The Architecture Annual 2019 closes out a decade of ground-breaking work with a fresh cohort of 88 projects compiled by Urban Realm which enable all architects, clients and contractors to regard the future with confidence.

These 138 pages are the result of travelling the length and breadth of the country in order to pull together the best delivered work from The Black House (pg30) on the Isle of Skye which sees Dualchas shake up the most traditional of building forms to a fairytale House in the Woods (pg48) in which Taylor Architecture Practice bring a touch of fairyland to the Scottish Borders.

Runaway winners at the Scottish Design Awards Marc Kilkenny Architects return from over the Irish Sea once again with Clydebank Community Sports Hub (pg115), frieze-framed here for its contribution not just to architecture but to design craft courtesy of Freytag Anderson.

Structural gymnastics takes centre stage at TrägerHAUS (pg32) where Haus have defied gravity by embodying the potential of posttension concrete to its fullest.

Among the familiar faces we also welcome a number of newcomers to the ASA this year in the form of Graeme Nicholls Architects with their first major project at Ashtree Road (pg31), followed

by Line Architecture who have unveiled a major new work of their own with Monachyle Beag

(pg14) and Trail Architects who have brought a ray of light to Inverness with The Raining’s Stairs (pg50).

The following pages sit as a companion piece to our ever-growing library of new buildings available to view online at Urban Realm, an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to stay abreast of the changing priorities, trends and technologies but it is this book which serves as the most tangible connection to the past, something which becomes ever more important as the digital age advances.

In a tumultuous age architecture provides a bulwark of stability against the maelstrom of events, technological progress and social change which at times threaten to overwhelm us. By transposing this work from the screen to the page I hope it will serve as a constant reminder of all that has been achieved and as a declaration of intent for the future.

No-one and no place should ever stand still, least of all architects and our built environment.

With this book we celebrate not just what has been achieved but set out a roadmap for the projects which are still to come.

Aberdeen Music Hall Public Aberdeen Aberdeen Music Hall has been at the centre of cultural life in the north-east of Scotland since the 1850s. Thirty years on from a major refurbishment, the celebrated concert hall was in need of repair and a new vision to position it to serve the public for decades to come.

The venue fell far-short of current expectations of access and inclusion, whist its layout and facilities constrained Aberdeen Performing Arts desire to expand delivery of music education and performance and its tired dated image risked alienating a new generation of audience members.

New basement areas were excavated under the listed building to provide lift and stair access, and removal of the concert hall floor allowed a basement store to be opened-up and enlarged to relocate toilets that had been introduced in a prime location on the ground floor in the 1980s.

Occupying the ground floor space recovered by displacement of the toilets, a contemporary café bar is flooded with daylight through windows that had been boarded-over, and relocation of the bar has allowed a magnificent neo-classical room to become the Big Sky Studio for more intimate performances.

For the first time in the building’s history, all visitors have barrier-free access through the front door by means of a new granite ramp let-into the podium of the portico. Once inside, an invisible lift emerges from the marble stairs, and two new passenger lifts provide access to all floors including a Creative Learning Space that has been created by combining back-ofhouse offices on the first floor to provide APA with a dedicated space for music education.

At the main entrance, full-height frameless glass door assemblies frame a large video wall designed to entice passers-by to cross the threshold, whether it be to engage with its artistic and entertainment events, educational programme, or just to enjoy the new café bar.

In addition to extensive repair and conservation of the Category A-listed fabric, redevelopment of the Music Hall delivers major upgrade of the concert hall auditorium to provide adjusted sightlines, new seating, platform enlargement, a stage lift and hardwood flooring.

Overbearing and dated interior decoration has been replaced with a sympathetic, timeless colour scheme to complement the elegant neo-classical detailing of the listed interiors that have been enhanced by installation of BDP’s architectural lighting in all public areas.

by Collective Architecture in 2014, which facilitated the relocation of Collective to the City Dome on Calton Hill, Phase 2 works see the extensive refurbishment of the Category A Listed City Observatory, Transit House, Playfair Monument & Boundary Walls. It also includes the addition of a new two-storey restaurant, ‘The Lookout’ which cantilevers over the northeast corner of the boundary wall, a new gallery ‘The Hillside’ which is excavated into the basalt mound to the north of the Observatory and a new welcome kiosk .

The connections between each building are then carefully knitted together by an extensive new landscaping scheme, which allows the site to become fully accessible and open to all, for the first time in its 240 year history.

East Calder Partnership Centre Public East Calder

ARCHITECT COLLECTIVE ARCHITECTURE I CLIENT WEST LOTHIAN COUNCIL

Collective Architecture has recently completed a new £3.5m Partnership Centre in East Calder, for West Lothian Council. The Centre brings together community services which include; the East Calder Community Library, Community Education & Resource Centre, Local Council meeting rooms, multifunctional community halls and changing facilities for local sports clubs including East Calder Community Football Club.

Building proposals were developed in parallel with a master-planning strategy, which aimed to establish a green link through the town centre. The two primary building uses of the library and community multipurpose halls create distinct building forms which emulate local vernacular forms.

The Centre accommodates a wide range of community activities. This includes a preschool playgroup and children’s breakfast club, 50+ group, Judo, Yoga, Needlecraft, Youth Work, Sure Start, Advice Shop, Camcorder Group and Old Time Dancing.

The local community have fully embraced the building which is constantly active throughout the whole year.

A controlled palette of materials has been chosen in response to the building’s context. A strong multi grey/brown facing brick compliments the local stone, alongside areas of pre-oxidised copper which allow the building form to stand proud and become a new beacon for East Calder.

Weltmusum Wien Public Vienna, Austria Following an international open competition in 2013, Hoskins Architects – in collaboration with Ralph Appelbaum Associates – were appointed to redevelop the Weltmuseum Wien’s exhibition and visitor facilities. The 7,500m² museum is situated in the historic Hofburg Palace in Vienna and includes 2,400m² of permanent exhibits and 1,400m² of temporary exhibition spaces.

A contemporary multifunction ‘cube’ in front of the main entrance highlights the museum’s public presence on Heldenplatz.

New reception and introductory spaces lead visitors to the Säulenhalle – the heart of the museum – where visitors can relax in a new café area. From this dramatic space visitors can directly access the temporary exhibition spaces, a new museum shop and a new auditorium at ground floor level; or the permanent collection and education facilities on the upper floor. The design incorporates a consistent architectural language, sensitive to its historic context, which works with the exhibition design to create a clear and coherent museum.

The leap of imagination involved in viewing what was intended to be an Anti-Aircraft Operations Room (AAOR), and became a Highland Council Depot instead, into a 21st Century Museum was immense. It was wellworth making, however, and our client must be commended for seeing the prospect and sticking with it.

The AAOR is a concrete box inside a concrete box, built in the 1950s as a command centre that would withstand the effects of a hydrogen bomb blast. Although never kitted out, it is an extraordinarily tough construction and we had to take care in considering where and how that might be changed. The outcome delivers a very precise exercise in plan with few external changes but, where change has been made, effected with utility and drama to the fore.

In essence, the exterior has been dressed to maintain and enhance the monolithic block of the AAOR with the original blast wall reimagined to form the new entrance.

That is set in stark contrast to the interior, which was grit-blasted back to the original concrete throughout. The nails that once held the formwork for the concrete roof have also been left in place - now, other than the walls, the oldest visible pieces of the building.

The largest object and centre-piece for the Museum is a Fresnel Lens, removed from the Rubh Re Lighthouse. This sits within a complex of displays, the materiality of which returns to that of the pristine exterior but bringing the warmth of timber and the complexity and cultural breadth of the Museum’s collections into proper view for the first time.

The Gorebridge Beacon Public Hunterfield Rd The Gorebridge Beacon finally opened its doors to the public on November 2018, nearly 10 years after Lee Boyd won a competition to support the Gorebridge Community Development Trust in building a much needed multi-purpose community building in the town.

The project struggled post-financial crisis to raise the appropriate funds, the first contractor was sacked half-way through the project in 2015 and only 8 weeks before the project was due to open in spring 2017, it was subject to an arson attack which set completion back by a further 18 months. The aspiration to provide comfortable, flexible and affordable public facilities in Gorebridge is now being realised. The Beacon is already busy with a huge variety of community activity, is hosting events and providing office space for local organisations.

The new building clad in Scottish Larch, sits on an open site alongside Gorebridge Parish Church and looks out across the Pentlands Hills. The design places the building back from the road to create a more relaxed threshold and organises accommodation around a double height circulation space.

The accommodation schedule includes: main hall, Trust office, cafe, nursery, ancillary spaces, a suite of lettable office space and a meeting room.

Monachyle Beag Public Balquidder Glen, Loch Lomond The project at Monachyle Beag was to create a new sporting estate within a 1000-acre upland holding in the Trossachs. The centrepiece is a new hunting lodge which is perched on the edge of a mountainside looking over Loch Doine and to the upper reaches of Balquhidder Glen. The brief required a building to house stalking equipment and vehicles at one end and a luxury living area at the other end to allow guests to spend up to a week at a time stalking on the estate.

The lodge sits isolated on the hillside, a small forestry road was specially constructed to the site and the planning permission included a five-year planting plan to link areas of native woodland across the estate.

The lodge is separated into three main elements – an oversailing barn-like structure under a sedum roof that minimises the visual impact of the glazing while also creating covered and sheltered spaces to view the landscape and to provide shelter for guests when coming off the mountain. The inner structure is separated into two elements; a solid utility section, housing vehicles, entrances and plant rooms and then a glazed box at the far side of the building that forms the main living area, enjoying 270-degree views of the surrounding landscape. This inner structure is uniformly coloured in a flat grey to accentuate the shadows and the outer skin is a more highly textured, sun bleached Scottish larch.

Dundee Station Public Dundee Central Waterfront A tour of many 1960's stations across the country which were born out of a period of retrenchment shows only too well how a narrow focus on functionality can be underwhelming and of course, lack the flexibility that the railway now needs as it enjoys a new renaissance. So as plans for housing, hotels, offices, restaurants and retail are considered around and above our stations how do we celebrate the railway?

From that perspective, it is interesting to reflect upon what Dundee Station was like only a few years ago.

Each of these commercial uses has its own needs and requirements not least to provide a commercial return to enable value to the railway but critically also to enable railway enhancements and development. So a careful architectural balance developed in collaboration with multiple development partners is required to deliver that value whilst ensuring that the railway does not drown in a cacophony of visually and functionally competing developments.

Network Rail's Station Design Principles point to many functions which can underpin an architectural response to mixed-use railway development. Protecting crowded places, pedestrian flow, legibility, permeability, revenue protection, access for all and wayfinding are all functions, but they also provide a rationale for public space, the sequencing and scale of spaces and architectural prompts to ease understanding and navigation through spaces.

