Housing association offices in Glasgow and a theatre in Perth are among the 19 architectural gems included in a shortlist of Scotland’s best new buildings.
The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) unveiled the 2019 list, saying it showcased the potential to achive an “ambitious level of excellence”.
Among those in the running are the £2.92 million Tollcross Housing Association Offices in Glasgow, The Raining’s Stairs Development in Inverness, Mackintosh at the Willow in Glasgow, the £13m Hendrick’s Gin Palace in Girvan, the Black House on the Isle of Skye, the £80.1m V&A Dundee, and the £11.4m Perth Theatre.
The winners will be announced in Edinburgh on May 30. Robin Webster, RIAS president, said: “This year’s judges were struck by the continuing high standard of submissions and found shortlisting very difficult indeed.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
