Built for J&W Campbell & Co., comprising 8 stories including a basement level, this mercantile gem stands at the corner of Ingram Street and Montrose Street in Glasgow’s Merchant City. Six floors of offices and two retail units have been created as well as cycle storage, changing areas and a games room. A large open-plan reception with feature fabric wall leads to a break-out café space overlooking a cemetery to the building’s rear. Extensive internal alterations were stripped out to return the building to its original layout and a lift core inserted at the north end to create a more efficient floor-plate. The building’s original features have been restored including cast iron columns, stone staircases and the factory’s saw-tooth roof.