Such factors influenced our architectural response to the new Dundee Station (designed with Jacobs for Dundee City Council) which also contains a 120-bed hotel, restaurant and office suite beyond its railway functionality. Its street level concourse is housed in a grand arch in sharp contrast to the 1960's station which it has replaced, addressing a major public space leading to both the new V&A and the city centre.

The arch vaults the ECML below celebrating the station as a gateway to the city but also the rail network, leading through to an escalator hall which takes the traveller down to the platforms below. The arch in turn provides access to the route to the platforms, pick up and drop off, taxis, rail replacement buses (when needed), parking and a new enclosed cycle park.

Each part of the mixed-use development has its public face and its own identity and conversely, the new-found scale of the development offers the station an urban grandeur which it would otherwise not have.

Oban North Pier Harbour Building Public Oban The Oban North Pier Harbour Building is located on a prominent site, on Oban’s North Pier and forms part of the Argyll & Bute Council’s wider public realm regeneration of Oban’s High Street and Waterfront.

The building provides office space for the North Pier’s Harbour Master, as well as tourist information and support facilities for the recently completed Pontoon birthing extension. Accommodation includes shower, locker and support facilities for people arriving in Oban by boat, ferry, yacht or kayak. A small commercial unit with a separate entrance is also included on the ground floor.

Site restrictions within the working pier environment determined the building’s potential footprint, whilst the party wall to the existing Listed hotel building adjacent, determined the height. The design intent was to provide a commanding key view for the Harbour Master across the new pontoons and to all vessels approaching and exiting the harbour into the bay beyond. The Harbour Master is cantilevered out over the main entrance, creating drama and public shelter against the ever-changing climate.

Partick Bus Station Redevelopment Public Partick, Glasgow SPT’s Redevelopment of Partick Bus Station creates an attractive “forecourt” to the existing Rail/Subway station completing a transport hub that integrates bus, rail, subway with national cycle and local footpath networks providing multi-modal connectivity and access for all.

The existing bus station apron is remodelled and existing unsightly bus shelters replaced by bespoke architect designed bus stances increased in size/number. The extensive structural glazing connected to elegant steel framing creates transparency that aids wayfinding/surveillance.

As the roofscape is highly visible, it is deliberately designed with an attractive curved profile that cantilevers to accentuate their prominence and provide shelter at stance entrances. The cantilevered metal roof form and soffit is further emphasized by continuous LED lighting to soffit edges.

Glazed stance auto doors are activated on bus arrival by induction loops concealed within the bus apron. The 3.2m internal height of the bus stances provides a sense of space.

The curved glass ends allied with the polished granite plinths contribute to the high quality waiting space that improves the passenger experience.

The public realm is decluttered and the installation of high specification granite paving, seating and planting raise the quality of the environment for passengers and the local community.

22 Public

The first officially designated long-distance path in Scotland, the West Highland Way runs for 96 miles (154 km), from the town of Milngavie in East Dumbartonshire to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands.

Throughout the year, walkers from around the world converge on Milngavie to embark on the Way, but until now a tarmac ramp and blank gable, leading through a service yard, have made for an inauspicious start.

The proposal enhances the setting-off point for the walk, by offering photo opportunities and glimpses of the landmarks and vistas populating the route. The scheme is comprised of three elements: at the top of the ramp is a large ‘welcome panel’, with two walkers pointing the way. Then, as the ramp crosses the Allander Water, the key element of the installation is revealed: a 25m long artwork in a restrained palette of corten steel and timber, screening the existing gable from view. Ninetysix timber posts, representing the total mileage to Fort William, are grouped into sections of the walk. Between each cluster, 750x2000mm demountable corten panels have been routered and layered with illustrations and milestones.

At the bottom of the ramp, a new screen of timber and corten guides walkers away from the service yard, encouraging passage along water’s edge. The final element, a freestanding introductory panel, faced with a silhouette of the route northward, overlooks the ramp.

Havannah House Residential Glasgow Collegelands is Vastint Hospitality’s first student housing development in Europe. The use of part-modular, cross-laminated timber construction reduced typical construction time, improved build quality and enhanced the overall sustainability credentials of the building.

We designed an S-shaped building which encloses a private courtyard to the south, together with a semi-public courtyard to the north.

The six-storey building has accommodation for 458 students with a mix of standard, cluster and wheelchair rooms.

Standard studios have integrated kitchen facilities, while cluster and accessible studios share one of the four communal kitchens on each floor.

Gerben de Witt, Vastint Hospitality ‘It shows that such great achievements can be born from teamwork, close collaboration, devotion, good technical knowledge and fun.

This complete team truly has been amazing’.

Applecross, Gattonside Residential Scottish Borders Applecross is a forever family home in the Scottish Borders. The main aim behind the design was to take all the best elements of the clients’ former home, and add the elements that it missed, in addition to more.

The form of the building takes its direction from its context, transitioning between surrounding properties, and maintaining existing views of the Eildon Hills for the neighbours. All the prime living spaces of Applecross also take advantage of the views, with both inside and outside space.

The house is contemporary at its heart, but draws from the vernacular. Because of this the house sits confidently, but quietly. The centre of the house is a large family living/kitchen/ dining area, which in turn leads to the first floor living room.

Collective Architecture was commissioned

by Home Group Scotland to design 32 new houses and a children’s home on Glasgow’s south side. The site is located on Muirskeith Road, adjacent to Newlands Conservation area: a leafy neighbourhood with beautiful sandstone villas and generous gardens.

Glasgow City Council previously owned the site and an existing 32 bed care home required decommissioning before work started on the new housing. The associated parking and pathways, occupying around a third of the site were also removed. The remainder of the site, arranged as garden space with mature trees, was developed as part of the proposals.

Early consultations looked at how to develop the site as sensitively as possible, retaining existing trees and the level of greenery that characterises the site. A concept was developed to pair homes with trees, whether existing or new, in a shared front garden.

Anderston Phases 4&5 Residential Glasgow The completion of Anderston Phases 4 & 5 concludes the regeneration of Anderston which began in 2004. These final phases provide an additional 206 new build flats, completed in sandstone and brick work, complementing the surrounding context.

The development reinstates the missing section of Argyle Street, re-opens important vistas towards the city centre from Glasgow’s West End and vice versa. and stitches Anderston back into the surrounding area of Finnieston.

The 189 mid market flats are a car free development, and the 87 flats for social rent are provided with less that 50% provision to the outer edge of the rear of the site. Five new buildings, varying in height from four to seven stories, front the streets around the site.

Houldsworth Street to the rear of the site, is now lined with large south facing communal gardens that accommodate the level changes across the whole site.

Moray Place Residential Edinburgh, New Town Working within Edinburgh’s Georgian New Town World Heritage Site on a Category A listed town house present’s its own challenges!

We were tasked with creating a new cooking/eating space that forms a link between the basement storey and the small east facing garden which could previously only be accessed down two short internal flights of steps through two outhouses.

We identified that the solution was to control the transition from historic building to outside space by retaining one of the original outhouses and creating a new addition which had a sequential section arrangement that modified and transitioned as you moved away from the Georgian house. Harvesting natural light and direct sunlight gave complexity to the final design.

Existing traditional slated pitch roof with stone walls leads to new pitched roof, south orientated rooflight and timber clad walls leads to pitched and flat roof with limited view out finally leads to flat roof and fully glazed walls. Contemporary interpretation of classic proportioning locates it in Georgian Edinburgh!

Due to restricted access the sub-structure was designed to sit on minimal pad-stones to avoid costly excavations. We exploited this to allow the thin floor plate to hover above the garden.

The Black House Residential Isle of Skye This coastal house is built in a prominent location, being very visible from approaching ferries and the pier. The site is within a wooded area, with a flat plateau at the top, sloping down to a steep rock face meeting the shore.

The obvious and easiest place to build would have been on the flat area at the top, which the seller had cleared with this intention. The view is beautiful from here but feels removed from the shore. We wanted to control the drama of the site, as well as exploiting the view we wanted to crate an intimate relationship with the shore and rocky landscape. Our approach was to drop a two storey box into a natural hollow in the bay.

When approached from behind the house appears as a modest single storey black gable.

From the front a two storey glazed gable cantilevers out dramatically over the rocky foreshore. The idea of control and drama is carried through the interior.

As you descend the staircase the view through the frameless glazed gable dominates the main living space. The house id filled with books, art and objects but everything has a place and it doesn’t feel cluttered. The end result is quite sculptural.

The entrance lobby is narrow and unremarkable, but from there you enter a double height library/stairwell lit from above, the view is not yisible but the drama of the light from above and the verticality gives you a sense of the hidden volume of the building.

Ashtree Road Residential

Pollokshaws, Glasgow Our clients challenged us to design a scheme which would appeal to the planners (previous architects who had looked at the site had had little success). They also had a pragmatic requirement for it to adopt pitched roofs, facing brick and timber kit construction.

As well as the client’s constraints, which we embraced, we also developed our own stance for the project. This was to create a strong narrative-led architectural work which was site specific and which would create an authentic sense of belonging to the neighbourhood in which it is set.

We achieved this by adopting familiar building forms and in the architectural expression of motifs relating to the area’s historic connection to the weaving industry.

Our design is realised as two blocks, which synthesise the prevalent typologies found on each street- a ‘Tenement’ block to Ashtree Road, and a ‘Villa’ block to Christian Street. These two blocks are placed at the site boundaries, aligned with the splaying angles of the roads. This configuration provides a strong urban edge while also enclosing a private rear court which overlooks the neighbouring Ashtree Park.

TrägerHAUS Residential Ayr Road, Giffnock TrägerHAUS is a private dwelling that embodies the traditional aesthetic of its context, with an ambition to create a dynamic and responsive architecture that exists synonymously with its location. Situated on the periphery of the Upper Whitecraigs’ Conservation Area of Glasgow. The development plot was land that originally formed the garden of the Upper Apartment at 39A Ayr Road, a Victorian house, owned by our client Linda and James Laws.

James, a founding director of Interspan, a global post-tension concrete firm, and his wife Linda Laws had approached HAUS to create an ambitious family home.

It was HAUS' commitment and energy for Glasgow and their design ethos that drew Linda and James to them. HAUS, fascinated by the dual principles of continuity and contrast, produced a series of physical models, testing design concepts, which sought to bind the architecture to the landscape while pushing the expression and detailing in a distinctively contemporary form.

Initial inspiration came from traditional single form Scottish dwellings. Born out of a desire to create complementary contrast, HAUS designed a modest entrance elevation to be read as an outbuilding of the original house with no fenestration and simple materials of Caithness Stone, slate and Siberian Larch timber.

