blackford hill

For this project was asked to individually design a small scale visitor centre placed in my chosen site in Hill, which responds to the local built and natural context and will serve as an information point for all individuals visiting the area. The maximum footprint is 30sqm. visitor centre

The concept is inspired by the natural descendent form of the tilted floor on the Hill Top in Blackford Hill. The architecture of the building follows the nature of the ground, blending in with the site and it’s landscape.

The building is divided in two spaces: reception+toilet and view point or glass room. Stone and glass are the predominant materials, which relate to the natural environment and provide an true experience with the comfort of being sheltered from Scotland’s rainy/ windy weather.
