The proposal features a 181-bed student residence with associated amenities and a large central lightwell that draws light into the centre of the scheme. The site, currently occupied by the vacant Jumping Jaks nightclub, has inspired debate and discourse because of its proximity to the Mackintosh School of Art building, a Grade A listed landmark. The proposals were created working in close collaboration with key stakeholders, including Glasgow City Council and Historic Environment Scotland. The proposal for the site is both sympathetic to its surroundings, thoroughly informed by comprehensive research and addresses key environmental performance criteria.
