24 hrs, serving hotel guests breakfast whilst accommodating students for single or group study, workshops and satellite learning.

Italian large format concrete effect floor tiles were the starting point for the feel of the space, manifesting itself in industrial style features such as exposed ceilings and iron effect wall coverings. A lighter, more quirky and fun feel was brought in with an eclectic mix of materials, textures and furniture.

Bright bursts of colour within the fixed joinery elements and furniture softened the industrial feel. Hundreds of postcards, riveted metal plates, and wire pigeon hole boxes created a variety of feature wallpapers, with wooden pallets forming the public bathroom ceilings and OSB rough boards, ‘branded’ with their delivery information.

The exposed ceilings and industrial materials opened up the space, maximising the natural light. In conjunction with the client, the team decided to use furniture rather than fixed screens or acoustic baffles to improve the acoustics. 3DReid’s design introduced high backed sofas and chairs (for group or single study) and three booth seats which featured TVs and upholstered banquette seating running up and over the ceiling.

In the bedrooms, the compact space, 18sqm, was a challenge and we had to use a series of techniques to make the rooms feel light and airy. In some rooms, we made best use of the floor space by having super king size beds which fitted into three corners of the room, under the window, along with various Edinburgh-themed wall murals with different colourways and floor to ceiling mirror in the bathrooms to reflect light back around the room.

We had outgrown our previous studio and had identified that we wanted to be in the vibrant merchant City area of Glasgow in one space and on one floor. When the top floor of the Garment Factory became available we immediately knew it was right for us. We were familiar with the quality of the space and, in particular, the serrated roofscape with roof lights was a true studio space.

At 8,500sqft, it was significantly larger than our requirements, but this has led to some wonderful opportunities to really explore how we could reflect and support our culture and values in the interior design and encourage design collaboration.

The design response is unique to us and, as a result, rich in our story, complete with parts of our projects decorating key positions and the inclusion of elegant backdrops to our poster collections. Given the scale of the space, it was important to bring all our experience to bear to ensure we controlled the budget and we managed to achieve something quite special for £30sq.ft, well below a standard fit-out cost.

All staff were engaged in the briefing and design process and certain principles were enshrined from the beginning: Visibility: take our visitors and clients on a journey through the heart of the studio and maintain visibility with the team .

Respectful: our design celebrates industrial features and doesn’t compete even down to the bespoke designed collars and conduits held onto the columns.

Human Scale: we have worked hard to break the studio up by manipulating the floor plane, using dark tones and introducing textured walls Timeless: a key image from the start was Don Drapers apartment in Mad Men. This wasn’t about creating a pastiche stage set but more about capturing the elegance and warmth of mid-century modernism with hints of Eames and elements of Aalto Sociable: it was key to design a space that could adapt to host events and the hub space is both an auditorium for a lecture, a café and a night club Creative: care is taken throughout to showcase our wares and our creativity with the open placement of our well equipped model making workshop and bespoke cases to curate our models.

Calming: the unique Jungle Room where we can meet, relax or hold yoga sessions is a balance from the open plan studio space,

Charles Stewart House Interiors Chambers Street, Edinburgh Lewis & Hickey Architects have recently completed a new entrance area and meeting suite for a grade II Listed University building in Edinburgh’s Old Town.

A logical entrance sequence offers level access into the building from the street, through a glazed draft lobby, culminating in a bespoke reception desk.

A series of suspended timber fins form a feature ceiling that draws the user in and frames the reception desk by dropping to a lower height and mimicking the curved shape of the desk. The orientation of the desk not only directs the receptionist’s sight towards the main entrance doors but also faces them towards the main source of natural daylight.

A tiled marmoleum floor, with a subtle herringbone pattern – referencing the parquet flooring found in many of the historic buildings in Edinburgh - provides a continuity throughout the whole entrance space.

Externally three stone entrance steps have been removed to create a level threshold, welcoming access for all. New aluminium framed glazed doors have been installed to match the style of the existing shopfront.

Behind the doors, the immediate floor level has been lowered and a discrete platform lift installed for wheelchair users.

