Andrew Black Design has started work to draw up designs for a new multi-million pound leisure complex in Perthshire.
The Dundee-based firm has secured planning permission for the development, which will see a new two-storey facility built at the 22-acre Loch Earn Leisure Park.
The complex will replace an existing lounge bar and a former steading to incorporate a restaurant/bar, entertainment / function space, children’s play area and fully-equipped fitness suite. The building will also accommodate a workshop and back-of-house areas to support the running and maintenance of the park.
Ian McCormack, Managing Director of Perthshire Caravans, the park's owners, said: "By providing this impressive, state-of-the-art facility, we will not only meet but exceed the expectations of our discerning client base and provide a fantastic community resource for those who live in and around Loch Earn.
"While complementing our offer, we also hope that the complex will help boost the local tourist industry, attracting more people into the area throughout the year and not just during the busy holiday season."
Andrew Black said: "We are extremely excited about the plans which add a new dimension to our growing portfolio of commercial projects. The lower level will be built into the existing slope, elevating the upper floor level to maximise views across Loch Earn and the surrounding area.
"As much material as possible will be re-used from the ruined steading to increase the use of natural materials. Large feature windows, and an elevated decking area to the North elevations, will make the most of these magnificent views and the use of stone for the lower level and timber cladding for the upper level should allow the building blend into its surroundings."
The project, which is being carried out in partnership with Algo Design and Build, is due to commence construction later this year.
