A redevelopment of shore facilities at Ardfern Yacht Centre by Richard Robb Architects

The existing marina which currently services a number of yachts for repairs and maintenance is split between the boat shed and the chandlery. Richard Robb Architects sought to rationalize the existing facilities with proposed improved facilities and chandlery building by rearranging the marina to form a natural divide between commercial and public functions.

By improving the aesthetics of the site and the services offered Ardfern Marina will become a destination for land based visitors and be in a position to apply for Gold Anchor accreditation from the Yacht Harbour Association (THyA)

The project of redeveloping the shore side facilities at Ardfern is the next step in the on going development and expansion of Ardfern Yacht Centre. The overall concept is to improve the quality of shore side facilities offered to the resident and visiting berth holders while increasing the capacity of those facilities to underpin future expansion of the pontoon system. Ideally all shore side facilities, including stock storage would be housed within one large modern building. It is envisaged that by improving the aesthetics of the site and improving those services and facilities offered Ardfern Yacht Centre would become a destination for land based visitors also. After completion of the project it is envisaged Ardfern Yacht Centre would be capable of achieving at least the 3 Gold Anchor Award from The Yacht Harbour Association (THYA).
