The project At £12m construction cost and 6,000 sqm in area it contains open plan flexible office space and has been designed around and powered by the main airy atrium space at the heart of the building, maximising views around and through the building, and reinforcing connections with the setting. The sense of sitting in the landscape provides an excellent environment for effective working.

“The original minimalist interior provided us with a blank canvas on which we could re-position the entire approach to the rooms. The majority of visitors are well travelled with an increasing awareness of design and operational style; as a result their expectations are higher than ever before. We feel it is critical for hotels to engage with guests in a more imaginative and memorable experience.”

Amazingly according to architect Gareth Hoskins only 10% of visitors in the past ever got above the ground floor. Now the ‘basement’ is the Level 0 entry zone with cloakrooms, shop, brasserie, toilets and ‘group space’. Sandstone vaults have been revealed and with the stone floor and subtle lighting the space works well.

There is a huge gap between how Interior Designers see themselves and how the public see them. The public imagine the Interior Designer as the arranger of cushions of curtains, and specifier of furniture and products, such as ornamental metal letters, while Interior Designers imagine themselves as the creators of environments, using light, material, and space to set a mood or frame an event.

Nightclub Interior : ABC Glasgow
This Sauchiehall St building has been an ice rink, a circus and a cinema. Prior to redevelopment by Michael Laird Architects for Regular Music it was an empty shell. There are numerous bars and a second performance space.

The back of the copper wall was facetted so that we could view slithers of the Heilanman’s Umbrella and an interesting wee classical building on the north of Argyle Street from various points in the Radisson hotel, like from the main feature stair. This five-storey space is naturally lit from above and feature lifts move through the space and guests can look into from the corridors leading to their rooms.

The environment is designed to react to light and the key materials are glass and pale stone. Indian silver greywood veneer panels wrap the solid edges. The glass balustrade sparkles like a huge chandelier and gives another layer of transparancy to the whole composition. The views onto the street are fantastic!”
