brief and at the same time respond to the initial site analysis undertaken have investigated a number of different concept strategies. Two initial different options that were considered take reference from either the ‘grand palazzo’ approach or separating the overall block into individual separate blocks with varied skyline articulation.

The site is located on Bothwell Street in Glasgow City Centre. It is currently occupied by an existing building dating from the mid 1970’s. The site extends to approximately 0.26 hectares and is indicated on the plan below. The surrounding area is largely commercial in nature and of varied architectural character including materiality, colour and styles. A townscape analysis of the proposed development site and its immediate surroundings has been carried out. A number of key initial considerations have been identified as follows:

Both options recognise the requirement to ‘break down’ the mass and respect various datums along Bothwell Street and, more importantly, the adjacency to Victorian Townhouses to the north on St Vincent Street. Along with this recognising and responding to the key view corridors particularly from the north due south along Blythswood Street and West Campbell Street.

Following the successful ‘177 Bothwell Street’ office building design, HFD Group have appointed Sheppard Robson for the development of a new office scheme along the same Bothwell Street in a similar architectural style.

Proposed vehicular entrance and off road service access will be taken from St Vincent lane. The existing footpaths on the western and eastern side of the building are steep, rising from Bothwell Street to St Vincent Lane by approximately 4.5 m.

4. Sunpath/ Orientation/ Outlook/ Aspect

Townhouses to the north on St Vincent Street. Along with this and responding to the key view corridors particularly from the south along Blythswood Street and West Campbell Street.

The proposed building will afford good views southerly and east/west particularly from the upper levels.

The site is located on the north side of Bothwell Street in Glasgow City Centre, between Blythswood Street and West Campbell Street. It is currently occupied by an existing building dating from the mid 1970’s. The site extends to approximately 0.26 hectares. The surrounding area is largely commercial in nature and of varied architectural character including materiality, colour and styles. Bothwell Street is one of the main arterial routes into the city centre with Junction 19 of the M8 motorway being located approximately 300 metres west of the property. The location is characterised by large office developments.
