Saracen House
Saracen street, Glasgow G22
JBG - Jobs and business glasgow (formerly Glasgow Development Agency) commissioned the conference centre and offices next to the grade-B listed library in Saracen Street to raise the quality of the area. The natural stone colonnade with huge picture windows to the main street reflect the history of the area. The conference centre and offices are protected from traffic noise by triple-glazed windows whose floor-to-ceiling heights - along with the absence of columns - create a feeling of spaciousness.
The offices are so appealing that we moved in. The level of thermal insulation is so good that we have never had the heating on.

The challenge of this remodelling project was to keep the existing four-storey residential building above in operation. The semi-circular floor plan created challenges in planning a 25-seat meeting room and training suite. The design creates a huge rectangular room within the semi-circular footprint. This involved major structural challenge to remove a column within
the existing offices, which supported all four floors. The conference centre is finished in oak panelling.
