PREAH has been awarded the full mechanical and electrical Category B fit out of Level 3 at The Culzean, a prominent city-centre building on Renfield Street, Glasgow.
The 16-week programme will involve the strip out of existing MEP services followed by the installation of new air conditioning, ventilation grilles, lighting, small power and sanitaryware. The project will be delivered for new client WMR Contractors Ltd, with PREAH's M&E Project Managers leading the works.
The appointment follows the successful delivery of similar MEP services on another floor of The Culzean, reflecting the quality of work previously carried out by the PREAH team within the building.
Located on busy Renfield Street, The Culzean is fitted out to an exceptionally high standard and occupies one of Glasgow city centre’s notable historic commercial buildings. Originally known as the Woodhouse Warehouse, it was designed in 1929 by prominent Scottish architect James Miller for furniture business Jas Woodhouse & Sons.
The building’s original purpose as a furniture warehouse and showroom helped shape much of its character. Large display windows at street level allowed the business to showcase furniture to people passing through the busy city centre, while the upper floors provided generous commercial space.
Over the decades, the building has continued to adapt.
In the 1970s, it became associated with office use, including a conversion for The Prudential Assurance Company Ltd. Today, now known as The Culzean, the building combines historic architectural detail with high-quality modern office accommodation, continuing its long story of reinvention in the heart of Glasgow.
PREAH’s current mechanical and electrical building services work at The Culzean places us within one of Glasgow city centre’s notable inter-war commercial buildings.
