Westmorland Ltd
Rheged (“The Village in the Hill”) is one of the largest grass roofed buildings in Europe. The wealth of facilities includes a large format film theatre and pre-show area, exhibition spaces, conference and meeting facilities, cafes and restaurants, kid’s play area, retail areas… Despite the large floor area and height of the building the design minimises the impact on the surrounding area by disguising it as a Cumbrian hill. Rheged, however, is not a cave. When the visitor enters through a small “tunnel” they are met by a cavernous space that is full of natural light which floods in through a series of high level rooflights and vertical glass walls.

Cairngorm Chairlift Company
The £15m (2001) project consisted the replacement of an existing chairlift system with a funicular railway and the provision of major new buildings within the Cairngorm Ski Area. The site is at high altitude on the northern edge of the Cairngorm, whose fragile environment was recognized as being of international conservation importance. UJP worked closely with Highlands Council and Scottish National Heritage. The remoteness and exposure of the site challenged the team to logistically organise the project around the short periods when construction was possible.

Field Studies Council
The overall goal of this 5 year development and refurbishment programme is to re-establish the Millport site as the UKs premier marine teaching location.
The project comprised the upgrade and enhancement of 32 of the on-site twin bedrooms in this residential education centre. This spectacular site in the Clyde basin posed the construction team a few logistical challenges, not least the short ferry ride! The project also included upgrades to the exhibition spaces and replacement of the aquarium in the Robertson building within the campus.
This latest project for the FSC follows completed projects in their other locations of Blencathra, Castlehead, Dale Fort, Malham Tarn, Preston Montford, and Slapton Ley.

Langdale Leisure Ltd
Interior Design by Devlin Design
The Existing Gateway timeshare offices were located in a 2 storey, stone building which was one of the original estate buildings when it became a resort in the 1980s. Site circulation and facilities were completely re-thought. The concept was to bring together the Gateway meeting room, hotel reception and sales office into one resort reception building and management suite. The completed building includes extensions to the original, removal of internal walls to create generous open plan offices and customer welcome areas. The design echoes the themes and materials used in the successfully completed Brimstone Hotel.
