The move reflects BDP’s values and vision for creativity, sustainability, and collaboration. The architecture-led design consultancy sought a property that blended characterful, inspiring architecture with modern amenities and sustainability credentials in a prime city-centre location.

It will now occupy the second floor of The Grosvenor Building, which sits directly opposite Glasgow Central Station. The 1859 A-listed building, initially conceived as a warehouse with retail space, features additions by architect J H Craigie that transformed it into a prominent office space.

Surrounded by iconic Glasgow architecture, including Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s designs and the Grand Central Hotel, the building offers an ideal environment for BDP’s creative practice.

The new studio features an exposed structural soffit ceiling to highlight the building’s robust character while maximising natural light from the central lightwell. BDP has undertaken a biophilic-inspired fit-out using natural materials such as timber, linoleum, and living plants to create a workplace that is both contemporary and conducive to collaboration.

Scott Mackenzie, principal and head of the Glasgow studio at BDP, said: “The Grosvenor Building offers a unique opportunity to bring our Glasgow team together in a space that reflects our creative identity.

“We have transformed the second floor into a bright, open, and sustainable studio that respects the building’s heritage while providing a modern environment for collaboration and design. It is a privilege to occupy such a historically significant space and contribute to the ongoing legacy of Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson’s architecture in Glasgow.”
