Dualchas Building Design

The RIBA have announced that Raasay Hall  by Dualchas Building Design is one of ten Scottish buildings that have won a 2011 RIBA Award. 

Practice partner, Alasdair Stephen said: " It is fantastic that Raasay Hall has won this award.  It shows that this is an important building, not just for Raasay but for Scotland.

The building is a tribute to strong community that were dedicated to great quality, despite a limited budget.   It is an exemplar of how a good client can achieve great things by having confidence in their own abilities and culture"

Sholto Humphries, president of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, said: "Ten awards is a fantastic result and a record for Scotland.

"The RIBA Awards are UK recognition of excellence in architecture and, from this result, it is clear that Scottish architectural talent is competing strongly, both within the UK and more widely.

RIBA president Ruth Reed said: “These well-designed buildings will add huge value to the lives, prosperity, health and pride of their owners, users and communities and I am delighted with this year’s selection. We are promised an interesting RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist.”
