Wellwood Leslie recently completed a refurbishment of the courtyard range at the House of Dun in Montrose on behalf of the National Trust for Scotland. The projects aim was to expand and transform the existing visitor experience currently located within the Georgian mansion house designed for David Erskine, the 13th Laird of Dun by celebrated architect William Adam.
Wellwood Leslie Architects were recently commissioned to prepare designs for the refurbishment of an office building in Glasgow City Centre. The interiors of the building, a 1980’s façade-retention scheme, looked tired and dated, the circulation cores – the main entrance foyer, lift lobbies and toilets – in particular, showed their age and were negatively impacting the rental value as a result.
The brief was to create an interior that was more contemporary in feel, with a character that was simple and elegant. The main entrance hall is a primary feature, designed to make a positive impression on the first entry.
A tall, church-like space, its height has been emphasized by luminaires that cast narrow beams of light up the wall. The restricted palate of a few high-quality materials - large format tiling, textured plaster finishes, carefully selected lighting - let the spaces speak for themselves. Bronze super-graphics add an element of colour to the muted palette of materials.
