Ted Swift, co-director of Maich Swift, presents the practice’s design for a grouping of artist residency timber studios, set within 1300 acres of farmland on the Bamff Estate in North East Perthshire, Scotland. The proprietors of the estate have in place a long term strategy to create a richly biodiverse area of wild land replacing 166 hectares of marginal farmland and plantations. As part of the ongoing reforestation of the estate, native and deciduous trees have been planted; Oak, Juniper, Scots Pine, Rowan, Holly, Birch and Hazel. The scheme includes the repair of existing stone buildings, formerly the gamekeeper’s cottage and ancillary buildings, as well as the introduction of new timber structures, using simple construction methods.
