MDJM announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, MD Local Global Limited, had entered into a design collaboration agreement with Kengo Kuma and Associatesor KKAA, for the renovation and landscape planning of the Fernie Castle cultural destination project in Scotland. This collaboration represents a strategic step toward enhancing both the cultural value and long-term commercial potential of Fernie Castle as part of MDJM’s broader strategy to transform the site into a multi-functional cultural landmark. KKAA is an internationally recognized architectural firm known for integrating traditional aesthetics with modern design, with projects in more than 50 countries across cultural, educational, and public sectors. Under the agreement, KKAA will provide comprehensive architectural and landscape design services for the Fernie Castle site. The redevelopment plan includes the creation of an Oriental-style garden and the planned development of an animation and art museum inspired by models such as Japan’s Ghibli Museum. The museum is expected to collaborate with leading European animation studios to produce works based on classical Eastern literature, with the objective of promoting Eastern cultural values and philosophical themes to audiences in the UK and other parts of Europe.
