Dutch Village, St Andrews
Originally commissioned to just undertake a condition survey of this listed island RKA saw an opportunity to create a brief with our client about what the future of the island could become.
The Dutch Village is an island within Craigtoun country park, a much loved local destination with fond memories for many in St Andrews of a space to relax, have an ice cream, take a boat out and also host theatre productions. The building has been in disrepair and sat un-used for over 20 years.
These proposals, supported by the National Lottery Heritage fund, allow the island not just to be repaired but to have a new lease of life, providing accessibility for all, a new amphitheatre, new and extended café building, refurbished ice cream hatch for boaters and projected cinema screen out over the water.
In design, in the planning process.
