NEWS: C20 Society is backing a coalition of leading Scottish heritage and design organisations that have joined forces to save and restore the Bernat Klein Studio, as it is put up for sale by public auction at the end of the month.
The Bernat Klein Foundation, @N_T_S, and @SHBT, have launched a coalition bid, supported by @HeritageFundUK, to buy the Category A listed modernist masterpiece and create a new venue to inspire creative arts in the Scottish Borders, bringing the building back into public and community use.
Despite a misleadingly low auction guide price, recent estimates of restoration costs undertaken by specialist advisers are a minimum of £2.5 – £3 million. To give the coalition the best chance of success in acquiring the building, an urgent fundraising appeal has been launched: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/saving-p…
