Sprigg Sauchiehall Street Post 1/3 Sprigg approached O’DonnellBrown to design their new shop in the McLellan Galleries building on Sauchiehall Street located in the north west area of Glasgow city centre. Our starting point was the building the shop unit sits within, built in 1865 and at one time leased to the Glasgow School of Art before the School relocated to Mackintosh’s new building on Renfrew Street only a short walk away, at the end of the 19th Century. Responding to the ethos of the client, ‘simplicity and quality’, the project provided an opportunity to express this through a direct response to Mackintosh, carefully crafted material as part of a simple and considered design, an approach which was close to ODB’s heart - much of our team have been shaped by the school and all it represents. Due to the two relatively recent School fires and ongoing tumultuous times in that area of the city, we set out to provide a ray of hope, a hark to the local past and catalyst for positive change. @wearesprigg @mclellanworks @designengworkshop Photos: @rcphotographist #odonnellbrownarchitects #odonnellbrown #architecture #design #designstudio #glasgowarchitects #architect #sprigg #cafedesign
