Hillcrest Housing Association Headquarters

Nicoll Russell Studios

The building’s flexible layout allows the accommodation to be organised within two areas. Publicly accessible areas are located at ground level with an upper floor and mezzanine which houses a flexible mix of open plan workspace, cellular offices and formal and informal meeting spaces. The building comprises a glulam timber structure forming the roof and upper floors. The structure is wrapped in aluminium curtain walling. The whole is set upon a base of local stone, hand placed in wire gabions.
