In Glasgow’s Merchant City Conservation area, the category B-listed Garment Factory building is one of the city’s most iconic buildings. With 47,382 sq ft of retail and design-focused office space over seven floors, the transformation of this stunning Victorian gem has seen contemporary finishes combined with the restoration of period features such as exposed ceilings, original brickwork, ornate staircases and restored cast-iron columns.
For software developer AutoRek’s new HQ on the fourth floor, architectural practice, Graven, sought to maintain the spacious ‘industrial’ feel of the textile factory’s floor plate through the creation of a flexible, future-proofed studio environment. Working with fit-out contractor akp, this saw Planet provide a range of partitioning systems to create a stunning interior and set a high standard of contemporary workplace design.
