Kingussie house extension wins architectural award
The extension to a house in Kingussie has scooped one of the top prizes at the Highland and Islands Architectural Awards.
LDN Architects took the award for best small project with their Millstones II project in the village.
Am Fasgadh, the archive at the Highland Folk Museum, also picked up a commendation in the best project overall category.
Presenting the awards, Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) Secretary Neil Baxter praised the high standards of entries.
He said: “The Highlands and Islands produces the highest level of entries for awards pro rata in Scotland. This reflects the exceptional quality of the work being done across the region.”
The Inverness Architectural Association (IAA) Awards have been held every two years since 2008.
The awards aim to raise awareness of the importance of good design and architecture.
Organised by the IAA – the chapter of the RIAS that covers the Highlands and Islands – they feature a range of categories, including prizes for best new building and best restoration.
