Purcell is celebrating ten years of working in Scotland. From churches and schools to castles and private residentials, here's a round-up of some of our Scottish projects from the last decade.
Blair Castle
Blair Castle enjoys one of Scotland’s finest settings in the heart of Highland Perthshire. Following a fire in March 2011, Purcell was asked to repair and restore the clock tower destroyed in the fire to accommodate the estate archive, improve energy efficency across the Category A-listed castle and restore historic features.
Z Hotel
The Z Hotel in Glasgow required building consent, planning and renovation to transform it from a former print works into a 104 bedroom hotel.
Parkhead School
Purcell developed Parkhead School to provide a new entrance and spaces for office and community use. Purcell undertook alterations to dilapidated Category B-listed school for Glasgow building Preservation Trust.
Private Residential, Edinburgh
Purcell developed a new build five bedroom residence for a private client. The clients wanted a light, open and elegant feel to the house and to create ‘a modern but timeless’ piece of architecture that worked within its suburban context with a low carbon footprint.
St Andrew’s Hall
We worked on the B-listed 1813 former church hall to provide proposals for the alteration of commercial uses as part of the Edinburgh St James masterplan.
James Craig Walk
Purcell worked on proposals for the restoration of B-listed 1870 townhouses to form residential accommodation as part of the Edinburgh St James masterplan.
Donaldson’s College
Purcell undertook a condition survey to inform proposals for residential development within Category A-listed school.
Leith Community Croft
The Edinburgh studio has completed a feasibility study for the reuse of a 1914 tennis pavilion to provide a home for Crops In Pots, Edinburgh. The charity educates the community on growing allotment produce and provides 120 crofting plots. The building will provide offices, farm shop, café, training, and community spaces.
Culzean Castle
We've just completed a new entrance and sculptures in the designed landscape and approach to the Category A-listed castle in Ayrshire, a magnificent cliff-top castle estate.
National Mining Museum Scotland
Purcell worked on the alterations to the 1932 former coal re-washer building. It has created Scotland’s first mining memorial museum to engage the public in the history of mining in Scotland.
