St Kilda Visitor Center is a proposal by Reiulf Ramstada and Dualchas Architects designed in 2016. It is located in Uig Scotland in a seaside setting. Its scale is medium. Key materials are glass and stone. Concepts such as cantilever viewpoint organic and rural are explored.
The St Kilda Visitor Center will be located on a cliff-top site at Geodha Sgoilt in the Uig area of the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Through the project, visitors will be able to experience the drama of St Kilda without physically visiting the famous archipelago, which lies over 50 miles to the southwest. A world heritage site, St Kilda is famous not only for its sea cliffs and marine life but more for the story of how a community survived at the remote location before being evacuated in 1930. By telling the story of this abandoned community, the current community of Uig hopes to catalyze economic development and reverse the population decline they have been suffering.
