Stallan-Brand

Stallan-Brand are working on an artist and community led initiative for a new public space that would support a wide range of urban sports. The site is located within a large industrial hinterland under a motorway flyover in South Glasgow. The project aims to provide new connections between neighbouring communities and turn a vacant backland space into a dynamic throughfare and active destination.

The Stallan-Brand gallery is currently host to Paintings 2018 - 2024, a collection of work by Edinburgh-based artist Pat Fisher. The paintings on display are non-objective, visual exercises and experiments, that put practice and process before theory. The paintings are made with painstaking slowness, using what can be best described as resist methods, of oil paint on (mainly) aluminium where the paint sits hard on the non-porous, smooth surface, vital so that the geometric lines and forms can be controlled to achieve a taut image. No arbitrary marks or accidents are included. There are no detailed sketches for the paintings as the slowness of the process, the need to allow each layer to dry before another mark can be made alongside, creates the rigour needed. The exhibition will run until the 8th of March. 

Stallan-Brand are presently on site delivering one of the first phases of the ambitious Dundashill residential project on former industrial site that overlooks the entire city of Glasgow. A mix of 78 sustainably-constructed three and four bedroom townhouses around an ingeniously designed sunken garden and sustainable urban drainage feature. 

The practice is excited to see our Earlston Primary School taking shape in the Scottish Borders. Presently under construction this new community building will be an important addition to the towns High Street whilst also providing a new elevated south facing landscape with spectacular views over the countryside.

The Tain Community Campus in the Scottish Highlands is beginning to emerge from its site. Our design concept prioritised keeping the buildings profile low and cut into the landscape given the spectacular surrounding horizons and skies.  

Stallan-Brand's involvement with the transformation of Clyde Place and Barclays’ Glasgow campus was central in the project winning four British Council for Offices (BCO) Awards.

The Stallan-Brand gallery is host to Artists of Scotland, a new exhibition by Glasgow-based documentary photographer Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert, in which he has visited and photographed over 115 artists in their studios across Scotland. The exhibition will be open weekdays 10 am - 5 pm until the 21st of December. The full set of portraits is available to view at www.jeremysuttonhibbert.com. 

A huge congratulations to Senior Architect Rowan Morrice who has recently achieved Conservation Accreditation. Rowan has been instrumental in the sensitive delivery of various conservation initiatives undertaken by the Stallan-Brand studio, including the transformational Union Terrace Gardens. 

The team are excited to see the unveiling of the next phase of townhouses at our Laurieston project. 

The practice are presently engaged in a pre-consultation process in preparation for lodging a planning application for a new 'hotel for music lovers' at SWG3, Glasgow's most innovative cultural venue. 

Situated behind our cultural client SWG3's estate, in consultation with neighbours, resident artists, staff and the wider local community, 3,200m² of wasteland has been redesigned into a thriving green space. After being registered as derelict by Glasgow City Council for over a decade, the land has been completely remodelled into a truly shared space for the community to grow, plant, play and create.

The practice has been appointed to advise on the conversion and remodelling of Telephone House in Dundee, an iconic brutalist office building constructed entirely from a robust and characterful pre-cast concrete system. The prospect of re-imagining this monolithic structure, helping find a new use for the building, capturing its embodied carbon is one the studio is looking forward to.

The practice are currently advising City of Edinburgh Council on the refurbishment of a series of high-rise residential blocks. The buildings are an unusual in that they incorporate a mix of flats and duplex apartment with deck access arrangements. The opportunity exists to super insulate and glaze the external circulation to create communal winter garden spaces for residents. 

The practice are presently considering a major masterplan and development opportunity in the centre of Stockport. The team are immersing themselves in the towns history and industrial past. Fascinated by the architectural paintings of a local artist Helen Clapcott, work that is helping us understand the rich characterful context and vernacular.

Our Jedburgh community campus was shortlisted as one of five, for Scotland's most prestigious architectural award the Doolan Prize. The award recognises the best buildings in Scotland. The practice narrowly missed out to a beautifully crafted project, a small office and cafe by Moxon Studio. We take nothing away from the judges decision in this respect, however we remain resolute that our Jedburgh project remains the most important socially progressive architecture in the country.