Beyond the composed, discreet entrance, visitors are received into a three-storey top lit, post tensioned, stone staircase. This central circulation piece serves as the primary wayfinding element, drawing visitors down to the main living space where an uninterrupted kitchen, dining and living space stretches out to the gardens and terraces beyond.

An oversailing cantilever holds the master bedroom in suspension above the external living terrace, providing elevated southeasterly views across the golf course and seclusion from the rest of the house. At the lowest level, the majority of the sleeping accommodation prevails.

Arrestingly simplistic, each monastic bedroom opens directly to the protected lower gardens through a full height glazed sliding wall. The depth of the lowest level whilst buried within the topography, houses the retreat spa.

TragerHAUS has been lovingly designed not just as an investigation in spatial variety, or the pursuit of architectural joy, but its hopeful success lies in its embodiment of a family home.

Powell Hall Residential North Haugh, St Andrews HLM were appointed in November 2016 to develop proposals for two gap-sites within St Andrews located adjacent to existing student halls of residence. The accommodation brief was to provide nearly 400 new bedroom spaces as part of the largest single expansion of student bedrooms in St. Andrews for over a decade. The two new buildings which are now complete were designed, developed and delivered within two years of appointment.

Located within the University of St Andrews North Haugh Campus, Powell Hall (named after Renee Powell the American professional Golfer) provides 205 modern student bedrooms delivered alongside high quality interactive common spaces. Taking its cue from the courtyard blocks of the existing hall, the three-sided u-shaped extension creates a new central courtyard space or quad at its heart.

The predominantly four-storey building is principally clad in masonry to the perimeter with a rainscreen cladding to the inner courtyard face. A fifth story is then added to the north side which is expressed as a lightweight rooftop extension, and which sits comfortably within the scale and volume of the surrounding buildings.

The colour palette and finishes reflect and enhance the visual amenity within the local North Haugh Campus area. The elevations bounding the site incorporate light buff solid masonry and light grey polished concrete cladding panels. Bronze coloured zinc detailing and surrounds further animate the façades whilst the angled window pods offer views out to the landscape northwards; a small nod to the Category A listed Andrew Melville Hall to the west by James Stirling. The lightweight rooftop extension is also clad in bronze coloured zinc.

The social, study and common spaces throughout the building are then located in prominent positions; for example, on the north east and north west corners to the building approach which help activate and animate the façade. These key spaces are then expressed on the facade as ‘pop-out’ boxes clad in zinc.

A double height space at ground and first floor to the west provides social and common space close to the existing hall and as a prominent active ground floor frontage to the new annexe. Students are drawn through these spaces upon entering the building along the route to the main vertical circulation cores as a means of encouraging interaction and engagement between students.

The new Whitehorn Hall lies within the grounds of the existing category B Listed University Hall, on a highly constrained site within the Hepburn Gardens Conservation Area.

The existing hall has a very specific character and feel, the design of the new annexe set out to be sympathetic and reinforce this character rather than dilute it. HLM’s design principal was to create a series of collegiate style quads or courtyards which are sympathetic to the scale and massing of Old Wing picking up, where appropriate, on the qualities and features of the existing listed structure.

A series of four storey perimeter accommodation blocks encompass the new quads with a centrally located three storey block housing shared common and social facilities over the lower two levels. Named after Katharine Whitehorn, British journalist, writer and columnist and first female Rector of the University, the new hall provides a range of 184 modern student bedrooms.

The centrally located double height common and social space create a sense of arrival to the new extension with vibrant and active spaces on ground floor and quieter focussed study areas on the upper levels.

Linking directly to the main vertical circulation cores students are drawn through this vibrant social space encouraging interaction and engagement.

The colour palette is intended to be sympathetic to the colour and tone of the adjacent sandstone buildings. This is further accentuated by the use of solid masonry and polished concrete products.

One of the key aspects of the Hepburn Gardens conservation area is the richness of its Baronial and Gothic roofscape characterised by pitched roofs, chimney stacks, turrets and towers. In keeping with this character, each of the blocks adopt a contemporary zinc pitched roof profil. The use of dormer windows along St Leonards road provides a direct link back to the nearby villas of Hepburn Gardens and Buchanan Gardens as well as Old Wing itself, whilst a modern interpretation of chimney stacks gather ventilation and soil vent extracts.

Common living spaces are placed in prominent positions in the plan and are expressed as light polished projecting concrete bays as a reflection of the transomed and mullioned bay windows of Old Wing and the large sandstone villas nearby. These spaces seek to animate and activate the facades and create activity on courtyard elevations.

St Devenick's Terrace Residential Aberdeen The brief was very simple and restricted in scope. The main requirement was to create a new open plan kitchen and family area on the ground floor to the rear of the existing property by removing an internal load bearing wall. The client also wanted to improve bathroom facilities upstairs.

The property is a granite built period home whose front elevation faces St Devenicks Terrace and the Deeside Way. Consequently, the main everyday access to the property is from the parking area and lane at the rear.

Access was via a door on the back elevation, through a utility space and door into the cramped and dark kitchen. The property had a large rear garden, but it was divorced from the rooms inside, and there was little opportunity to enjoy a view of the garden from the kitchen.

Upstairs a series of alterations had been made to create a small bathroom by installing a very unsatisfactory flat roofed dormer next to an original dormer window. The bathroom was inadequate, the dormer was both visually unappealing and it was leaking.

The first main design move was to relocate the rear entrance to the side of the building, in a more convenient and efficient location for the internal floor plan. This created an opportunity to maximise views of the garden to the rear. The internal loadbearing wall was removed to form an open plan space, and utility facilities and ground floor toilet were re-located to the darkest part of the floor plan so that light was maximised in the main kitchen space. A connection to the garden was created by the addition of a frameless oriel window, giving uninterrupted views of the garden by removing the corner of the building. The new window cantilevers to form a deep window seat reveal.

The existing first floor dormer was replaced with a contemporary dark grey zinc clad addition, contrasting with the original building and complimenting the existing granite masonry walls and slate roof. The new dormer allows light to flood into a re-arranged bedroom and a new, more spacious bathroom has been formed making use of an existing small window on the rear elevation.

Although no floor area has been added, it feels more spacious because it is organised to maximise the available area and the garden is now part of the home which increases the sense of space. The design of window alterations has answered an ordinary brief with a striking, contemporary and unique solution to enhance the appeal of the property.

ARCHITECT HYVE ARCHITECTS I CLIENT MR AND MRS LESLIE I STRUCTURAL ENGINEER GRAEME CRAIG CONSULTING ENGINEER I PHOTOGRAPHER DAVID BARBOUR

HYVE Architects were appointed to create additional living spaces to a steading in Drumlithie for a family with 2 young children.

The new area was to provide enough space to accommodate an open plan dining area and a new master bedroom with en-suite shower facilities. The property was surrounded by a large garden but the garden was only accessible from the side through a small patio door of the living room.

The clients wanted to maximise value from their budget and so HYVE suggested converting the existing garage and building a small extension rather than adding on a significant floor area. A new extension to the rear of the property joins the existing cottage to the new garage conversion, while at the same time, providing a much better connection with the garden. Part of the extension takes the original pitched roof shape of the steading while the connection between the extension and the garage is designed as a simple flat roofed link. The garage is converted into a large, light and bright master bedroom, incorporating an en-suite shower room and walk-in-wardrobe.

Internally the pitched roof is open up to the ridge within the new dining space, making the new extension feel spacious and light. Roof lights are installed in this roof to maximise daylight into the new room. The dining space is set several steps lower than the original cottage, which has been done to make a much improved connection to the sloping garden beyond. As a result the garden is much better used and has become a real outdoor room.

A very simple and cost effective palette of materials has been chosen. A slate roof and wet dash harled walls match the existing cottage. Windows and doors are timber/ aluminium composite, dark grey to contrast with walls.

Queens Road Residential Stonehaven The clients first approached Hyve in 2015 to explore options for their Edwardian terraced house. It was already a lovely family home but it was fast becoming very tight for living space with a growing family of five children and a dog. They had aspirations to build a contemporary extension, light filled, opening up the house to the garden.

Queens Road is just within Stonehaven conservation area, an attractive Edwardian terrace, situated looking east towards the town centre and the sea. The house itself is a 3 storey town house with a basement for storage.

The existing ground floor plan followed a typical layout with an entrance hall, stairway and living space to the front and kitchen/ dining space with a separate long narrow utility space to the rear. From the utility you could access a tiered deck with steps down into the west facing garden.

Through the design process a simple pitch form developed, zinc clad with a fully glazed gable onto the garden. This allowed for an open plan kitchen, dining space living space which focuses out into the garden. Opening up right across the back wall of the house has created a generous the kitchen within the existing house and dining space between the old and new, with steps and a glass balustrade leading down into the living space and out into the garden. The utility space and family shower room have been located centrally to the plan, more accessible form the rest of the house and allowing the main living spaces to maximize the natural light available.

The Bothy Residential Aberdeenshire The house comprised of an existing two storey three bed cottage which had been previously extended forming a link to the adjacent single storey storage bothy. Our brief for this first stage was to create a family home, converting the unheated bothy from storage into living and kitchen space and included a design for the next stage of the project re-working the existing cottage and previous extension to create 5 bedrooms and a dining space.

This project focused on the first stage which was to convert the unheated bothy into the kitchen and living space for the house.

Creating a new entrance was key, as the existing entrance was hard to find, tucked away behind the house, the new entrance porch brings you into the centre of the bothy space dividing it into open plan kitchen to the west and living space to the east.

Large windows in the gable of the bothy give access to the spectacular views out to sea. The roof structure was opened up throughout, to make use of the full volume of the space, whilst maintaining the original rafters and trusses.

New openings were formed in the bothy walls to connect into the existing extension, which has become the dining space, centrally placed in the house, making the most of the views to the east and the west.

The existing ground floor layout of the house involved numerous linked rooms to gain access to the upstairs bedrooms. The design for stage two involves re-positioning of the stair and reworking the layout to create additional rooms and bedrooms all within the existing footprint. The work to the existing cottage and stairs will form a future project.

The now light filled spacious bothy has createda great family living space, linked into the existing house, whilst allowing for the future planned improvements to the house.

Views from within the house and bothy now allow them to fully appreciate the special coastal location of the house.

Kesson Court Residential Haugh Road, Elgin This project provides replacement amenity housing in Elgin on behalf of Hanover (Scotland) Housing Association comprising 21 new two bedroom apartments including three wheelchair accessible cottages. .

At the heart of the development is a communal garden. Based around this, higher density flatted dwellings provide a ‘bookend’ to the north and a row of three cottages to the south address the street and tie into the residential scale of the existing dwellings opposite. Vehicle access has been restricted to the north and south boundary allowing the main body of the site to remain car free.

