A MidCentury Shop In Scotland

My shop was never designed to be pretty. It was built to work. Every decision leaned toward function, and if the aesthetics didn’t quite follow, so be it. I don’t regret that approach at all. But as I’ve gotten older, and the all-night thrash sessions have become fewer and farther between, I’ve started to appreciate spaces that put a little more emphasis on comfort and atmosphere. Not above function, but closer to it.

Which brings me to Nick Grant and his vintage-inspired workshop in Scotland.

There’s something about the way he’s blended a proper working shop with a space you actually want to spend time in. It’s not just tools and tasks, it’s a place to sit, think, hang out, and enjoy the process. That balance is hard to get right, and he nailed it.

I’m completely taken with it.

Anyway, have a look through the gallery.
