Atacama developed an interpretive strategy that connected the Bute family story with the house, gardens and estate. The work extended from film and visitor routes to exhibition panels, mapping, printed guides, waymarking and the original Trust website.

The scheme brought different visitor touchpoints into a shared narrative. Atacama also undertook principal photography and commissioned specialist creative contributions where the project required them.
