Client Testimonials

We have enjoyed working with some fantastic clients and stakeholders to help them deliver successful projects that they are really proud of.

Here’s what some of them had to say about us:

 

Stuart Dixon, Home Group:

“Ashtree Road is one of several developments we have established in the South Side of Glasgow. We take pride in the design and delivery of our developments and were thrilled to work with Graeme Nicholls on his first big residential project.

We’re extremely proud that the development has won two such prestigious awards; it’s very well deserving.”

Eddie Warde, Glasgow Planning:

“Graeme Nicholls Architects approached the challenge of developing new housing on a vacant site in a regeneration area with imagination.

Their research resulted in proposals containing a historical allusion that has met the client’s brief and is welcomed by the local community.”

Rory Olcayto, Open City:

“Graeme brought our idea - to create a fantasy skyline of London’s best buildings - and combined it with our slogan this year- “People Make Open House” to stunning effect.

On time. On budget. Just on it!”

Raffaele Esposito, City Design Manager, Glasgow City Council:

“Hats off to Graeme Nicholls Architects and their clients for demonstrating that thinking outside the box is not only possible but a necessary requirement to shape a more interesting future Glasgow that we can be proud of!

Looking forward to seeing this scheme coming off of the ground.”

Howard Dawber, Canary Wharf:

“Graeme Nicholls Architects worked with the Canary Wharf Group and architecture charity Open City to help design and deliver our entry to the 2017 Lord Mayors Show.

Their design was elegant but also very practical, enabling us to have a significant presence in one of the world’s oldest street processions. It was, in itself, an architectural form, and thereby was itself an example of exactly the type of accessible architecture promoted by Open City.

We have enjoyed our collaboration with Graeme and look forward to potentially working with him on future projects.”

John Mitchell, Episcopal Church:

“We were delighted beyond belief with the services offered by Graeme Nicholls Architects.

They took a building that had an awkward internal structure, then transformed it into a space that met all of our aspirations for a modern, improved and accessible Diocesan Centre. The finished building met our brief to perfection, offering attractive public areas as well as flexible and secure working spaces for both staff and visitors. They were an absolute pleasure in all of our dealings with them, responding promptly to queries, and offered creative and workable solutions to any problems that arose along the way.”

Graeme Gemmell, Home Group:

“We have been impressed by the approach taken by Graeme Nicholls from the earliest discussions regarding the project.

Graeme’s incorporation of some elements which reflect this heritage was cleverly done without delivering anything clichéd. Our local consultation process was extremely successful and the bold approach to the design of the new building was met with strong support locally.

The Ashtree development is valuable and a very popular addition to our housing portfolio and we hope to work again with Graeme Nicholls Architects in the near future.”

Richard Waite, Architects’ Journal:

“Graeme Nicholls Architects is one of the most exciting of Glasgow’s new wave of up-and-coming design talent. The practice’s output is thoughtful and inventive yet build-able and contextual.

They are clearly a design-driven studio and undoubtedly a name to watch.”

John Jack, Merchant Homes:

“We have a great relationship with Home Group and were proud to work with them to deliver the mid-market rent properties at Ashtree Road.

Graeme Nicholls Architects did a fantastic job with the flats and they have made a real impact in the area.”
