Description

Nestled beside the A707 near Selkirk, the Bernat Klein Studio is a striking piece of late Modernist architecture by Peter Womersley, built in 1972 as a creative hub for renowned textile designer Bernat Klein.

Conceived as both a working studio and exhibition space, it celebrated the intersection of industrial craftsmanship and artistic vision.

A two‐storey concrete and brick structure with powerful horizontal cantilevers, wide frameless glazing, and a brick-clad central service core—housing stairs, kitchen, and toilets—to free up the perimeter for workspaces and storage.

Influenced by Wright’s Fallingwater and Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, it remains a masterpiece of structural elegance integrated into its wooded landscape.

The Bernat Klein Studio is located in Selkirk, in the Scottish Borders, specifically at High Sunderland
