Timeless: A Harmonious Blend of East and West

Man On Kenneth Ko's Restoration of Crawfordton House in Scotland

The project, aptly named "Timeless," was a unique endeavor for Ko and his team at KENNETH KO Designs Company Ltd. As foreigners, they faced the challenging task of repairing a western historical building. However, they rose to the occasion, preserving the characteristics and historical deposits of the ancient castle with original flavor.

The Crawfordton House, once a symbol of ancient Scottish nobility, was transformed into a space where design aesthetics and regional culture of different centuries collided with artistic sparks. The team's commitment to maintaining the original taste of the ancient Scottish nobility, while making it compatible with modern life, was evident in the final outcome.

What set this design apart was the successful fusion of eastern and western design principles. The team managed to maintain the original flavor of the ancient castle, while introducing elements that made it suitable for modern living. The result was a space that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The project was not without its challenges. As the team navigated the complexities of restoring a historical building, they had to ensure that they did not compromise on the castle's historical integrity. Despite these challenges, the team's dedication and skill shone through, resulting in a design that was both innovative and respectful of the castle's history.

The "Timeless" project was recognized for its outstanding expertise and innovation, earning a Silver in A' Cultural Heritage and Culture Industry Design Award in 2020. This prestigious award is given to designs that showcase a remarkable level of excellence, introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder, and are admired for their strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill.