Our project for the Eagle Lab Building nearing completion. A former garment warehouse has been converted to provide new enterprise space for young business. The project includes for a new external fire escape which playfully animates the existing building.

Our Clyde House building was lit up in red light to commerate Remembrance Day, a poignant tribute to honour those soldiers and civilians armed who have died in the First World War.

Paul Stallan has installed an exhibition in Perth called ‘Weatherforms’, a series of drawings, collages, and paintings.“When drawing a ‘den’ I imagine an exposed idealised site somewhere in Scotland. I have a name in my head for these den ‘types’ I draw ... ‘weatherforms’, these forms eschew sunny climates and are designed to address low cloud, horizontal rain, snow, rising damp, darkness and to take advantage of limited sunshine ... sound familiar? My brief is then to structurally, spatially and formally orchestrate a small architecture ‘play’. The exhibition can be seen at Fergus Purdie Architects, 5a Melville Street Perth. 19th Sept - Oct 18th.

Orla Kane is a Scottish artist based in Glasgow. Orla works in the space between drawing and painting, creating layered and immersive environments. At its heart, her work considers landscapes and their loose connections with anthropomorphic forms and conditions. 

Daisy Chains brings together a selection of new paintings and framed drawings that travel through colourful temporal landscapes that loop-the-loop winged and floral silhouettes. Working with a range of materials; pencils, oil paint, watercolours, and raw pigments on an array of surfaces, she drips, saturates, and washes her paintings creating soft layers that pool out into nostalgic forms.

“We will find lustre in unlikely places” is the working title used by Jessica Gaudi Cowan throughout her studio work with terrazzo. Jessica investigates the properties of terrazzo out of the joy found in the process. The roughness gives way to refinement by removing layers and layers through polishing. Uncovering details that were always within the potential of unassuming objects just waiting to be realised.

Stallan-Brand is delighted to have been awarded two RIAS Awards; Jedburgh Grammar Campus and The Den (in collaboration with Technique). Jedburgh Grammar Campus is one of five buildings to be shortlisted for Scotland’s (RIAS) Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award. 

Design Director Paul Stallan donated three collage works to the Artist Aid Ukraine initiative. All proceeds from the sale of work go to two charities, the Red Cross and Okara, an organisation that provides emergency and practical support to Ukrainians and their families who are looking to rebuild their lives in safety, having fled the war. Over a hundred Scottish artists contributed… oh and one architect.

Delighted to announce that Senior Architect James Browne has received his Passive House Designer Certification from the Passive House Institute. Founded in 1996 by Dr Wolfgang Feist in Darmstadt, Germany, the Passive House Institute has assumed a leading position with regard to research on and development of construction concepts, building components, planning tools and quality assurance for especially energy efficient buildings. 

Solo exhibition by photographer Dafni Michalaki, Alignment presents a body of work produced over the last four years and follows a series of travels in the Greek islands along with a set of digital rayographs produced during the Covid 19 lockdown. Photographs featuring friends and acquaintances in unguarded moments alongside scans made using mundane objects found around the house, come together in an attempt to challenge the viewer with the contrasting subjects and spatial settings they occur in. Different perspectives of the multifaceted world, aiming to evoke defined but also ambiguous sensations, in pursuit of aligning formal and informal moments, forms and feelings. Furniture kindly provided by Laurence Veitch. 

We are delighted to see our Jedburgh Grammar Campus shortlisted for a prestigious RIAS Award. The project was also recently awarded a Commendation at the Scottish Borders Design Awards. McLellan Works in Glasgow City Centre has been shortlisted for a BCO Award (Refurbished Workplace). 

The practice have lodged a planning application for a new primary & early years project in the historic market town of Earlston in the Scottish Borders. The project also incorporates a new medical centre, public library and community cafe. 

