The new buildings named Scotland’s best
Laidlaw Music Centre is the first building dedicated to music in the University of St Andrews' 600-year historySeven buildings which "delight and inspire" have been named by the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland as winners of the 2023 RIAS Awards.
Ann Nisbet Studio conceived the project as a "building within a ruin" - to bring the building back to life as a home while retaining the character of the ruin. The extensive use of timber continues inside, bringing texture and warmth to the home's bright and airy spaces.The residents of this family home wanted a home for themselves and their large family, whilst reflecting their personalities, which would do justice to its setting within a stunning landscape overlooking Loch Awe.
The new building contains an intimate performing venue, flexible rehearsal space, and a high-tech recording facility, and creates a new quadrangle as an extension of the historic St Mary's Quadrangle - the oldest part of the university dating to the 16th Century.
