A new base is to be built in a sensitive parkland setting on the banks of Kinghorn Loch in Fife, to house The Ecology Centre, a charity based community group, who lease space from a nearby farm premises at present. The new building will allow room for expansion of the Ecology Centre’s environmental awareness and education programmes, events and volunteering activities.
E&Co designed the new structure to be framed in engineered timber. A curved green Douglas Fir will frame the low-level glazed exhibition and café area overlooking the loch.
Sheep’s wool insulation and sedum roof assist the green credentials for this aspiring project.
