George House, Glasgow

street presence
refurbishment
commerical
connection

This refurbishment project, at one of the most prominent locations in Glasgow’s city centre, connects George House with George Square both visually and physically.

George House on George Square in Glasgow deserves a street presence worthy of such a prominent location. Our proposal refurbishes the street entrance to the Grade-A office space on the upper floors. It also converts the existing street-level office space into two high-value commercial units. An additional quarter of lettable floor space has been created by infilling the existing colonade.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing brings the internal spaces flush to the street, opening them to George Square. External seating added in front of the commercial units further enhances the connection between George House and George Square, encouraging the public to engage with the building.
