Working with Cropka Architects, we developed the landscape and bench design for visitor shelters to be located at Achnasheen, Braemore and Lochcarron, Wester Ross, Scotland.

These sculptural modular shelters were designed for easy installation in any location, whilst the landscape design sought to embed the structure into each individual setting. Sculptural bench seating was used as a connective device to link the shelter further into the landscape context, whilst adjusting to the specific conditions of each site. The bench seat references the forms of the shelter on the ground plane, and the simple and robust modular design provides flexible seating for visitors. Native planting and surface treatments were to be adapted for each specific site.