The team are in the midst of consultations on the development of the High Street Goods Yard site in Glasgow, an opportunity site that provides the potential to radically improve the spatial connections in this location. The prospect of creating new links between neighbourhoods that overcome the existing rail and road infrastructure is exciting.

Stallan-Brand lead on the design of an inspired new academy for the town of Peebles. The project is firmly rooted in its landscape context taking full advantage of its sublime natural setting. An informal yet classic architecture is developing in support of the schools dynamic curriculum.

Stallan-Brand are working with Moxon Architects and Arup on the development of new urban masterplan for Sheffield City Council and London & County Rail. Proposal will include a new bridge linking the Parkhill Estate to the town centre, together with a series of new public spaces and enabling development. Watch this space …

Paul Stallan participated in the design sprint event facilitated by the Glasgow Place Commission, where teams were asked to think boldly about how the city might be better connected with its River. Paul promoted a radical vision that sought the removal of the express road system in lieu of a 20 mile linear park.

A series of works that navigate between figuration and abstraction, painting and photography. The representation of the female body in movement. Playful overexposed and out of focus photographs together with ink on satin paintings. Unexpected, ambiguous and sensual.

Stallan-Brand, as part of a wider design team, have been appointed as Lead Architect for the Wester Hailes Regeneration & Development Framework, a transformational project rooted in improving the quality of life and opportunities for local residents alongside wider social and economic benefits. This long-awaited regeneration project will align with the community-led Local Place Plan, mapping out a 10-15 year plan for delivering improvements. 

Interior Landscapes, curated by Robin Webster OBE RSA PRIAS, is an exhibition focusing on domestic objects and furniture designed by Royal Scottish Academicians and invited architects and artists. The exhibition investigates the direct relationship between ideas, materials, and manufacture, whether through handmade craft or state-of-the-art machining. Exhibitors include Sam Ainsley RSA | Mary Arnold-Forster RSA | Jim Lambie RSA (Elect) | Moxon Architects | Stallan-Brand | Robert Steedman RSA | Sutherland Hussey Harris & more.

Stallan-Brand are delighted to be featured in New Architects 4. The Architecture Foundation's publication showcases 109 British architectural practices all of which are less than a decade old. A beautifully composed insight into exciting new talent. 

Further to extensive community consultation, the practice is working towards submitting a planning application for the Merchant Quarter development in Glasgow’s Merchant City. The site takes in the expansive King Street car park to present the largest single development opportunity in the City Centre. The design promises to support a dynamic mix of contemporary workspace, cultural activity, residential and more, all of which will be structured around exciting new public spaces.

Our construction work is in progress at Union Terrace Gardens. A photo of one of three pavilions we have designed, inspired by Aberdeen's historic tramcars (and secretly... our local bar the Laurieston in Glasgow). Working with landscape architects LDA, Arups & Balfour Beatty. 

Our 2021 Critical Thinking Programme launched with an in-depth study of some of the current issues around housing. A lively debate, looking at the value of a considered plan, an embedded sense of history, community investment, and that indefinable sense of ‘home’; all layers in what Neave Brown described as “an armature for living”.

 If the history of architecture can be traced through the design of houses, then what we build today is a fundamental part of our cultural legacy.

Stallan-Brand wins a Glasgow Institute of Architects Award for the design of a unique home in the village of Tighnabruaich. The house radically repurposes part of a former Victorian tenement building, carving it out internally and wrapping a full blackened steel jacket around it. The building thermal diagram is effectively reversed allowing the raw stonework to be exposed internally with a new super-insulated skin externally. 

Stallan-Brand has been appointed to take forward the design of a new theatre and sports venue that includes a 50 metre swimming pool in the beautiful Eastwood Park in East Renfrewshire. The team has been consulting local schools and the public on their thoughts. It’s a very exciting project that brings together culture and wellness within a legacy landscape. 

The practice has been appointed to progress the design of a new campus school in the stunning Scottish Borders town of Peebles. Inspired by the tradition of planned gardens and orchards the school gently embeds itself in the local landscape. The tree metaphor expands to create an enclosure, the suggestion of a canopy roof and a very human scale. Much still to resolve but an Arcadian vision will guide us. 

