BBC Pacific Quay had its opening ceremony today — the culmination of two and a half years of work, learning, blood, sweat and tears!

Prime Minister Gordon Brown opened the building officially.

We have designed the interior to encourage and nurture creativity, to inspire staff, and to promote collaboration.

The reception area is open to the public so please go there and play with the interactives, or have a coffee and see if you can spot Dougie Vipond.


Burrellopolis: The Burrell Company — The First 25 Years

Posted: July 7th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: News | Comments Off on Burrellopolis: The Burrell Company — The First 25 Years

We were commissioned by our old friends and clients The Burrell Company to design an exhibition to document and celebrate their 25th anniversary.

These are the guys who were the first architects in Scotland to become developers — and in doing so became a new kind of enlightened client, working with many of the most creative architects in the country. This exhibition accompanies the newly published book, charting their remarkable portfolio of built and un-built projects over the quarter century.

The exhibition runs at the Lighthouse from 24 August until 7 October 2007.

Harry Smith complex complete

Posted: July 7th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: News | Comments Off on Harry Smith complex complete

We have just completed the interior design of the Harry Smith complex, an Adult Resource Centre. The centre opens today.

We have collaborated with South Lanarkshire Social Work Department over a number of years, working on a variety of projects such as children’s units, Dementia Care Homes and Resource Centres.

Our objective is always to help de-institutionalise these environments, but also to create practical and effective solutions.

We have created a flexible environment for the service users by day that can also be used as an enjoyable, dynamic environment for the local community to hire; anything from evening receptions to wedding parties.