Glasgow Film Theatre Leisure Glasgow In 2011, The Glasgow Film Theatre embarked on a phased journey to deliver a masterplan vision for a significant refurbishment to the much-loved category B-listed building and former 1930’s James McKissack’s cinema building.

The first phase alteration works, complete in late 2013, was the introduction of a new entrance threshold a new third cinema auditorium space. This phase, what we call the Completion Project, focuses on the full refurbishment & alteration to both the public & private areas throughout the cinema building.

Spatially the project focuses around the creation a new foyer or ‘new room in the city’ that generates a distinctive operational space to organise and direct film goers around the building but equally offering a suite of new contemporary, but sub consciously familiar, interiors detailed and enriched by a carefully selected material palate.

St Aloysius' Sports Facility Leisure Dalhousie Street, Garnethill Mosaic Architecture + Design has completed a £5 million sports facility at St Aloysuis’ College in Glasgow.

The new building is positioned diagonally between the Mackintosh Building and St. Aloysius' Church, both A-Listed, and adjacent to the GSA's Reid Building.

Urban form is characterised by application of the city's grid iron street plan up and over the steep sided drumlin which forms the basis of the topography, with significant falls across the site creating an interesting streetscape.

The site has considerable falls across it, yet the design is completely barrier free. The main entrance is positioned on Dalhousie Street across from the existing college buildings where a cantilevered steel stair and doublesided lift access all levels.

At ground floor the changing and showering facilities are located across from the gym and dance studio. At first floor a balconied café looks north over Garnethill Park. At second floor a viewing gallery wraps round the sports hall, providing facilities for spectating.

AN AGEING POPULATION – CHALLENGES FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Following a trend across much of the developed world, the population of the UK is growing, and ageing. The UK population is projected to continue growing, reaching over 74 million by 2039. The population in the UK is getting older with 18% aged 65 and over and 2.4% aged 85 and over. In 2016 there were 285 people aged 65 and over for every 1,000 people aged 16 to 64 years (ONS, 2017).

The WHO’s (World Health Organisation’s) global network of age-friendly cities and communities has identified the crucial role of the physical and social environment on health and wellbeing across the life course. Against this background, it is increasingly recognised that the built environment, enriched by new opportunities from digital innovation, matters crucially in defining favourable conditions to transform ageing into an opportunity for economic growth and personal wellbeing.

It is well recognised that our built environment needs to adapt to the changing needs of society. UK Government have recently supported an investment “into developing new technologies that will revolutionise the way we age and provide everyone with the best possible chance to grow old with dignity in their own home.” This investment is positive but how do we consistently apply new approaches to adaptation and development that will achieve the desired outcomes?

Current housing models, and related standards, design codes and associated certification schemes do not readily align with the changing needs of the population.

With these insights it is important to not solely focus on developing new technologies that support healthy ageing without simultaneously taking account of the urgent need

to reimagine housing and the built environment. This challenge needs a cross-sector approach, recognising and harnessing the knowledge of the healthcare sector, whilst seeking the inspirational input from the development community. The collaborative approach undertaken by BRE in the development of their ‘Dementia Friendly Home’ https://bregroup.com/ipark/parks/england/buildings/ dementia-friendly-home/ is an example of this multidisciplinary approach to home adaptation for an ageing population.

Perhaps the biggest challenge is to encourage and incentivise greater collaboration between the development community and healthcare professionals. Critical to this successful collaboration will be to determine ‘what good looks like?’. What should our homes and communities look like in the future if we are to accommodate the changing needs of our society?

BRE is working with Government, public sector, healthcare professionals and technology providers to create consistent approaches to these significant societal and development challenges. Whilst taking a lead, BRE recognises that expertise in this field exists across industry sectors. Given the inevitability of us all ageing at home and within our communities, these challenges also present great opportunities to build new partnerships and develop commercial opportunities.

We believe in the timeless beauty of simplicity, referencing Dieter Rams 10 Principles of Good Design; especially the maxim that, “Good design is as little design as possible”.

In the context of designing landscapes this translates into an approach that prioritises the importance of site along with a detailed and thorough understanding of the components that constitute the character of the place. Building upon this research and understanding we seek to combine a tectonic approach that focuses on careful material selection and detailing with a strategic understanding of the wider landscape character.
