The Glencoe Visitor Centre
Sensitively integrated into an
awesome site, this award-winning
project of GAIA Scotland contains
an wide range of green solutions.
The design is based on a real
understanding of site ecology,
indoor climate, energy
conservation, non toxic materials,
water management. Green
solutions are integrated into an
architecture that expresses a
quietly modern, harmonious
regionalism.
The overall form is a group of small
building volumes, reminiscent of the
traditional regional clachans. There
is a deliberate mix of local
materials, including stone and
timber, and a variety which gives a
“village” feel to the visitor complex.

Healthy Materials 30
The ecology of building materials
Construction materials have effects on three main levels:- Indoor climate and health- Local environment- Global environmentOf these, the first is most important. But the effects on land, water use and energy requirements of producing building materials are one of the major factors in regional environmental damage and global climate change.The effects when materials are discarded or when they burn are also significant.
The GAIA group has worked with this issue for over 20 years, haspublished widely and contributed to new solutions for many areas of construction. Healthy and hygroscopic materials also contribute in a major way to managing humidity in buildings, and reduce the need for expensive ventilation systems.
GAIA projects such as Tollhouse Gardens in Perth (GAIA Scotland), the Low Allergy houses at Bygg for Fremtiden in Stavanger (GAIA Lista / Grimsæth, 1998) and the Eble schools and housing, have been forerunners in designing healthy indoor environments for all.
Lime plasters and even clay which have very small environmental effects and energy use, and outstanding humidity characteristics, are making a renaissance, and these products can now be bought in building stores in other European countries.
Timber is one of the healthiest materials as long as one considers the whole life cycle: forestry must be sustainable, transport distances should be reasonably short, and wood must not be impregnated with toxicchemicals or with artificial finishes which prevent it from breathing. A variety of new solutions are available for using exposed timber which is treated with natural oils or left untreated

The turf roof is laid in the traditional way, with 2 layers of turf,
grass down first, then grass up on top. The turf is held in
place by a log wrapped in birch bark, with juniper hooks
holding it on. The office roof in the second story has a
diamond shaped pattern with white and red sedum varieties.
”Takløk” = ”roof onion” was traditionally used on roofs
because they tolerate dry periods and protect against fire.

The Clay Floor
The floor is a mixture of clay, sand,earth colour pigments and linseed oil. The floor is maintained with Biofa oil and wax.

The Play Ground is made with logs
and creates an obstacle race for all
ages. There is a place for bonfires
in winter when the pond is iced over
and used a s a skating rink. The
star shaped flowerbed infront of the
cafe is sometimes in the summer
converted into a ”stage for stars”.
