Our client’s brief:
It all began in February 2024, when CEO and founder Colin Matthews invited us to share our story and portfolio of past work. From that meeting came the opportunity to take on this remarkable project - guided by a brief that was simple but powerful: “Scottish Contemporary.”
What followed was an incredible design journey - one that took us back through a thousand years of craft and innovation. From ancient Japanese timber treatments and traditional structural frames, to today’s frameless glass technologies and digitally crafted detailing, we explored the full spectrum of design and making. Along the way, we experimented with floating slate and timber on glass, embracing the balance between craftsmanship and modern ingenuity.
We reimagined the existing buildings to house the new gin still, and in doing so, pushed the structural boundaries of the space. The new atrium roof proudly features timbers reclaimed from the 100-year-old Fergusons Chocolate Factory in Cathcart - just a stone’s throw from our Glasgow workshop - continuing the story of Scottish material heritage and craft.
