The brief to architect fardaa – with whom the client had been friends for 20 years – was to create a restaurant that retained the intimate and simple character of a croft building while maximising the opportunity of the awesome landscape and views across to Ulva and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
The project is in a National Scenic Area, where only projects displaying exceptional design quality and a clear social benefit can be supported. In turn, the architect demonstrated a deep understanding of the nature of the ruin, its setting and the local vernacular of close-grouped structures that form shelter from the elements.
