Jigsaw

An A-listed Italianate bank with domed banking hall, the Glasgow Savings Bank at 177 Ingram Street. Built in 1894 the bank was designed by J.J. Burnett. Over the years the building had been altered and the original banking hall in-filled with various unsympathetic elements. These were removed and the fine Edwardian Baroque banking hall restored and refurbished to accommodate a modern retail premises for the Jigsaw clothing company. A sympathetic and effective scheme enabled a practical and elegant refit within the listing constraints. A reclaimed parquet floor and comprehensive lighting scheme throughout once again unified the previously compromised hall. The work was carried out in collaboration with Isabel Bannerman designing the display elements
