Architects build for future with move

A NEW era has begun for an Arbroath architectural practice.

And Voigt Architects’ move into the harbour visitor centre building has brought the town’s one-time tourist information centre back into use.

The move is just 400m from the firm’s former premises. But the firm says the modern studio is an ideal location from which to take the award-winning business into the future.

Director Jonathan Reeve said: “We were keen to retain our practice in Arbroath to serve our loyal local client base and new clients.

“We looked at various locations. The studio had been sitting empty for some time, but the space is superb and the location is great.

“This feels like an exciting new step for the practice. And we are delighted we are doing it with the superb team that we have.

“We are very fortunate to be working on a number of exciting projects, from very small to large.”

Those include a new visitor centre at the family-owned Arbikie distillery just up the Angus coast.

And the company has harnessed the latest 3D and VR software. It allows clients to enjoy a virtual walk-through of their project.

The chartered architects’ practice is led by managing director Maureen King, alongside fellow directors Robert Burness, Kenny Falconer, Lee Fotheringham and Jonathan Reeve.
