In August 2025 Cove Park confirmed a major award from The Bridge Awards for the development of a new workspace for musicians and sound artists. This award coincided with Cove Park’s 25th anniversary year and a new programme of residencies for national and international artists, commissions, and special events.

This month, we are delighted to confirm the appointment of the multi award-winning architecture practice Cameron Webster Architects (CWA) for the design of Sound Studio and an adjacent new unit of residency accommodation.

CWA is a multi-award-winning Glasgow based architecture practice of dedicated professionals whose partners have 30 years of experience in designing buildings across all genres, with a particular specialism in high-end bespoke houses. CWA’s approach to design is contemporary with an emphasis on sustainability. Its client focused methodology has led to a range of high-profile projects featuring a meticulous attention to detail, light and materials, resulting in buildings with uplifting interiors that sit seamlessly within their surroundings.

The practice has a strong track record of outstanding work across the Loch Lomond National Park and Argyll & Bute. Recent examples of their work in this region include Rock Cove (Cove), Lunga Bothies (Ardfern), and Loch Etive Bothies (Bonawe, Loch Etive). As one of Scotland’s most recognised small practices, CWA’s experience and skill will be of significant value to the design of Sound Studio.

CWA were also the architects of The Jacobs Building at Cove Park, a beautiful, flexible, and generous space for Cove Park’s residents, programme participants, and visitors. Completed in 2016 – and named after Cove Park’s founders Eileen and Peter Jacobs – today’s announcement comes as the Jacobs Building embarks upon its second decade and continues to offer outstanding spaces for research, meetings, workshops, performances, dinners, and other special events.

Sound Studio will be a soundproofed and acoustically designed muti-use space designed with the needs of musicians and sound artists in mind. CWA will work on the acoustic treatment with White Mark, a leading international consultancy specialising in world-class recording studios and acoustic environments. The design team and Cove Park are supported by Project Manager John Alexander, of the Glasgow-based company Alexander PM.
