‘The Kett le’ cafe-kiosk in Dunollie Estate is, to date, the most structurally ambiti ous live-build project delivered by Tiree-based Tog Studio.
‘The Kett le’ reinterprets techniques of ti mber joinery and digital fabricati on, first experienced on the Tiree Boathouse project, to produce a subtle, yet magical canti levering structure. The structural system is concealed within the familiar form of a dual-pitched shed, but manifests into a cut away corner that theatrically opens up the serving counter to the garden of the Dunollie Museum and Castle grounds.
‘The Kett le’ sits comfortably as a contemporary additi on to the historic estate by referencing the forms of the adjacent 1745 house. Clad in blackened larch, the exterior nods to the black kett le that founded the museum’s collecti on, whilst connecti ng the building to the surrounding woodland. Diligent considerati on has been given to the details and limited material palett e of the building to achieve a strikingly minimalist appearance. The blackened larch cladding wraps its way from wall to roof with uninterrupted clean edges. In contrast, the exposed interior is finished with an enti cingly warm blonde larch, which lures visitors in to shelter, linger on the recessed seati ng, survey the inbuilt display case, and select a cake that was freshly baked inside.
