Life-Long Learning Retreat SW3A 2025
Fort William, Lochaber, Scotland.
Located at the western end of the Fort William High Street, the proposed Lifelong Learning Wool and Textile Retreat is a modern interpretation in the style of a traditional textile mill. I have designed a structure that incorporates, locally recovered stone, steel and reflects the historical ambience of Fort William. The concept that inspired the design is influenced by dry stone walling which would have been used to build enclosures for the flocks and for the basic properties built upon the tenure plot where the crofters lived and worked.