It was key to the design of the scheme to provide taller accommodation to the north and lower to the south to minimise overshadowing of the communal garden, garden room, planting and seating areas. This layout helps minimise the built footprint and maximises the (permeable) landscaped areas, whilst achieving the best orientation for all the dwellings in terms of passive solar gain, with the aim of helping reduce the energy consumption of the development relating to heating and lighting requirements. Trees were specified to assist the brise soleil fitted to the south elevation of the flats to provide natural solar shading and the landscaped garden is designed to encourage communal use.

The adjacent River Lossie has a history of flooding and the the new buildings were to replace existing flood-damaged Hanover blocks on the site. As such the ground floor construction was designed to be resilient to potential flood risk using masonry construction, whilst the upper floors are lighter weight, highly insulated timber frame construction with timber cladding in order to provide a softer aesthetic. Sedum roofs to the flats help mitigate rainwater runoff.

The cladding was designed to be an openjointed rainscreen, neatly mitred at corners and cut with vertical shadow gaps at each window opening. There was a requirement to accommodate bats within the project so proprietary bat boxes were incorporated within the exterior walls at the west end of the flats and the timber cladding cut neatly to suit.

Each property is fitted with a heat interface unit (HIU) from a centralised boiler, providing instantaneous direct hot water and indirect secondary heating, which omits the requirement for individual gas boilers and provides both the housing association and residents with a highly efficient and easily managable centralised heating system.

Buccleuch Place & Meadow Lane Residential Edinburgh jmarchitects were lead consultant on the Buccleuch Place & Meadow Lane project as part of the University of Edinburgh’s estate regeneration programme.

The project provides student accommodation within thirteen refurbished Grade ‘B’ Georgian townhouses to Buccleuch Place, new purpose-built student accommodation to Meadow Lane with a central communal building set within landscaped gardens. A subterranean Energy Centre connects the development to the University’s Central CHP plant.

Through an extensive consultation period, a sensitive approach to this historic environment has resulted in a design that is sympathetic to the conservation area. The high quality finishes and approach to landscaping create a unique student experience while enhancing the regeneration of the area. Working in depth with Accommodation Services, through extensive workshops and meetings, we have also worked to deliver site specific interior concepts for both the new builds and the refurbishment.

At Meadow Lane a cluster of new accommodation has been provided containing 136 en-suite bedrooms arranged in 22 flats with shared kitchen/dining facilities.

The central location and open design of this building assists in enhancing the sense of community and place.

These three townhouses capture the essecnce of rural living whilst only 15 minutes from Edinburgh’s city centre. The concept behind the development was driven by the three-bay existing steel frame, timber clad and crinkly tin roof argricultural shed that stood on the the site originally. The reimagined, contemporary design for each property includes a fully glazed courtyard that have been cored out of the form to create lightwells and external spaces for the properties to open up onto.

With bedrooms on the ground floor, the open plan living on the first floor extends the entire length of the dwelling with views across open fields towards the historic Liberton Tower and the Royal Observatory.

5 Melville Crescent Residential Edinburgh Originally built in 1855, the grandeur and elegance of this impressive ‘A’ Listed building draws inspiration from Edinburgh’s Georgian architecture. Carefully restored and reimagined, this historic West End property now offers five spacious apartments, each individually designed to make the most of the building’s fine architectural features, classic proportions and outdoor features; redefining modern city centre living.

The kitchens have been customised by Kitchens International and are striking additions to each of the five apartments.

The Leicht kitchen benefits from top of the range Siemens appliances and include an induction hob, in bench pop up extraction, combination convection microwave and steam oven, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, insinkerator and Quooker 3-in-1 boiling tap.

The principle concept for the kitchen design was to marry the tones of the room; the wall units to the walls; and the kitchen island to the flooring so both elements effectively vanish within the space.

One of the many beautiful features is the Master Bedroom of Apartment Three.

It exploits the refurbished floor to ceiling windows and timber shutters to maximise natural light in the space. This natural light is drawn through to the internal entrance hall via clear storey frameless glass intersecting the cornice. It forms the top of a partition which creates circulation space to access the two bedrooms. The cut-out combined with the fawn coloured 100% wool carpet and the tones of the original fireplace, accentuates the luxurious, expansive feel.

Another feature is the dark brown exposed roof ties in the top floor flat. These were revealed during the strip out and were kept exposed adding to the ‘feel’ of the apartment and allowing for high ceilings. The ties marry the flooring used throughout the development; an engineered timber board, laid in a chevron pattern with a bespoke dark chocolate coloured oiled finish.

Floor to ceiling sliding doors, 3m tall by 4m wide, open onto a private garden in the lower ground floor apartment. The doors allow light to permeate the garden level property and further open the living, dining and kitchen space.

The newly defined building enhances the apartments’ interior space whilst seamlessly and sensitively blending ‘old’ and ‘new’ in a contemporary setting within the West End of Edinburgh’s New Town.

Donaldson's School Residential Edinburgh This significant project includes the restoration and conversion of the historic Playfair building and Gate Lodges into a collection of high quality apartments and the creation of new build housing to the north of the site.

The former Donaldson's School for the Deaf is one of the most distinctive buildings in Edinburgh and was designed by Edinburgh's foremost architect, William Playfair, in the 1840s. BuiIt in the style of a Jacobethan Palace, the 124,840 sq ft quadrangular form and central tower with domed octagonal turrets is arguably one of the most important structures in Edinburgh.

The site is being undertaken in partnership by two developers, each of whom have appointed the practice for their respective sections. City & Country is responsible for the restoration and conversion of the Grade A listed William Playfair building into a range of residential apartments whilst CALA Homes will be constructing new apartments on the north side of the site.

The proposal consists of a crescent of new build apartments to the north of the site and conversion of the existing building into a series of mezzanine apartments. The development will also feature a newly created half moon shaped landscaped garden area between the Playfair building and the crescent of new build properties. The proposed landscape scheme aims to enhance the feeling and perception of being on the rural edge of an historic city, in much the same way as Playfair intended.

Guthrie Street Extension Residential Carnoustie The existing dwelling is traditional in layout, with three bedrooms, a bathroom, family room, lounge and kitchen. The north facing rooms of the dwelling have large windows and light however the rear south facing rooms have small windows and openings not utilising the south facing natural light.

The kitchen is tucked away to the rear of the house and feels separated, the room is small and cramped with no room to relax or spend time. The roofspace is large in size but restricted headheight, accessed via a drop down ladder within the store.

The ground floor alterations and extension are primarily to the rear of the dwelling. The proposal will demolish the former outbuidings and create a new modern extension.

By extending the property out as far as the existing ‘kitchen’ and creating slapping to the existing ‘family room’ it allows for one large open planned kitchen family and dining space for cooking and relaxing. The new family room has large sliding folding doors out to decking.

The large windows allow for natural light to spill deep into the plan and also allows for the open planned space to connect seamlessly with the garden and external spaces. The existing kitchen space is upgraded and is reconfigured as a utility and wc space with direct access from the garden.

A House in the Woods Residential Lauder, Scottish Borders Located five miles from the market town of Lauder, in the rolling agricultural landscape of the Scottish Borders, Pyatshaw is a small hamlet comprising of a loose collection of houses; each house occupying small clearings between areas of dense woodland. In 2014, we were asked to design a house within this settlement, in a site bounded on the north side by a fast-flowing burn and on the south by a narrow road.

The initial design problem was finding an area large enough to locate the house: flood risk in the flatter areas adjacent to the river made development impossible and arboricultural and topographic surveys indicated steep slopes and bands of highquality, protected trees occupying a large proportion of the site. We identified an area towards the western side of the site that, although overgrown, had no trees of any maturity, and which we judged just large enough to locate a new house. Within this area was a flat, raised plateau; the highest portion of the site and this became the location for the living space.

The extensive root systems of the adjacent trees as well as a very constrained budget, ruled out using large scale retaining structures, and suggested that the internal levels of the house should follow the slope. This led to the development of a very dense section, with the accommodation split across five floor levels.

An entrance level, bedroom and bathroom are at the lowest level with another bedroom on the floor directly above. A further bedroom is set at a mid-level, with an attic room directly above that. All of these spaces are accessed via a fully glazed hallway to the west side that contains steps, doorways and places to sit, all animated by shifting, tree-filtered light.

Steel beams, columns and timber roof joists are exposed to reveal the form of construction and to give texture and depth to the ceiling plane. At the end of this ascending route is the wedge-shaped living space, where you enter into an unexpectedly tall space below a rooflight. Externally, the pitched roof building form presents a simple gable-end to the street.

This belies the internal complexity, but locates the house in the local vernacular. The roof planes are zinc, while walls are predominantly clad in a dark stained timber rainscreen. A lighter coloured, blockwork plinth and steps provide a solid base for the building and contributes to a strongly horizontal dynamic which provides an effective contrast to the slope of the hill side.

The Raining's Stairs Residential Inverness The Raining’s Stairs development reinvigorates an important part of Inverness; replacing a long-vacant ‘problem’ site, which had suffered from considerable anti-social behaviour, with a building of significant architectural quality and profound, transformational benefits to the community. .

Inverness-based developer Ark Estates worked collaboratively with The Highland Council, Highland Housing Alliance and a design team led by Trail Architects to unlock the full potential of the site, which is opposite Inverness Castle and presents great views across the city.

The architecture takes cues from the historic, traditional character of the area, while using contemporary materials and detailing – creating a progressive and optimistic presence, while being sympathetic to its context.

The proposals focussed on maximising integration with the existing stairs, enhancing connections to the unique history of the site – and simplifying access to the residential properties.

The massing of the proposal is based on traditional pitched-roof forms, arranged to sit comfortably alongside neighbouring buildings – particularly when viewed from the Castle.

The increasing terraced heights of the building responds to the sloping site – the gabled roofs appear to cascade down the slope.

The result is a scheme which gives enough accommodation to make the proposal viable, without being over-developed.

Engaging the significant level change (27m), and very limited site access was critical. This was managed by creating terraces to carry steel platforms, upon which the timber kit superstructure was placed.

Crucially, extensive off-site construction and pre-fabrication simplified the construction programme. The use of lightweight materials in cladding the walls and roofs creates a sharp, attractive façade which was quick to install.

The project has already transformed this key central location within Inverness. The site was a blight on the city which caused detrimental impacts to adjacent businesses and the broader community.

This development has significantly changed that.

Fraser Grieve, Scottish Council for Development and Industry (SCDI) Highlands and Islands regional director said: "This is making a major contribution to the regeneration of this part of the city centre which can only be good for the local economy."

The Glass Room, Blackhill House Residential Perthshire Blackhill House sits in an outstanding, elevated position above Tay valley in Perthshire; it is a mid 18th Century Category B listed building originally built as an inn, serving the old drove road that passes just to the east.

