High Sunderland, home designed by Peter Womersley for Bernat and Margaret Klein Architecture Film

Описание: High Sunderland by Loader Monteith Architects is a winner of the 2022 RIAS awards and on the shortlist for the prestigious RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award.

The new owners of High Sunderland recognised the house as a building of national importance. This 1957 Category-A listed modernist icon was designed by Peter Womersley for Bernat and Margaret Klein.

It was the job of Loader Monteith to restore the building after it suffered extensive fire damage.

Loader Monteith forensically sifted through the debris, recording the entire structure and salvaging as much of the original material as possible both for reuse and future reference. Along with their clients, they chose to preserve these delicate details, highlighting their commitment not only to the architecture of Peter Womersley, but the personality and use of this over time, and the role it has played in the Kleins' own creative legacy.

The RIAS Doolan Prize for Architecture was established in 2002. Its objective each year is to find and celebrate the best building in Scotland. The award was renamed the RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award in memory of its founder and patron, the inspired architect/developer Andy Doolan, who died in April 2004. The award would not exist without his extraordinary generosity and vision. Andy’s family have kindly continued this support.
