“The project is a new institute for the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, partially reusing the derelict buildings of a property on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow City Centre. The site’s unique proportions, with significant depth relative to its narrow width, have defined the design, necessitating solutions for daylight access and efficient circulation. A key decision was to incorporate the adjacent gap site, which allows daylight to reach further into the site. This also forms a welcoming outdoor space next to the institute, which is withdrawn from, yet connected to, the busy street.”
