Special guest, Christopher Clayton Davis, shares some background to the inspiration and history of Gatehouses in Scotland.

Steeped in original character, the steading comprises atmospheric event spaces yet this multifunctional Ptolemy Dean Architects-designed space is one for the 21st century.

It may seem like an easy decision to condemn a crooked, weather-worn, outbuilding. But often these vernacular buildings are worth saving. Sometimes, within their structure and materials you can learn more about the history of a place than you could from the pages of a book. And sometimes they are the critical piece in a project that links past to present.

We believe that the success of each of our projects is testament to the passion, skill and continued personal and professional development of our team. At the heart of everything we do, we strive to provide our people with a nurturing, supportive working environment allowing them to thrive, grow and fulfil their ambitions and potential.

This beautiful Ptolemy Dean Architects designed boathouse that we have been working on with the talented team at Carpenter Oak is set to be the perfect finishing touch to a five-year renovation/restoration of a Category A listed Highland castle.

In recent years sustainability, environmental impact and social responsibility have become key parts of the conversation when planning restoration or renovation projects with clients.

Our new MD, Daniel Tweats, has succeeded his father and company founder, Mike. A renowned stonemason specialist with vast experience across numerous prestige projects, Mike has passed the passion for quality and authenticity to Daniel.
