Our response

As Scotland's first and Europe's largest inland surf destination, The Lost Shore Surf Resort was a project we were excited to be involved in from conception. Based in a disused quarry to the West of Edinburgh, the complex comprises Wavegarden powered cove technology to generate continuous waves for surfers, plus three central hub buildings and accommodation pods.

As the lead concept architect and interior designers, we created a uniquely flexible hospitality space to enhance the experience. Centred around a warm snug with a log-burning stove, the social hub 'Canteen' is made up of three kitchens for rotating guest restaurants, plus a bar, dining area, lounge, and events space.

Inspired by skate ramp structures and Scotland's long heritage of boat building, the interior design ethos was taken right through to furniture design & specification and S+Co supported the operator, Rogue Village, with signage, branding, menu design and even staff uniforms.

Surfing is all about community, and Canteen is a cohesive and flexible F&B offering designed for individuals and families who love surfing, but also want good food and a place to gather.

We built a team tailored to the unique opportunities and challenges of this project, ensuring a joined-up approach to cover architecture, interiors, strategy and brand enabling us to craft a holistic, world-class visitor experience. 

Our work was recognised with a special one-off ‘Design Innovation’ award at the 2025 Scottish Design Awards. The award was created to recognise the "unique excellence" of the pioneering project.
