Baillie Baillie Architects — Sustainable Architects Scotland

On changing little

Occasionally, building requires a setting to be created, or a site to be transformed. In other cases, there’s an overwhelming sense that the less changed or manipulated, the better.

For Those Who Build

…“every architect who strikes or avoids a ‘snag’ ought to open the matter to his fellows”. In the spirit of Edwin Gunn, we want to share our personal experiences of building, snags and all.

Learning by Looking

We design environmentally-responsive buildings, that draw inspiration from historic crofting settlements and their vernacular buildings. Our recent contribution to 'Stories within Our Isles' describes our interest in the Scottish landscape, and it’s history of habitation.

Traces

The Scottish Highlands have a long history of human habitation, and despite the commonly associated misnomer ‘wilderness’, the landscape bears visible traces.
