Croftworks is an ecological architecture practice based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Our work is grounded in a strong connection between the wider landscape and the buildings that we assemble to house ourselves. With a strength of experience in historic restoration, our work also spans creative retrofit and sustainable new-build.
Croftworks draws inspiration from the thrift of crofting, a farming practice that involves making a little go a long way. Crofting involves close attention to the particularities of place, collaboration with natural processes of growth and a creative improvisation with the limited materials to hand. Our practice draws on these to propose a regenerative architecture appropriate to our changing world.
Architecture is an assemblage of parts, materials gathered to serve our needs. Through careful material selection, prioritising local, grown and natural materials, we seek to create places that are beautiful and enjoyable to be in, as well as benefiting a wider landscape. Passive, low-tech, sustainable design principals guide us towards simple, well-crafted, cost-effective solutions.
Founded in 2020 by Theodore Shack, Croftworks is a teaching practice, its members teach architectural design, representation and theory at Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture with research interests in landscape restoration. The practice benefits from involvement and connection to this wider intellectual field and the vitality that these ideas can bring.
Croftworks was previously known as Taigh Solais