The historic house has only small windows and low-ceilings however and a new space was desired that would make the most of the outlook across the expanse of lawn to the landscape beyond. It was agreed that a new extension on the eastern gable end was most suitable; in terms of its massing in relation to the existing house and also because it could utilise an existing door opening in the gable wall, providing access into the kitchen. The floor level of the proposed extension needed to correspond with the existing internal floor level, but this left it half a metre below the level of the garden which rises up around the house.

The concept of the glass-room was developed, where the new extension floor is excavated into the ground-plane and hovering above is a roof supported on an elegant steel structure. Between roof and ground is an enclosure of minimalist glass walls, detailed so as to appear to drop straight into the surface of the lawn and with the southern facade able to be drawn back so that this space entirely opens up to the garden. Low, tiled walls act as benches around the perimeter of the space and extend through the glass wall to define an external paved area and steps. A series of incrementally curved, birch-faced, plywood fins span across the width of the space, creating a shallow dome under which to sit and take in the view.

This site was located at the northern end of Blinkbonny Road with views over a small parkland area to the Forth and Clyde canal and the Forth valley beyond. Before the build a handsome, Victorian double villa sat at the end of the road but did not address the park or canal at all. Arka used the scale of the Victorian house together with a sloping site to create a three storey townhouse, built from a continental brick that referenced the sandstone of the old villa. One part of the dwelling recalls Scottish tower houses with their solid walls and small windows. The other side is more like a pavilion in the park with big windows capturing the views. Low carbon technologies with ‘Passive House’ levels of insulation, solar thermal hot water and heat recovery ventilation make the house incredibly efficient to run.

Hunters Residential Falkirk This was a unique project to redevelop the buildings and grounds of a former convent.

The site is located close to Falkirk town centre in an area known as Arnothill which itself is closely related to the line of the Antoinine Wall (WHS). The site was occupied by a cluster of buildings which formed a Carmelite convent until 2014. The original building dates back to 1855 when it was built for the Rev. Lewis Hay Irving and became the Carmelite convent in 1931. Further extensions were added to the original building in the 50s, 60s and 70s. These extensions formed additional accommodation, a library and a Chapel.

Arka was tasked with designing an overall masterplan for the upper area of the site, which comprised the original buildings as well as the southern garden ground site which was sold off as separate plots.

In total there were five different clients which we worked with to develop two new villas and five apartments within the northern site area as well as seven new houses set within the southern site area. Whilst being sympathetic to its context with its appropriate scale, mass and materiality, the proposals also embrace the true spirit of Arnothill, in that it captures the original Victorian vision of an area defined by aspirational, statement buildings set within well landscaped grounds.

Blackburn Partnership Centre Health Blackburn, West Lothian Hoskins Architects was commissioned to design Blackburn Partnership Centre in West Lothian to bring together a range of primary care and community services for both NHS Lothian and West Lothian Council. Prior to completion of the new building, services were being operated from a variety of premises in the village that were reaching the end of their serviceable life and were no longer suited for effective service delivery. The new centre offers the community a range of co-located services delivered within a modern, purpose-built facility. The project was delivered by Hub South East and built by Graham Construction Ltd. Arranged over two floors, the 3,000 m2 centre was designed to combine a library, sports hall, community centre, early years centre, youth centre with a GP surgery on the ground floor, with a new General Dental Practice and support spaces on the first floor.

At the western end, the building entrance/ reception, NHS waiting space and reading areas overlook a newly created public square which connects the building with the adjacent Mill Centre shopping centre, at the heart of the village. Individual departments are arranged around a central, double-height internal street which is open-plan to the library. Consulting rooms look out onto a private courtyard at the rear and the early years centre has a dedicated garden to the east of the building.

The main material used to clad the building is a pale ‘tumbled’ brick which has a mix of dark grey and buff with a light-coloured mortar. Large areas of curtain walling and timber define the entrance and publicly accessible rooms at the front of the building.

The building achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ at design stage and incorporates roof mounted photovoltaic panels. The project welcomed users in autumn 2017.

Gorbals Health & Care Centre Health Gorbals, Glasgow The New Gorbals Health and Care Centre combines four GP services, Dental services and a variety of social care services under one roof, improving health services locally and improving the Gorbals area.

Forming part of the Crown Street masterplan for the regeneration of the Greater Gorbals area, the project proposed a new integrated Health & Care Centre bringing together a variety of local health and social care services with a strong civic identity.

The building re-establishes a perimeter block on the site, creating a new civic space and giving a sense of place to the wider site. It is designed around two open courtyard spaces that provide daylight, natural ventilation and a strong visual amenity throughout, enhancing the feeling of wellbeing for both patients and staff.

Using a simple and robust material palette The New Gorbals Health & Care Centre provides the local community with an integrated, welcoming and uplifting environment. The Gorbals residents have seen an improvement in physical environment and patient pathways, with quicker referral pathways between professionals under one roof and a more coordinated approach to recovery.

Woodside Health & Care Centre Health Glasgow The new Woodside Health and Care Centre has been built to replace the existing 1970’s facility which has come to the end of its useful life.

The existing facility was an exemplar design at the time and was replicated over several sites. The new centre brings together a range of primary and community care services that were located across various sites in Glasgow with the intention that Greater Clyde and Glasgow NHS can offer a more integrated and efficient service for the local community.

Glasgow is a city characterised by its historic pre-1900 adherence to built for against the street edge and this typology generally followed a grid form of rectangular blocks. Where these grids intersected with the more organic nature of peripheral road development special types evolved to deal with these junctions. These became know as ‘gushet blocks’ and a number of distinctive corners historically existed in the Maryhill and Garscube road corridors including work by Greek Thomson. Woodside is one of these The new building brings a significant urban scale and presence back to the area and each corner of the gushet contains an entrance marked by precast concrete panels containing artwork reliefs designed by Bespoke Atelier.

Each entrance defines a key component of the brief; The Health Centre; Community Addictions and Elderly Daycare.

The predominant material facing the urban street edge is a hand-cut brick whilst the inner courtyard, clad in western red cedar reflects the quieter, softer nature of these less defensible elevations. The street elevations reflect the local materiality of the surrounding developments however the subtle detailing of the brick with its double string coursing and large window openings pays homage to the historical nature of the area (when it was largely tenamental) and at the same time breaks down the massing of the skin.

Due to the change in level across the site the lower ground floor contains the Glasgow City Council Day Care Centre and its associated courtyard garden. The ground floor is the public level containing community services reception, community accommodation, a Dental Practise and a Pharmacy. The first Floor is a semi-public level containing the GP consulting rooms, waiting areas and receptions – all orientated around a top lit glazed central atrium space. The second floor is a private level for staff only.

A building with highly technical functional requirements presents a particular challenge.

There is always a fear (in architect and client) that the functional requirements will not be met – that the adjacencies, flow separations, pressure cascades etc will not be achieved. All too often such facilities become merely built realisations of solutions to a series of technical problems. Good examples are separated from others by how the challenges are met, and the quality of environment that results.

The National Centre is not a processing machine, it is a place of work for around 400 people. Many are existing staff from four different centres, who have been asked to move their place of employment and to work alongside people who may be strangers to them. SNBTS were keenly aware that creating a successful team under these circumstances was a challenge which could be greatly assisted by a sympathetic building design.

Our response was to create a building whose focus is contact between departments and areas, and the people who work in them.

This starts with the architectural diagram, which divides the accommodation into strips which are placed alongside each other, maximising length of interface (and easing the topological flow and adjacency problem), with Testing and Research placed above Manufacturing (enabling a 3d solution to the flow requirements). A central arcade, through which all staff pass on their way to work, contains communal functions such as cafĂŠ and CPD space. At the upper level, a gallery within this arcade is the connecting corridor between Testing and Research laboratories.

The departmental boundaries are then dissolved by making them, as far as possible, of glass.

Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice Health Bellahouston Park, Glasgow The hospice, located within Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park and surrounded by a context of historically significant villas and cottages, benefits from a civic presence with a form which mediates between the city it serves and its parkland landscape setting.

To negate the potential sprawl of the complex brief and adjacencies, the accommodation has been reduced to four interconnected villas that reduce the overall perception of the massing to a human scale.

The inpatient unit is based on the Sengetun model (meaning bed courtyard) which makes it easier for patients to identify, orientate themselves and feel comfortable within a smaller group. It also supports patients who may be easily confused and have sensory impairments of dementia.

The hospital has been designed to put people first and make a positive contribution to the environment, local community and economy.

In a challenging environment and exposed site location, the concept behind the design was one of protection and shielding from the extreme weather conditions. The curve of the building protects the main entrance space and inpatient accommodation and is a reference and acknowledgement to the historical architectural form unique to the Islands.

The challenge was to split a relatively large building down into distinct areas or districts, with separate identities, but unified as part of the ‘town’ plan. An interrelated series of ‘streets’ and spaces are situated along with patterns of established movement, arranged around a single central hub. From this public space, wayfinding is easy and intuitive and space is visually connected with external courtyards to further remove the traditional institutional associations.

The new building accommodates a diverse range of departments which are designed to be flexible both at the user level, supporting complex staffing conditions, and for future expansion and service planning.

Accommodation comprises of flexible integrated wards, and public arrival facilities.

The Bayes Centre is a new world-class business and learning centre for the University of Edinburgh which brings together academics and students working in the fields of data technology, design informatics, maths and robotics with start-up / spin-out companies and industrial collaborators. It is a building worthy of Edinburgh’s reputation and leadership in these fields.

The Bayes Centre marks the final phase of the Potterrow Development, following the completion of the much-lauded Informatics Forum and Dugald Stewart Building also by Bennetts Associates and completed in 2008.

A charismatic academic lead championed the move to a more collaborative, open-plan workspace.

Despite initial reluctance from those used to working in a traditional cellular way, the new working environment has been embraced with great enthusiasm.

The new building follows the principles of the original design for the School of Informatics and uses the same external materials: local sandstone to the outside of the block and polished white concrete to the interior, with prominent feature windows and double-height balconies on a city scale.

The entrance colonnade on Potterrow and the oak lining to protected walls and soffits give coherence to the whole block.

The atriums of the School of Informatics and Bayes now face each other across a new public courtyard, which will be used for events such as graduations, design shows and festival performances.

Internally the building was designed as a cousin of the School of Informatics rather than a twin. As the ethos was to encourage interaction between different academic groups, spaces for serendipitous encounters are carefully designed.

The tiered atrium has numerous gathering spaces, the open circulation and stairs allow people to meet in passing, the fourth-floor roof garden has stunning views of Arthur’s Seat and the ground floor café complete with a museum of ‘antique’ robots is always busy with meetings, solitary working and socialising.

The ground and first floors feature large Edinburgh Centre for Robotics labs, where, for example, the robot Valkyrie is being developed in conjunction with NASA for Mars landings. These are placed at the heart of the building, making this groundbreaking work very visible for the first time.

