Cultural
why choose us as architects for your cultural building project in Scotland
Upgrading and conserving Scottish churches forms the core of buildings in our cultural sector. As RIAS accredited conservation architects, we are a go-to architecture practice for any work on historic churches in Scotland.
Cultural and ecclesiastical buildings hold a unique place in Scotland’s landscape. We hold a deep respect for these heritage landmarks of faith, architectural beauty, and community life.
Whether we’re restoring a historic church, adapting a listed building for new uses, or designing a new cultural venue, we approach every project with insight and skill. Our experience includes sensitive church restoration and conservation, reconfiguration for modern worship and community use, reuse of traditional buildings for new cultural purposes, design of new worship spaces, galleries, and performance venues.
Â
Our services include heritage statements, condition reports, conservation plans, and quinquennial surveys. With many projects under our belts, we understand what is required to guide such projects through complex statutory processes, including all planning and listed building consents.
We collaborate closely with all parties, including clients and owners, congregations, heritage bodies, and local communities to ensure each building continues to inspire and serve its users for generations to come.
designing sustainable cultural buildings
Our approach for all cultural building projects is grounded in sustainability. In practice, this means combining low-energy design, durable materials, and sensitive interventions that respect and reuse historic fabric. We work to improve comfort and efficiency while safeguarding architectural character, often integrating discreet modern systems and renewable technologies.
We also take a long-term view of sustainability, enabling buildings to adapt and evolve, ensuring that each design serves not just present needs but future possibilities.
delivering for users and owners of Scottish cultural architecture
Every cultural building has a story of people, place, and purpose. Our role is to listen carefully and respond creatively. We bring together architectural imagination and technical expertise to deliver spaces that are beautiful, functional, and profound.
We measure success not only by the quality of the finished building, but by the relationships it strengthens and the experiences it supports. From the first sketch to the completed project, we are committed to creating architecture that uplifts the human spirit. Our buildings celebrate Scotland’s cultural heritage and serve communities with care and inspiration.
