Hope Street Glasgow Exhibition Case Study

We like to be challenged by different projects whatever their size. On this project MacID were asked to create a series of exhibition partitioning panels, to be displayed through glass to decorate the main entrance of 106 Hope Street in Glasgow. Our designers took inspiration from the prestigious history of the site, a little-known Charles Rennie Mackintosh building with a facade by John Gaff Gillespie.

As Pearse our senior designer explains, ‘We wanted to create a sense of the cultural juxtaposition of the building within the metropolitan city of Glasgow’.

The five panels form the main entrance hall of the Hope street building. The design stretches across five glass panels of 1.5 x 2m in size, and reflects the differing styles of the two architects coming together to create the current building.
