Durable nature
The project was led by the West Harris Trust, a community charity led by a volunteer board of directors. The Trust commissioned architects Rural Design Ltd to create a building that was striking and modern yet sympathetic to its surroundings. Situated on an undisturbed area of outstanding natural beauty, with views of the beach and machair, the Centre comprises a community space and café, office accommodation and four business units.
Nestled on the coastline, the large modern centre is shaped to reflect the contours of the mountains beyond, with Russwood Scotlarch® board on board cladding chosen for its high quality, durable nature and warmth. The cladding was all fire treated and fixed with patented L-GoFix® MS Screws, which allow maximum anchoring without causing the wood to split, and provide a neat detailing.
