This group of buildings on the Altyre Estate, now occupied by Glasgow School of Art Highlands & Islands, were in an advanced state of disrepair when the project began. A delicate touch was required to retain the rural charm of this venue, while creating a backstage environment capable of supporting memorable weddings and concerts.
Henry Dempsey joined the firm in 1964 as an apprentice Building Surveyor and has remained at the company throughout his career. After gaining his qualifications in 1969 he was later to become partner in 1977 when the firm began trading as Harry Taylor & Co.

We are currently looking for an architect with a flair for new build residential design and the re-modelling of existing properties. The applicant should be proficient in AutoCAD with experience of inspecting works on site. Conservation Accreditation or 3D visualisation would be desirable but overall candidates must be enthusiastic and hardworking.
