The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) unveils its 2024 shortlist for the Best Building in Scotland prize.
Bringing new life to old buildings has emerged as a theme of one of Scotland's top architectural prizes this year.
These five projects are in contention to be named as Scotland’s building of the year, demonstrating the exceptional range of contemporary Scottish architecture.Overlooking the River Dee, this hillside farmstead has been restored, reinstated and reinvented following a decade-long project of careful reconstruction.Using a combination of traditional and contemporary methods, its five buildings have been renewed or repurposed as a home, studio and orangery for the owners.
The distinctive block houses 31 apartments with shared facilities including a communal lounge, kitchen, activity area, bike store and laundry. The judges praised the project as a considerate and bold re-imagining of a seminal late-20th century building. While the work to the original gallery is a subtle upgrade to its much-loved interiors, the extension is a rich tangle of structure and rough materials to create a dark, uninhibited and materially intense space.
Pioneering research laboratories from a range of departments are gathered into a singular entity, with a series of flexible, digitally-enhanced lab spaces.
