West Burn Lane in St Andrews wins best building in Scotland award

West Burn Lane, designed by Sutherland Hussey Harris and built by Ogilvie Construction, has clinched the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland Andrew Doolan award for 2015.

 

The winners received a cheque for £25,000 at the prize giving event at the National Museum of Scotland.

 

Fiona Hyslop, culture secretary, said: "Once again, both the worthy winner and the strength of this year’s shortlist for the RIAS Andrew Doolan Award have shown that the quality of Scotland’s new architecture stands shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world.

 

 

 

The full judges’ citation said the commercial residential development was "expertly woven into the existing fabric of St Andrews, although uncompromisingly contemporary, the development acknowledges the historic street pattern and scale of its special context. "The external materials palette is limited and of extremely high quality.

 

"While the built fabric in the vicinity is predominantly structural stone, the use of a warm continental brick with narrow courses is appropriate and welcoming."

 

The building was selected from a short list of 12 projects.
