Torridon Gateway

Our inspiration was rooted in the intense yet calm landscape of Torridon. The site sits right at the intersection between the steep mountain face with its ancient rocks sweeping down meeting the calm open loch, traversed by the delicate crescent village structure and interactive wilderness nature.

Our proposal for the Torridon visitor centre was to create a viewing platform for people to gather, explore and make meaning of the natural and cultural landscape around them. Bring visitors and interpretation outside under a sheltered deck and combine literal with metaphorical, tangible with intangible - a blend of things, information, sounds and images that can touch both our left- and right-brained ways of making sense of the world around us.
