Michael Laird Architects (MLA) has announced the opening of a new office in Glasgow to support its growing portfolio of projects in the West of Scotland.

The practice said the new office will increase support to its existing and future clients, with a view to further strengthening of the business.

The office will be led by Stuart Watters together with Gillian Stewart who has recently joined the practice to enhance and reinforce MLA’s business in Scotland and beyond.

Director Stuart Watters said: “Our business has been growing steadily in recent times and as we expand as an organisation, committing to a new office in Glasgow is the natural next step for MLA. With Gillian joining us, that brings another dimension to an already strong team, we are extremely excited about the future and we are very much looking forward to the continued growth of our design practice.”
