▼ Building Overview
The Alexander
The proposal reorganises Egyptian Halls as a mixed-use cultural destination combining gallery, hospitality and residential programmes within a single structure. Public functions activate the lower levels, immersive experiences occupy the basement, and private accommodation is positioned above, culminating in a shared roof terrace and upper deck overlooking Glasgow city centre.
Movement through the building is organised through programme-specific entry points and a clear vertical hierarchy, allowing multiple user groups to navigate the building simultaneously while maintaining spatial connection between public and private areas.