An open plan “learning bridge” bisects the space on the first floor. Library spaces connect into the atrium at every level. Vitally, every one of these breakout spaces is designed to connect visually with every other.

Alyth Primary Education Perth & Kinross jmarchitects were commissioned by Hub East Central to prepare designs for a new Primary School for the Town. We acted as the lead design consultant for Perth & Kinross Council and latterly Marshall Construction, the Main Contractor.

The project has included the design of a decant plan for the primary school, nursery and community facilities, consolidating the site functions into part of the existing Junior High School, the demolition of various extensions to the original circa 1850 Victorian School to its original form, refurbishment of the Listed building to provide community facilities and a substantial, new-build extension to accommodate the Primary School and nursery. Due to its listed status and the strong local affection for the existing Victorian School, considerable consultation was required with Historic Scotland and the local Planning department.

The new building is arranged in a courtyard form, delivering a flexible central space which binds the elements of the brief into a controlled and tempered space used by the school and nursery for break-out and shared activities. As a passive, sustainable design, the courtyard solution also allowed us to minimise the energy needs of the building and deliver a holistic environmental and education solution for our client.

Largs Academy Education Largs North Ayrshire Council’s new Largs Campus was delivered via a Design, Build, Finance and Maintain Contract by Morrison Construction for Hub South West and provides a new learning environment for 1200 secondary pupils, 610 non-denominational primary pupils, 210 denominational pupils and 100/100 nursery pupils, as well as community facilities including an 8 court games hall, 2 gymnasiums, a fitness suite and 7-a-side synthetic pitch.

The new campus amalgamates the existing St Mary’s Primary, Brisbane Primary, Kelburn Primary and Largs Academy to create a vibrant educational facility centred around a flexible learning resource plaza.

Following extensive consultation with the surrounding communities and numerous educational teams from the schools and Local Authority, a new site located on rolling hills on the eastern periphery of Largs was chosen, offering fantastic picturesque views over Cumbrae and Arran. Due to the scale of the campus and school facilities, the building was designed as a homogeneous campus rather than a series of independent buildings with each part of the campus having its own identity within the whole. The building adopts varying scales and forms to elegantly manage the site’s challenging location and topography, creating visual interest and making the most of its unique context.

Combining a number of differing school buildings into a unified campus, whilst achieving comprehensive council briefing requirements offered interesting challenges and opportunities. The secondary school and two primary schools are positioned around the central learning resource plaza, reinforcing the idea of a ‘whole campus hub’. This area accommodates shared dining and library facilities providing opportunities for shared access and resources between the individual parts of the campus. Access to various shared sports and multi-purpose spaces are also provided from the central plaza.

The primary schools are located adjacent to each other separated by a vertical circulation core which offers flexibility and opportunities for interaction. The classrooms are designed to offer a semi-open-plan teaching environment, allowing teaching spaces to utilise adjacent breakout spaces as a shared extension of the teaching environment. The secondary classrooms also have access to flexible, shared breakout spaces and are organised by department and stacked vertically to exploit the views across the site.

Despite an educational brief which is similar to our new secondary school in Perth, the West Calder design is again a unique response to a unique site. It couldn’t be anywhere else.

Its form is inspired by the agricultural and industrial heritage of the area, its roof-scape echoing the angular forms of the nearby 5 Sisters Shale Bings, and containing below it a wide variety of interesting spaces of varying scale and character washed with natural light.

The deep plan, split level form of the school is also based on an innovative brief from which its exciting learning spaces are directly derived. Its design was the subject of creative collaboration with the Council’s team, our architectural ambition reflecting the client’s aspirations for a high-quality educational environment that is genuinely stimulating for all those who use it. The school’s excellent internal visual and educational connectivity is the product of an efficient footprint combined with an outstanding external wall to floor area ratio, an approach which is not just intrinsically sustainable, but also allows the project to deliver additional accommodation over and above the brief whilst still remaining well below the relevant SFT area guidance.

Lister Learning Centre Education Edinburgh The University of Edinburgh is to be congratulated on this significant and successful regeneration project.

An attitude to reuse, reimagine and re-purpose an existing structure, rather than demolish and re-build is the truly responsible approach to sustainability.

The design and fit-out of the buildings have been steered by an ethos of interaction, engagement and creativity-to deliver this ambition a community of spaces has been imagined to give researchers, students/ staff choice and control over their research and learning environment. This approach is intended to allow the building’s pattern of occupation to flex through time, in response to the varying needs of different teaching, learning and research themes as they emerge.

Our proposals are centred on the idea of a hub –a space where primary horizontal and vertical circulation meets. This creates a social heart to the once disconnected buildings and provides a vibrant and convivial place, designed to encourage serendipity where ad-hoc and planned meetings can take place.

This focus on the social spaces and facilities of the buildings will deliver the University with highly social buildings-places where students WANT to spend time because the environment is a pleasure to occupy and the facilities are easy and convenient to use.

ARCHITECT NORR I CLIENT HUB EAST CENTRAL SCOTLAND / PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL I MAIN CONTRACTOR ROBERTSON CONSTRUCTION

Bertha Park High School was designed by Architects NORR and completed in July 2019. Created for Perth + Kinross Council, the building was delivered through Hub East Central Scotland and built by Robertson Construction and it is the first entirely new school in Scotland for 25 years; it does not replace an existing building, but rather provides an entirely new facility which extends the secondary provision of the city of Perth.

Based on a radical brief developed in conjunction with the Council and SPACE Strategies, the building has been designed to give equality of the user and learning experience to all of its occupants in an entirely seam-less way, and in a form which is conducive to a cohesive and collaborative learning experience. Consequently its design delivers a wide variety of spaces of varying scale and character, it erodes the corridor and fully ex-ploits the use of natural light, delivering an accommodation mix that is considerably less than the relevant SFT metrics. In this way the building provides not just enhanced value for its learners, but also demonstrable value for the public purse as well. The school is compact and efficient yet still contains spaces of undeniable grandeur.

The project's intrinsically sustainable, thermally efficient form is complemented by a simplicity of construction detailing in such areas as the roof (where there is only one roof plane and 7 water outlets) the repetition of common window components, and the controlled use of a limited palette of materials, creating a simple, ele-gant and highly civic exterior which contains a spatially rich and educationally interesting interior.

Arranged on a north-south axis, the school presents a taller, more formal, and highly glazed frontage to the north which attractively puts learning on show to its wider community whilst, in contrast, the lower scaled southern end of the building provides access to the schools’ main social area from its southfacing play-ground which enjoys links to its residential context. This approach has allowed the school to successfully ma-nipulate its scale to sit successfully within a lower scaled emerging townscape.

The Headteacher Stuart Clyde has been in the enviable position of being able to recruit every single member of staff to help him deliver a fully digitally enabled curriculum, within this new, highly contemporary and genuinely radical learning environment.

RECHARGING RETROFIT In May, the Scottish Government made a landmark legal commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 20451. To make this a reality, we must quickly turn words into actions. Heating currently accounts for around 47% of the country’s carbon footprint2, so the building envelope performance of existing buildings must be addressed as a matter of urgency.

When upgrading a building’s energy performance, careful consideration must be given to ensure the solution is appropriate. In cases where the existing cladding is tired, installing a new facade system can be a cost-effective route to a more attractive building as well as a more energy efficient one.

Balance The key elements to consider when enhancing the thermal efficiency of a wall are insulation choice, airtightness, detailing and limiting thermal bridging. There are a variety of through-wall facade systems which tick these boxes without compromising on other performance aspects.

Built-up systems, in which all components are installed separately, offer excellent design flexibility. When using modern closed-cell insulation within these systems, it is possible to achieve U-values as low as 0.08 W/m2.K with a slim wall build-up. Alternatively, mineral fibre insulation can provide enhanced acoustic benefits but much thicker volumes are needed to achieve the desired U-value.

Insulated panel systems offer a more modular approach.

They can either be specified as single components — combining cladding, liner and insulation in one — or as a substrate layer with separate external cladding. Their design can facilitate fast-track installations with reduced risk of errors.

Whichever system you choose, fire performance must be carefully assessed. Following the recent updates to Technical Handbook 2 (Fire), all elements of cladding systems installed above 11 metres must achieve a European Classification of at least A2-s1, d0 or the precise cladding system used must have been tested to BS 8414 in accordance with BR 1353. A variety of built-up and panelised systems are available which meet these requirements.

1 2 3

Prepared It is not only important to refurbish buildings to reduce their contributions to the climate emergency, but also to handle extreme weather from the changes that are already taking place.

Addressing the fabric performance and airtightness of the wall constructions will help occupiers to effectively regulate internal temperatures, retaining more heated air in colder weather and keeping warm air out on hotter days. Consideration also needs to be given to ensuring that facade systems can safely withstand harsh wind, rain or sun conditions, whilst retaining their appearance and performance.

The Centre for Window and Cladding Technology’s (CWCT) ‘Standard for systemised building envelopes’ provides a clear assessment of weathering performance.

Approved systems must meet a number of demanding criteria covering resistance to water penetration and wind loads and control of air-leakage – as dependent on the individual application.

Leaders Scotland has long been at the forefront of the bid to combat climate change through building refurbishment with measures such as the Energy Efficient Scotland (EES) plan. The net-zero pledge presents a real opportunity for the Scottish architectural community to once again take the lead, revitalising our buildings so they’re fit for the future.

New Waverley Offices Commercial New Street, Edinburgh The New Waverley Office Building was constructed as part of the 2nd phase of projects within the 2006 masterplan for the New Waverley Development. It is situated just North of the Royal Mile, within the Edinburgh Unesco World Heritage site and Old Town Conservation Area, on a site previously occupied by the New Street bus garage.

The main entrance to the building is from the new public Plaza created as part of the wider regeneration masterplan, which also includes the creation of new public pedestrian routes such as the adjacent Sibbald Walk.

The project provides 190,000 sq ft of net office accommodation over 5 floors, split over 2 inter-linked but distinct sub buildings (North and South), linked via a 3 storey glazed bridge. The massing and roof-scape building is stepped in section to maintain key views across the Waverley Valley towards the sea from the City Centre.

Structurally, the office is constructed utilising a reinforced concrete frame on piled foundations. The building is designed with multiple entrance levels and retention structure to accommodate the site topography, which includes a 3 storey drop between the plaza entrance to the South and Calton Road to the North.

The building is clad largely in British sourced natural sandstone, with a small section of terracotta cladding to the North-East providing a reference to the red-brick bus station which previously occupied the site. Large areas of floor to ceiling curtain walling maximise the available natural light within the offices and allow for impressive panoramic views across Edinburgh and beyond from the upper floors.

The roofs of both the North and South buildings have been designed to provide accessible terraces for the building occupants, whilst recognising the importance of views over the building from Calton Hill and Regents Terrace above.

