𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 – 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡, 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐤𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 (𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟓 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬) We're thrilled to have contributed to the Design team collaborating with Whiteburn Projects Limited on the proposals for Viewforth in Kirkcaldy and congratulate Whiteburn on being shortlisted for Development of the year Small (up to 25 units) category at the Homes for Scotland Awards 2024. This endeavour stems from two fruitful public consultations, where we listened closely to the community's input. The resulting designs reflect the desires of the local public, ensuring the development meets their needs and aspirations and with a mix of private sale and affordable housing, this development is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all. We eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the outcome at the Awards lunch on May 17th at the EICC in Edinburgh.

The proposal comprises 6 new-build family homes for CARLSSON PROPERTIES LIMITED at Currievale Park located in the residential area of Currie, Edinburgh. Working alongside Ferguson Planning, Narro and Land Use Consultants LLC, LBA - Architecture + Design have designed a development which positively contributes to the existing context, enhances the site’s biodiversity value and incorporates existing landscape features. The mix of house types provide future occupiers with open plan internal layouts suitable for flexible family living whilst the dwellings have been arranged on the site to create a characterful street scene and prioritise generous private external amenity spaces. We look forward to progressing the technical design stages in due course.

Last Thursday, our graduate architectural designers, Kate Pittendreigh and Caitlin Watson, attended the Women in Property Dundee Launch Event. The event featured two speakers: Robin Presswood, Executive Director of City Development at Dundee City Council and Rebecca Wade MA PhD FRSA AMICE FHEA, Senior Lecturer in the Division of Engineering and Food Sciences at Abertay University, who has recently returned from a voyage to Antarctica, following her participation in the prestigious international Homeward Bound initiative and research on climate change. It was great to see a Women in Property event up north and we look forward to more in the future!

Two of our graduate architectural designers, Kate Pittendreigh and Caitlin Watson, had the pleasure of representing LBA - Architecture + Design on the FAKRO Factory Trip 2024 to Poland recently. They had the opportunity to network with industry professionals, visited the impressive Wieliczka Salt Mine, received an in-depth tour and demonstration at the Corporate Head Office & Production Plant in in Nowy Sącz, participated in an array of winter sports and sampled an abundance of Polish cuisine. A special thank you to Stewart MacKenzie and Charlie Kane, and the team in Poland for hosting them and leading such a well organised and memorable trip.

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫 – 𝐂𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐨𝐧 👋 Caitlin graduated from Robert Gordon University with a BSc in Architecture in 2020 and her Master of Architecture with Distinction in 2023. For Caitlin’s MArch thesis ‘A Renewal is Looming’, the project was completed over two years which looked at designing a recycled plastic textile mill in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. The proposal focused on harvesting waste plastic from the ocean and recycling it into new material, helping to promote a circular economy and an innovative development for the weaving industry. During her Masters, Caitlin was co-president of the 57°10 student architecture society and awarded a place in the Scotland + Venice Professional Development Programme 2023. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫? I chose architecture as a career because I was interested in combining both my interests in art and science, and how I could influence how people live and interact with the built environment. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲? The architectural industry is intertwined with many trades from visual arts to engineering, which allows the opportunity to develop a vast array of knowledge and work with a variety of professionals.
