Offering a view into medieval Glasgow, John Gilbert Architects have faithfully reestablished the building’s presence as part of extensive upgrades to future proof the building and collection.

The Gallery of Modern Art is a much loved building in the centre of Glasgow, sitting within the well proportioned Royal Exchange Square. The building dates back to Glasgow’s empirical rise and merchant wealth fuelled by tobacco, sugar and cotton importations and business links to its slave trade past. The Neo-classical Corinthian columns, cupola and…

Another John Gilbert Architects led project that has focused on making healthy efficient homes, that are affordable to heat, whilst sensitively restoring the building and reconfiguring the layout of homes.

These B listed 1969 Basil Spence designed homes have been upgraded as part of a pioneering retrofit project, having had very few external alterations since their completion.

Images from Edinburgh’s incredible Scottish Parliament building taken in changing spring and autumn weather. Great to look closely at Enric Miralle’s remarkable contribution to the city on a few visits to the building.
