Urban Planning

Won through National Competititon this design delivers a focal point within the "Narrows" of Stornoway. Constructed in wood from the Castle Grounds and Lewisian Gneiss it incorporates a stainless steal sail symbolising North and the latitude of Stornoway together with a Gaelic incription by Derick Thompson, "Half-recognising each by his kin, a knowing-without-remembering, and a remembering-without-knowing." Compass points are intergrated into the design through rainbow uplighters. Beneath the whole construction lays a secret time capsule......

Commisioned by Stornoway Port Authority to examine a vision for the outer harbour / Newton Basin.

Our involvement with this project was to develop a masterplan for housing, both private and shared equity.
