Craig House is a Victorian building built in 1896 and was originally part of the Gartloch hospital until it was closed in 1996. The site is located on the outskirts of Glasgow and is surrounded by open countryside; it is an ideal location to inspire and motivate.
The proposal provides a resource for contemporary musical education. Facilitated by the buildings rural setting, the project will act as a retreat for young and aspiring musicians from around the UK.
The building will comprise of teaching studios, recording studios, music booths, a library, and social areas. At the heart of the building sits the auditorium which floats above the ground floor and by applying lighting to its facade it moves with the rhythm of the music inside, mirroring the motion of a graphic equalizer. The two towers to the right and left of the central auditorium house private booths and a top floor relaxation space that enjoys views across the whole of the Gartloch area.
