Hidden Gardens Community HQ, Tramway Arts Centre, Glasgow
Edinburgh based, Oliver Chapman Architects have recently won a competition
to design a community headquarters and garden office within the ‘Hidden
Gardens’ landscape project beside the Tramway Arts Centre in Glasgow.
Their first competition win outside Edinburgh, this new building for the
innovative arts organisation NVA, will include a single cell ETFE ‘bubble’
roof. It will integrate with the Hidden Gardens, a landscape project also
coordinated by NVA, designed by City Design Cooperative collaborating
with various Scottish artists.

The architect, Oliver
Chapman said that ‘it is to be an introverted building that will make
small interior and exterior enclosures within the existing semi-demolished
brick structures on the site. We hope that this will help create a sense
of security and intimacy for the various communities that may use the
building’.
If lottery funding is secured the project could be under-way early next
year.
Oliver Chapman Architects are a young practice that have recently finished
a dramatic house extension for international lighting designer Jonathan
Speirs and also won an Edinburgh Architectural Association award this
year for their ‘Bed Box’ project.
