Sauchiehall Street already supports a diverse urban mix of hotels, hospitality, workspaces and cultural activity, creating energy across the day and evening. However, much of this activity remains fragmented, with limited integration between living, working and public social experience. Positioned in Glasgow’s Golden Z, the former C&A building presents an opportunity to respond to this changing context through adaptive reuse. Co-Z builds on what already exists while addressing what is missing, a cohesive design-led, live-work and social destination that contributes to a more vibrant and sustainable city.

The Still Collective is located at 64 Waterloo Street
This is a Category B-Listed Victorian commercial building constructed between 1898 and 1900 and designed by architect James Chalmers.
Its structure is defined by a free-classical stone facade, built with polished red ashlar sandstone, and with polished granite used at the basement and parts of the ground floor for durability and visual weight.
The building rises three storeys with an attic and a polygonal corner tower, a typical structural feature of the late 19th-century Glasgow architecture.
The facade incorporates Corinthian pilasters, stone mullioned and transomed windows, carved timber elements, and a balustraded parapet, all of which are integral to the load-bearing masonry envelope.
Existing Building
With the whiskey company Wright & Greig Ltd booming, they hired Architect James Chalmers to build them a new storehouse and office building. Due to the Victorian Era the building was built in, traditional features are present: a stone facade, ironwork and beautifully intricate detailing. In 1918 Wright & Greig disolved into The Distillers Company Ltd (DLC), (later purchased by Guiness PLC in 1986).The building remained working as a whiskey distillers office until later in the 20th century. When the whiskey business left Waterloo Street, it became a multi-tennant commercial building.
