The Briggait is a large, beautiful building located in Glasgow's Merchant City. 

​

I first visited this building in 2015 when I assisted in a Furniture Pop-Up event. I loved the unconventional design features of the building, the alluring courtyard and the way the individuals occupying the office and studio spaces have made them their own. Since then, I have returned to The Briggait on multiple different occasions for various events. When we were told we could select our own building for this project, I knew instantly that this would be it. 

 

The Briggait is a Grade A listed building. This means that the"Building is of national or international importance, either architectural or historic, or fine little-altered examples of some particular period or style".

Given these restrictions, it is inevitable that I may come across some stumbling blocks. However,  If I can challenge both myself and the design of the space, and in the end create a beautiful, comfortable and accessible space for all individuals, then why can't others do the same?