Stallan-Brand have recently completed the refurbishment of the historic Breckenridge House on Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street. Branded ‘McLellan Works’, the refurbishment draws on growing trends in flexible working and adaptive office environments. McLellan Works aims to be a vibrant and welcoming workspace, targeted primarily at creative enterprises and freelancers. 

The studio has submitted planning for a new build to rent development at Speirs Locks. This urban living development sees 203 units split across two blocks of 13 and 20 storeys and has been designed to interact with Glasgow's blossoming northern quarter. The townscape and morphology approach has primarily been driven by the desire to limit impact and maximise views to and from the iconic listed Speirs Wharf that sits across the canal. 

The proposals for Phase 3 reflect the ambition of Urban Union, and will build on the successes of the earlier phases, further establishing Laurieston as a vibrant, urban living quarter. Stallan-Brand have been involved in the regeneration of Laurieston for close to ten years, and our aspiration has remained throughout to promote development that enables diversity, good placemaking, and engages with the city fully.

We have been collaborating with practice McGinlay Bell, on three building types within the masterplan to develop a rich and nuanced design response, and have worked closely with Landscape Architects Oobe on the next phase of the Linear Park.

The studio has an ongoing commitment to creating high-quality, crafted architecture, public realm, and landscape that is embedded and connected to its local and wider context.

Beth Shapeero and Fraser Taylor began their collaboration after meeting and discovering one another’s practice while on residence at the Studio Pavilion at House for an Art Lover in 2017. Noticing their distinct shared aesthetic; a remarkably familiar use of abstract form and line, in particular, they have developed an improvised fast-paced screen printing practice at Glasgow Print Studio.

Stallan-Brand have been commissioned by Drum Property to lead the design and delivery of a major mixed-use masterplan at the centre of Glasgow's vibrant Merchant City area. Having lain derelict for over a decade, the site has existing planning consent for around 850,000 sq ft of residential, student, hotel, and commercial space. 

Our proposal creates parcels of development that are configured to reinforce the Merchant City's unique morphology and mixed-use activity. In this respect, the proposal has a series of new public spaces that will radically reconnect the context to reveal exciting new views & vistas and reframe familiar landmarks.

Toby Paterson’s work is derived from the experience of built environments and his encounters with a diverse range of architectural forms. This project, developed specifically for the exhibition space at Stallan-Brand, presents a selection of new work with a focus on the cast and machined aluminium that has increasingly been central to Paterson’s process in recent years.

The studio are working on a mixed tenure residential development in East Whitlawburn, Cambuslang. Central to the project is optimising social benefit in the delivery of the project and as a place in the long term. Linking the existing surrounding communities and the new development is a key objective. The project is currently on-site and will deliver a total of 330 new homes, 230 for rent for South Lanarkshire Council, and 100 homes for sale. 

Fran Gordon is a visual artist based in Glasgow. With a background in both design and fine art, her work sits between these areas and plays with colour, scale, and print. The work here appropriates print and the printed image through the process of printmaking itself. Actions such as layering, repeating, inverting, and overlapping are integral and reflect the positivity that plays and creativity has on the mind. 

Stallan-Brand have been working with SWG3 to identify opportunities for future development. The masterplan is structured around five key interventions delivering a mix of workspace, open space, retail, and food/ drink uses. Whilst acting as discrete elements, the interventions will contribute to a comprehensive vision for the future of SWG3 as a hard-working and dynamic cultural destination. 

Collaborative exhibition by Glasgow based visual artists Ailsa Sutcliffe and Kate Timney. 

Ailsa's work explores the modern phenomenon of True Crime as entertainment, layering clues in images to form a foggy, disjointed narrative which is open to interpretation and questions the viewer as a voyeur, complicit by their consumption. 

Kate Timney's interest in the contemporary sublime prompts works which examine the intertwined nature of awe and terror, with particular reference to pioneers of climbing and surfing. 