Greenhouse Cafe Commercial Melrose, Scottish Borders The site is located in Buccleuch Street, in the centre of Melrose. The site is bound to the north and the west by private houses, and gardens (Harmony Garden), and to the east by a car park serving Melrose Abbey. This historic building is located a short distance walk from the cafĂŠ, and the site is part of a Scheduled Monument Area.

The Greenhouse CafĂŠ was about revitalising and developing a key building within Melrose town centre. The facility was badly in need of refurbishment when the client purchased the building, and together we have brought the building back to life.

The two original buildings were completely refurbished and adapted to accommodate the expanded cafe, and then the two pieces connected with a new contemporary glass wall extension. The key aim of the glazed extension was to create a bright new space that connects the building with the beautiful Melrose Abbey: fashioning itself as the green house of the Greenhouse Cafe.

Originally built for use as an office block in the 1960s, Douglas House spent many years unused until its recent transformation. ICA have reimagined the building, creating a hotel that marks its presence in the area. The existing dated and tired glazed façade was removed and replaced with a proportional grid frame; bringing the glass box to life by capturing light and shade. Vertical extrusions are introduced above the existing plinth to draw the eye up the building and accentuate its height.

The hotel’s interior design takes inspiration from Scotland’s iconic musical legacy. There are three different colour schemes with a consistent design story throughout; featuring a custom carpet design that depicts worldfamous Glasgow music venues. Each scheme is punctuated with vibrant furniture that adopt the playful Ibis Styles brand ethos. This extends throughout the hotel, particularly in the lobby which is decorated with a customised grand piano reception desk, bespoke pendant lighting, and a retro jukebox. Exposed concrete columns and beams create an atmospheric backdrop to the scheme and are layered with a muted palette of warm timbers, soft greys and tan vinyl. This makes for a casual, comfortable and relaxed feel.

The hotel invites people to live/work/ play in the spaces. Fresh shop-front glazing to Waterloo and Douglas street creates a dynamic frontage for the hotel which now invites people to, not only stay in the hotel’s new suites, but to pass time in the ground floor bar and Tinderbox coffee shop.

The finished hotel is the fifth Ibis Styles completed by ICA.

Tollcross Housing Association Offices Commercial Glasgow The initial competition brief from the client, Tollcross Housing Association, prioritised three fundamental requirements. First, the project would require a particular response to the context of the site on Tollcross Road, terminating the Western gable of a historic tenement overlooking the expansive woodland of Tollcross Park.

Second, the building should consolidate the various individual departments of the organisation, interview and committee areas, together into one building as one working community. Importantly each department should interact yet retain a clearly defined domain and identity within an open inclusive workplace.

Finally, the design approach should interpret and display the intention that the new building is shared by the Association, the local community and the committee of over 60 residents. Alongside these fundamental requirements, they aspired to have a memorable building that would be identifiable at the heart of the Tollcross community.

The Association feel that their completed headquarters fulfils those requirements by responding in a calm, contemplative office space, with expansive views both within and outward over the park to the north and ongoing regeneration to the south.

Native Glasgow Commercial St. Vincent Place, Glasgow The primary aim of the design was to bring purpose and life back into the Anchor Line Building, a fine Grade A listed building in Glasgow’s Central Conservation Area, which had fallen into a state of disrepair to the extent it has been included in the Buildings At Risk Register for Scotland. The building’s character and location informed the requirement to create a high-quality development, linked to the Client’s existing dining and social accommodation on the ground floor and basement.

Repurposed on the upper floors as a 64-bed apart-hotel, each layout respected the original plans, whilst great care was taken to retain and repair original architectural details where possible, or precisely replaced where required. A sensitive 1-storey extension at roof level, set back from all edges, provides additional accommodation while respecting both the classical symmetry and materiality of the building.

Opened in September 2018 as Native Glasgow, the development contributes to the vibrant cultural and commercial life of the city, helping to secure the long-term future of the building.

The project involved refurbishment and alteration works to the existing floors of cellular offices to form large open plan office suites working within and around the confines of a listed façade and an internal ‘feature’ staircase.

The design strategy was to fundamentally improve accessibility, circulation and wayfinding throughout the building, as well as, providing new fit-for-purpose working environments with fully implemented services.

The Fife Arms Commercial Mar Rd, Braemar The Fife Arms, a landmark building in Braemar, has been restored to its former glory as the centre of the community after an extensive four-year programme of regeneration and restoration.

The completed project carefully balances the retention and restoration of key existing spaces and historic features, with an intervention that creates distinctive new spaces interwoven with the old, captures new views of the majestic surrounding landscape, and, crucially, allows the hotel to operate in a modern, highly efficient and effective manner.

At the same time, the redesign radically reconfigures the operational plan of the building to comprehensively improve efficiency and ensure that back-of-house functions no longer impinge upon residents or visitors.

A major intervention is the removal of infill buildings to create a new courtyard, made possible by the relocation of service zones from prime ground floor areas to a new lower ground floor positioned at the rear.

At the centre of the plan, the courtyard allows natural light to enter the heart of the building whilst providing an area of sheltered external space defined by an open colonnade. This peristyle includes ‘stripped bark’ tree trunk columns, a playful and consciously primitivist approach that is strongly associated with Highlands buildings of the Victorian era. These distinctive columns support an intensive roof planted with local varieties of heather.

Moxon architects has significantly extended and reconfigured the headquarters of the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) in Grantown-on-Spey on behalf of Reidhaven Estate.

Collaborating closely with The Highland Council through an extensive public planning process, Moxon has created a progressive design in a conservation area that ambitiously rethinks how the CNPA operates and interacts with its public. The new building serves to raise the profile of the CNPA while offering an environment designed to promote collaborative working practices and welcome visitors. It responds to its context with a structure of exposed cross laminated timber (CLT) clad in natural European Larch, which will weather over time, alongside pleated zinc and frameless glazing.

The design approach brings the new building elements to the fore, creating a highly legible new entrance and new wing for the facility. Collaboration, accessibility and the promotion of modern working practices were paramount to the design of the internal spaces, which now provide formal and informal meeting spaces as well as breakout zones.

New building elements in effect extend the street around a corner, extrapolating the town grain and complementing existing massing. Traditional materials are deployed in a contemporary idiom to enhance the innate characteristics of the town. Carefully choreographed shifts between new and historic fabric allow the existing built heritage to remain clearly legible.

A sequence of simply articulated volumes and frameless glazing creates open plan spaces designed to allow the CNPA to operate more efficiently. Internal areas can be easily reconfigured with movable timberclad screens that roll out to subdivide the space, offering flexible accommodation for a diverse range of functions including exhibition space and enhanced privacy workstations.

Layout and orientation is organised to benefit from solar gain, while high levels of insulation and energy efficient windows minimise energy consumption. A range of sustainably sourced materials, wildlife boxes and an intensively planted roof are incorporated seamlessly into the design.

Red Tree Magenta Commercial Shawfield, Glasgow Following on from a substantive enabling works programme at Shawfield, Clyde Gateway has now seen the construction of the first commercial development - Red Tree Magenta - on their 11 hectare development site at Glasgow’s East end.

The building’s location, being the first to be constructed on the Shawfield site, meant that for a relatively small building it was required in design terms to punch above its weight and make an impact on the wider site.

The spatial arrangement is a simple linear rectangular form that has been consciously subverted to provide a dramatic cantilever at the main entrance and primary approach with a deeply modelled south-facing façade including raised garden space.

Bronzed metallic aluminium rain screen panels were selected as a nod to the area’s industrial heritage. The rain screen sits on a base of dark grey recycled plastic planks punctuated by strips of glazing. The large area of curtain walling to the South is bounded by a ‘frame’ of metallic bronze and protected from the sun by a series of vertical metal solar shading fins.

Red Tree Magenta is evidence of outstanding placemaking architecture establishing Shawfield as a business setting and vibrant workplace location.

The opening of Primark’s flagship at 38 High Street in April 2019 provides an enhanced customer experience across 160,000 sqft of retail space.

Primark commissioned 3DReid to develop proposals to transform the centre into a retail flagship the retailer’s largest development in the UK to date. A productive dialogue with the planning authority identified the opportunity to re-shape the inward-facing centre to create a landmark development with a stronger relationship to the surrounding streets and deliver a new pedestrian route through the block in the tradition of the many Victorian arcades that criss-cross the city.

Considerable structural alterations were required to re-shape the centre to engage with the surrounding streets and equip it with exciting amenities that complement the city’s retail offer and activate the new pedestrian route through the building linking High Street and Moor Street.

In addition to the new façade and active frontage facing High Street, Primark agreed to incorporate additional works to transform the appearance of the existing Moor Street facade which is seen as a gateway to the retail core when approaching from Curzon Street and Eastside. Beneath the shared service road, a new store entrance flanked by concessions and display windows activate the frontage and will provide an active edge to a future ‘Station Square’ envisaged as part of the Curzon Street / HS2 Masterplan.

The building is over-clad with illuminated mesh facades to promote active frontages to both High Street and Moor Street. The High Street façade forms part of an historic streetscape and along this frontage the elevation is broken down into a sequence of contiguous facets giving oblique views along the street. The geometry of the Moor Street façade seeks to respond to long-range vistas.

Illuminated ETFE features mark the route through the development. Internally the route is celebrated with two full-height atria with top-lit LED Barrisol rooflights highlighting the route. Upper-level retail floors are linked by bridges which provide visual and physical connections between the sales areas on either side.

Primark’s flagship acts as an anchor to pedestrian movement along New Street to encourage footfall between the Bullring and the surrounding city centre. Re-activating once dead frontages, the development seeks to re-vitalise the High Street.

The main glasshouse sits centrally within the walled garden and allows Hendrick’s brand team to host a variety of events within a light and airy structure populated with Victorian oddities. It is flanked by two smaller glasshouses on either side which house a variety of exotic botanicals.

The original copper stills take centre stage within the new distillery, located within a central stillhouse whose dark colour palette allows the bright copper stills to stand out within their surroundings. This is reinforced by the bespoke, stained-glass oculus that sits directly above the 9m tall Carter head still, bathing it in light.

Cupar Burgh Chambers Historic 5 St Catherine's Street, Cupar The restoration of Cupar’s Burgh Chambers reinstated an abandoned and endangered historic gem to its rightful position as the dazzling centrepiece of the town’s Georgian townscape, and a symbol of economic regeneration in a struggling town centre.

Neglected for 40 years, this Common Good building was brought back to life in a imaginative and faithful restoration, adapting it for use as a holiday flat, complete with local furniture and paintings from the Georgian era.

For decades, the community had lobbied for a future to be found for the neglected common good property. However, the building was severely constrained by the physical arrangements of the rooms, which had very poor accessibility and difficult relationships to neighbouring properties.

