Pacific Quay Premier Inn wins planning
November 30 2012
Whitbread commissioned Lawrence McPherson Associates to design the six storey structure, capitalising on ongoing expansion of the SECC complex by filling in the last remaining gapsite of Pacific Quay phase one.
Their design incorporates a new public space connecting the Bells Bridge with Pacific Quay, creating a new pedestrian route direct to the SECC.
Finished in an aluminium metal cladding system the development is intended to marry the height differential between the BBC and STV offices whilst enhancing the adjacent riverside walkway.
Ground floor activation will be achieved through a pavilion restaurant and foyer.
A landscpaed link traversing the Bell's Bridge constitutes a key part of the proposals

More 'sombre' grey to match the grey skies. For shame!

It seems we are making an attempt to block off the south side with our version of the Berlin wall, except this time constructed out of composite cladding. What is this doing for the river front and the city??
