Hotel Le Monde

Drawing inspiration from the world’s great capitals, we created a stunning, chic hotel that compliments Le Monde’s cosmopolitan clientele and ethos.

All of the suites and bars are based on iconic world cities creating a bespoke hotel full of surprises. The tariff continues the international traveller theme in which guests can choose from three different room types: club class, world class and different class – all individuallystyled, with exacting attention to detail and design.

Our brief was to create a tasteful destination for visitors and residents to enjoy the ambience of Le Monde’s Milan, Vienna or Paris bars or the sleek Club Tokyo, ensuring there was room for all tastes.  The hotel has gone on to win a number of Scottish and UK awards.

Balvicar Street Housing Glasgow

The site sits on the curtelidge of Queens Park on the South side of Glasgow overlooking the park and a pond and adjacent to a grade a listed church.

The clients aspiration was create an open façade to the park with a fully glazed south facing park elevation whilst the street façade created a more modest intervention using a palette of materials complimentary to the surrounding streetscape. All the apartments sold off plan and the site proved hugely successful.

Park Quadrant Glasgow

Competition winning design to complete the missing piece of Charles Wilson’s 1850’s Park Circus design, in the West End of Glasgow.

This solution pays reference to Wilson’s original unrealized design in forming a strong street frontage reflecting the curvature of Park Quadrant, while creating a bold contemporary interpretation of a 21st century tenement.

The 1.5 acre gap site on the north edge of Park Circus accommodated 100 luxury apartments and 6 mews houses.  Double height penthouse apartments occupied the upper two levels of this seven storey design, facilitating spectacular views north and south over the city.
