Todlaw cited in AJ 'Best of the Decade' review
/ Jan 2, 2010'The Architect's Journal' rated the practice's supported housing at Todlaw, Duns as one of the best Scottish buildings of the past decade.
The citation noted that the "...supported housing at Todlaw has a simplicity and picturesque beauty. This is a a home, Todlaw says again, in almost child-like fashion. Yet the skillfull grouping of blocks in the landscape has a picturesque quality and a sense of homeliness rarely found in the supported housing sector." See 'AJ' page 35, dated 17.12.09
