Set within the context of the Glasgow City Centre Conservation Area, on a tight 0.06Ha site, bound by Cambridge St and Renfrew St, this proposal presents a radical addition to Glasgow’s skyline. The design was developed for aparthotel operator StayCity and included a mix of 161 studio and 1 bedroom aparthotel rooms.

The overall massing and key elevational datums are driven by the varying contextual conditions. Within the primary frame, depth is created through the introduction of a ‘chevron’ detail, which varies in scale across the facade, responding to key programmatic changes within the building.
