Greenock

In August of 2015 I was approached by Canata and Seggie Chartered Architects, based in Greenock, to join as a director - one of four directors within the business. My own business at the time, Paul McShane Architecture, was doing exceptionally well, but I had the desire to work with and manage a team and an ambition to run a larger well established local practice. Canata & Seggie Chartered Architects, owned by John and Vic, has traded successfully for the last 37 years.

Achieving the required accommodation over 2 levels was challenging. The design of the building form presented opportunities for good quality internal and external spaces.The project is due for completion in May and is in the final stages.Project Value: £3.4m
