Planning consent & building warrant granted
This Bar / Restaurant complex comprises three adjoined buildings, one
timber clad and the other two in traditional white harling. The fragmentation
of the buildings both breaks down the scale of the development and structures
/ encloses outside ‘rooms’.
We have worked closely with interior designers, United Designers to achieve a
bespoke, site responsive solution for a building type which is so often stale
and generic.
In terms of form, material palette, scale and articulation it is
a contemporary re-working of the Scottish vernacular. The building is carefully
positioned on the site so that internal and external spaces take advantage of
views and southerly aspect. Both the approach and the routes through the interior
and exterior spaces are carefully staged. The sudden opening of views, flooding
of light and connection between spaces designed to provide drama and a sense
of place.
