A four-storey castellated loggia is proposed for the demolished west facade to provide new accommodation, connected directly to the past through the use of traditional lime harling, coursed rubble and ashlar sandstone. A conservation-led low-carbon strategy is being employed for the reimagining, centered on the application of a breathable envelope of hemp and lime insulation to improve thermal performance while preventing the build-up of moisture.
By undertaking a holistic conservation approach, the regeneration of this derelict, historic castle can contribute significantly to the wider cultural, historical and economic wellbeing of the area of Hawick, and the Scottish Borders as a whole.
Interventions extend to the castle grounds with the reinstatement of formal landscaping such as a walled garden and repairs to a Georgian ha-ha.
