As Scotland's first and Europe's largest inland surf destination, Lost Shore Surf Resort was a project we were excited to be involved in from conception.
our response
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.
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.
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.
a holistic design
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.
S+Co also supported the operator, Rogue Village, with signage, branding, menu design and even staff uniforms.
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.
a pioneering project
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.
