Aberdeen-based architecture and interior firm Tinto has the West Coast and central belt in its sights with the launch of a new office in Glasgow.

Associate architect Ciara McInnes will lead the new team alongside associate interior designer Lizzi Nutt, helping to realise an expanding workload which has brought in fees of over £250k from across the region.

Founder and CEO Richard Tinto commented: "Having a permanent presence in Glasgow is a significant milestone for Tinto. The transformation of the city is something we are passionate about being part of, and we are excited to bring our skills and expertise to the central belt.

“We are also thrilled to have Ciara on board. As a specialist in retrofit and adaptive re-use projects, her skills align perfectly with our passion for regenerating existing buildings.”

Following a merger with Deeside Architecture Studio Tinto has been busy in its home region with projects such as Aberdeen's Wallace Tower. McInnes added: “With 80% of the population living within an hour of Glasgow, it has the allure of a major city. London and Manchester have seen significant development over the last 10-15 years, and we believe that Glasgow is next in line, which is really exciting.

“Tinto is well-known for its experience of retrofitting and converting older buildings. We share Glasgow’s vision of creating a vibrant city by revitalising its existing buildings, and we see this as an opportunity to align with that vision, add value and contribute to its success.”

Based in the Briggait cultural hub the new office is set for further expansion with the practice actively recruiting an architectural technologist.
