NORD
AJ Corus 40 Under 40
NORD was formed in June 2002 by directors Alan Pert and Robin Lee, both of whom previously worked at Zoo Architects in Glasgow.
Pert, a past winner of the Scottish Design Awards Young Architect of the Year, worked for GMW’s Berlin office before joining Zoo, where he became a partner.
Robin Lee, an architect who also studied sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art, worked with RMJM before joining Zoo.
He currently teaches architectural design at the Mackintosh School of Architecture.
In 2003 Graeme McQuaker, who has also worked for RMJM and Zoo, set up the European office of NORD in Barcelona.
Havelock Street Mews, Glasgow
NORD has gained planning permission for 10 new dwellings at Havelock Street Mews in Glasgow’s West End. The development replaces a strip of garages in the courtyard of a tenement block. Each copper-roofed unit has ground-level parking, with accommodation on two floors above. Timber cladding and decking contrast with the sandstone of the tenement block, while staggered windows blur the boundaries between individual dwellings.