The 148m2 building is B listed and sits at the key town centre location, with an elegant bow front and clocktower overlooking Cupar’s wide medieval marketplace. Neglected for many years, the building’s condition was poor and it was designated ‘At Risk’.

Technical investigations revealed a complex building with layers of construction phases presenting challenges to its structural and fire safety integrity and complex relationships to neighbouring buildings. This made it impossible to install a lift, constraining potential uses.

The philosophical approach was to retain as much original fabric as possible and enhance authenticity with the reinstatement of historic finishes and removal of modern interventions.

Contemporary improvements were either hidden or simply presented in an understated manner, deferring to the historic fabric.

A detailed process of designing conservation repairs included lime plastering and elaborate cornices, a lead dome, burgh streetlamp, clock and weathervane restoration, extensive joinery repairs and window restoration.

An especially complex process of removing cement and synthetic paint from the existing sandstone facades was completed through painstaking steam processes, followed by hand tool stone repairs and repointing. This allowed the existing distorted masonry window openings to be retained, with the original sash and case windows brought back to working order.

Energy efficiency was dramatically improved with the introduction of up to 300mm of sheep’s wool, a natural renewable form of insulation that mitigated the risk of interstitial condensation.

The Law School occupies the entire northern half of Old College, Robert Adam’s masterwork in Edinburgh. This quadrangle building, completed by William Playfair, provided all the University’s accommodation until it expanded into larger and more specialised buildings in the late 19th century. The northern part of the building had become confusing to navigate and was in poor condition.

LDN Architects has recently completed a major refurbishment of this Category A Listed building to provide contemporary teaching spaces, offices and support services accommodation. The building has been altered to provide level access across all floors from a new circulation core. A new café and social space have also been provided.

A new Law Library was designed on three levels with the introduction of a mezzanine level. Historic plan forms were restored and interior details revealed. A new octagonal book stack has been derived from the geometry of the octagonal lecture theatre above.

The external fabric works include the upgrading of existing roofs with modifications to existing dormers and a new dormer to Chambers Street. Existing roof lights were upgraded and roofs finished with new leadwork and reinstated slates.

Mechanical and electrical installations have been renewed integrated with the historic building fabric.

Queen's Cross Church Historic Aberdeen Queen’s Cross Church near the centre of Aberdeen is an impressive A listed Victorian building with a range of different facilities for church and community use.

The church members are keen to make better use of these facilities and to increase their community presence in the locale. At the core of this idea is the need to make the building more accessible, more inviting and more user-friendly.

The current proposals reorganise and modernise the church accommodation around a new transverse circulation route joining new entrances on both Albyn Place and Carden Place.

These new thresholds provide a distinct change to the exterior of the building and allow views into the building from the street.

Making the building complex fit for purpose is the driving idea for the project but as a consequence, a further set of priorities follow on, including the relocation of the nursery, the creation of a coffee house, reorganisation of the main hall and improved landscaping.

MAST Architects delivered their latest conservation project recently as the transformation of the Category B Listed former Carnegie Library in Coatbridge into affordable housing was completed for Clyde Valley Housing Association.

Located within a Conservation Area, the prominent red sandstone ‘Beaux Arts’ style building makes an important contribution to the townscape and unique character of the area. However, despite efforts to identify a suitable end use, it had been vacant since 2010 and the condition of the building had deteriorated due to lack of maintenance and criminal activity leading to it being designated a ‘Building at Risk’.

The client and design team engaged with the local planning authority and Historic Environment Scotland at an early stage to discuss the restrictions of the original building’s design, and the extent of changes that would be needed to successfully allow its conversion to flats. These changes included the insertion of new floor levels into the original structure, and the removal of the rear book stacks to create a robust and secure external area for residents, whilst the north gables of the book stacks have been retained to create a sense of security and enclosure to the garden space and to maintain the building’s characteristic silhouette.

A new access stair and external deck gives access to the upper levels, and areas of newly-exposed wall have been over-clad in an insulated timber rainscreen. These works are clearly contemporary in design, in order that the history of the building and its conversion can be seen and understood.

LDN Architects proposals required to address the needs of the congregation, various user groups and the public. A new entrance was created to the west side of the church hall by relocating the arched opening from the east gable. A new, larger arched opening was formed in the east gable, providing a link to the new extension and access from Princes Street.

Internally the church hall and basement were reorganised and extended to create a flexible hall and meeting rooms which can be combined. The hall has its own servery with service lift connection to the café kitchen below.

The basement café and retail units were reorganised to create the link between the kitchen and the hall above and to locate the retail units closer to Lothian Road.

Avonbridge United Reformed Church Interiors Falkirk The remodelling of Avonbridge United Reformed Church involved crafting a flexible interior capable of accommodating both worship and a programme of community outreach.

The solution was to vacate a dilapidated later addition hall and consolidate all activities within the original church building itself, which had been left vacant in recent years due to being considered no longer fit for purpose by the congregation.

The levelling of the previously raked floor has facilitated a more flexible space, into which a birch plywood-lined volume has been inserted, containing key ancillary accommodation in the form of a kitchen and toilets. The creation of a new light well, formed in tandem with this, opens up a portion of the roof space, providing a brighter, more voluminous feel.

Designed to support established initiatives, such as a lunch club, a credit union, and the daily activities of the Church, planned uses of the newly reopened building also include IT provision to assist those who are unemployed in their search for work and a community cafĂŠ.

Hotel Indigo Manchester embraces a fusion of two very different types of building – the historic existing Grade II listed building connected at each level to the new build 14 storey extension. The interior design sought to connect these two buildings by neither being traditional nor contemporary and there is a seamless flow between them.

Creating a building that perfectly balances modern architecture with old is always challenging and the plans designed for Hotel Indigo Manchester were especially ambitious. Positioned at the gateway to the NOMA development the building aligns and links this area seamlessly with Manchester’s city centre.

The refurbishment and extension has seen the launch of multiple new public spaces – lobby, reception, flexible lounge spaces, 187 guestrooms and Mamucium cafe, restaurant and bar.

Drawing inspiration from Manchester’s Victorian and Industrial past the Hotel is indigenous to the local area so guests are well aware that they are staying at the gateway to the Northern Quarter.

The standout feature internally is the entrance reception with a stunning open atrium space which is filled with natural light and highlights the restored Victorian brickwork and architectural details.

Existing elements of timber structure have been enhanced with feature lighting and bespoke fixtures to create an impact for guests and has proved to be a talking point as guests enter the hotel.

The reception lobby features a flexible lounge space which can be used by guests for relaxing or by business users for meetings.

The materials used throughout the public areas run throughout the hotel such as timber floors, aged leathers, and industrial style feature lighting and tiled finishes.

Mamucium Restaurant and bar, operated by award winning Chef Andrew Green, sits within the new tower section of the building and seeks to combine the traditional materials of the old building and fusing it with the modern architecture of the interior.

The restaurant’s centrepiece is a feature curved bar with fluted leather and brass concave uprights to its frontage, a solid stone top bar and an open theatre kitchen in the heart of the space.

The themes to each guestroom type reference elements of Manchester’s Victorian and Industrial past.

For a relatively small extension space is carefully crafted to feel remarkably light and airy. Within the kitchen, a deep worktop comfortably sets itself back within a recess, allowing more space to socialise at the dining table.

A large rooflight captures the south sunlight, pouring it across the dining table, while the window seat serves as a continuation of the exterior courtyard’s ground level, connecting the two spaces and blurring the line between inside and outside.

Lower Dens Interiors Dundee The conversion of the disused old Mill building provided many challenges., predominantly those relating to the constraints provided by the existing structural layout.

The introduction of three new stair cores and two new lift shafts were necessary to meet current building standards and hotel brand standard compliance. The retained castiron columns, whilst providing a unique feature, also provided a challenge when planning guestroom layouts.

The circulation routes were carefully designed and planned in order that they could be incorporated within the existing cast iron beam and column arrangements.

The existing columns and features were exposed and incorporated within the guestrooms where possible. Most columns were exposed within the ensuite’s, providing a unique feature.

The pragmatic and sympathetic approach to the conversion elevates the grade-A listed buildings to their former glory and matches the historic design aesthetic, whilst adopting many of the mandatory requirements imposed by the hotel brand standards and statutory authorities.

The converted buildings now offer a facility that meets the requirements of the modern consumer.

A further 10,000sqm of external exhibition space can also be utilised.

The proposals have been developed following detailed discussions with the AECC and incorporate expert external advice. The plans have evolved to provide ACC and the AECC with a building that maximises operational benefits and flexibility whilst enhancing the user experience.

The key changes to the original concept design have been the separation of the AECC and subterranean car park, improved circulation and viewing experience to the Arena, the relocation of the conference halls to the first floor to allow simultaneous operation with the exhibition halls and the relocation of the restaurant. All of these elements have assisted in creating an improved stimulating and animated frontage.

Redevelopment of a near derelict sports centre in Whitecrook, Clydebank for Clydebank Community Sports Hub and West Dunbartonshire Council.

The project involved the partial demolition and extension of an existing gym hall to create a new Community Sports Hub facility. Externally there are redeveloped pitches, allotments, community garden, new landscaping and a new public entrance from the street. The improved public realm along with increased employment is intended to help regenerate the local area.

The building form is simple using a restrained palette of durable materials with a new single-storey skin of brick wrapped around the existing hall and extension to create a new whole. The new metal cladding was fitted to the upper part of the gym hall with new double skinned glass clerestory for acoustic separation. The 75m long brick street elevation is animated by a large glazed opening, textured brickwork and precast concrete panel artwork designed in part by local school children.

Blackhouse Leisure Lochnagar A room for cooking in a wood fired oven, eating and drinking with friends; thinking, reading and drawing.

Planned and intuitive in equal measure this small building was made by its architect in the ruins of an abandoned highland blackhouse. Drawing on modern and premodern influences it was an opportunity for learning by making and an experiment in the use of large section, locally sourced timber. A Douglas Fir structural frame that was selected, felled, milled and jointed by hand before being erected while still ‘green’ supports a gently curved planted roof that oversails the partially reconstructed drystone walls of the old croft. Embedded in the steep sloping hillside, shutters open up along the entire south elevation to afford a panoramic view of Lochnagar and Upper Dee valley.

Designed to emulate the slope of the hillside, the monocoque structure of the roof provides bracing to the trabeated structural frame. A ‘notch’ in the leading edge of the roof allows space for the doorway, while projecting eaves on three sides provide dry seasoning space for the hardwood logs used to fire the oven. The top surface of the roof is extensively planted with native wildflowers to match the surrounding forest floor.

PRACTICE STATEMENT We seek to design landscapes that are deeply rooted in their cultural, social and spatial context regardless of scale. 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.
