After a controversial planning process the MacKenzie Place allotments, Edinburgh have now received planning permission. Part of the next phase of the project is the construction of a communal shed designed by Sutherland Hussey Architects. Acting as the central organising building on the site, the shed will be constructed from locally sourced timber and will provide shelter, warmth and a conversation space for the allotment tenants.

Sutherland Hussey haven’t built anything in Edinburgh despite being based in the city for 14 years.

The Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland was among those to say it backed the design.