Photographer and film-maker Steven Jones presents Supernormal; a series of striking images, where collage has been employed to alter proportion and scale as he seeks to create visual metaphors about modern life.
Themes such as ‘an assertion of power through a display of physical wealth’and ‘holding onto your childhood’ are explored in these works which are at once glamorous and unnerving.

Broomlands Primary School has been awarded the RIAS Best Education Building in Scotland 2019. Broomlands, along with 9 other projects, joins the long list for the RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award. 

In line with the masterplan as a whole, Buchanan Wharf Early Years plays an integral part in the wider place making ambitions for the area. By reinvigorating one of the many disused gap sites, championing public connectivity and cycle use, playing a key role in the development of exciting new areas of public realm and providing flexible out of hours community facilities, the proposals aim to deliver and exceed the ambitions of the city’s placemaking objectives.

Taking inspiration from the expressive structures of the shipbuilding warehouses, sheds and riverside cranes. We embraced the opportunity to give what is in essence a relatively small two storey building, a unique and contextual form, using dynamic sculptural roof forms to add presence to its massing, whilst maximising the amount of natural daylight we could provide to the interior.

Broomlands Primary School has been shortlisted for a 2019 RIAS Award.

Stallan-Brand were invited to propose a custom build housing solution for a phase of the bold new masterplan at Dundashill, one of Glasgow’s highest drumlins beside the canal at Port Dundas. The objective, with support from the Scottish Government Self and Custom Build Challenge Fund, was to explore custom build as an innovative alternative in housing, providing new ways to deliver homes and regenerate areas. Our proposal set out a few principles - exploit volume, optimise the stair to step the section and unlock a sense of openness and spatial variety.

Rachel Duckhouse presents Static, a selection of etchings made over the last few years at Glasgow Print Studio. Several of the works have been made as part of research based artist residencies in Glasgow and abroad, others are inspired by nearby buildings such as the St Enoch Centre and the Sheriff Court. 

Stallan-Brand wins the Glasgow Institute of Architects Education Award and Supreme Award 2018 for Broomlands Primary School. 

"My work looks at childhood and adolescence – either my own experiences and memories, or observations of friends and family’s children. Imaginative games, beliefs and the dynamics of friendships are then interpreted in my paintings, in a very literal way. This is countered by the controlled style of painting I use to achieve what is hopefully a beautiful painting with an underlying discomfort or unease for the viewer through the duplicity of the image."

Stallan-Brand present Laurieston masterplan to the Academy of Urbanism and host an exhibition in the studio called GONE that evidences all those buildings in the location that were demolished in the 1970-80's.

Stallan-Brand wins Scottish Design Award for Jedburgh Intergenerational Learning Campus.

"Stallan-Brand’s exhibition ‘Weather Form’s fundamentally celebrates a contemporary architectural language born from a Scottish sensibility that has application throughout the world. The Glasgow based studio not only promotes the idea that its practice has been inspired by the tradition of the sublime sense in Scottish art crafted from the nation’s climate, but also boldly positions its work as a wholly contemporary and internationally relevant voice for a new language of architecture." 
Scottish Centre for Architecture & Design, The Lighthouse

"Semper Solum is an ambitious new installation responding to the site and context of the courtroom in Oxford House – open to the public for the first time in its new incarnation. The works on show relate to individual and collective identity and play with ideas of binaries, opacity and judgement and hover between recent past and the near future temporalities." Patricia Fleming Projects

Following the sad and unexpected death of Kevin Hutcheson in April 2016 the exhibition for Glasgow International within the Stallan-Brand gallery which he was working on went ahead as planned. Many of his friends and family visited the show. Kevin was known for his perceptive but restrained collages using a mix of near obsolete newspaper cuttings, acrylic and screen-printing.

Exhibition by artist Ally Wallace called Station Mix contains 25 ink drawings on A5 paper - studies of people in Glasgow's two main railway stations. The drawings are exhibited along with clay sculptures of station architecture and signage, as an installation in the studio gallery.
