- Project 1 : Life-Long Learning
- Retreat.
The Life-Long Learning Retreat, located in the town centre of Fort William offers a hub of creativity for visitors and residents of the town. Providing a connection to the Scottish Highlands historical industries as the workshop spaces of this multi-use building allows an interactive experience with the traditional and contemporary processes relating to wool production.
The material choices both internal and external create a connection with context of the site as it can be sourced from local existing industries. The material choice also reflects the atmospheric qualities of wool as the selected workshop material.
The proposal communicates a series of elegant and delicate design descisions which engage and connect with the immediate context, the existing site, level changes, orientation, urban structure and natural light, all resolved within the compact site and building.

The combined submission of Principles of Building 3, Structural Design 3 and Environmental Design 3 with the studio project enriched the learning experience and enhanced the overal project output.
