We are delighted to start 2023 with the great news that our project The Bothy and Tùr at Cuningar Loop has been longlisted in the RIBAJ MacEwen Awards!
The Bothy will provide a permanent base for groups and activities throughout the park to encourage a broader range of users and engagement with local communities. The Tùr – or tower – is an accessible viewing point allowing visitors to embrace the expansive views over the park and city.

Qualities of the traditional Scottish Bothy were at the forefront of the design. The compact linear plan derives from the ‘but and ben’ arrangement of traditional bothies with two multifunctional community rooms on either side of a central entrance.
