Designed by Hoskins Architects, the £1.2 million Playful Garden and Visitor Centre opened at Easter 2018, and the building contains three rooms in its single-storey length – a shop, cafe and soft playroom.
Externally it is clad with rough-sawn Siberian larch and roofed will mill-finished aluminium profiled sheeting, while inside, the dark grey quarry tiled floors contrast with the white walls and ceiling.

President of the RIAS, Robin Webster OBE, commented: “This [shortlist] is an impressive list of buildings that all show the ambitious level of excellence that architects and their clients can achieve, and I hope that communities, government and local authorities, along with everyone else who needs to procure buildings will look at these examples and ensure that their ambitions match them. Our awards celebrate the very best that is being built in Scotland.”
