As the title really... looking for someone for a modest scale, rurally located light industrial building. Quite simple but sort of interesting.

(Preferably someone who can answer their bloody phone and doesn't have a website full of broken links and Lorem Ipsum 🙂 )

Perchy will surely know good ones. I've used a couple, but none of them I'd be quick to recommend tbh.

Bill Coltart @ Coltart Earley - More architect-y

Hugh Anderson  / David Crowe @ haa design - More design-y. Their website has a dog on it.

I'll have a think about some more.

David Denholm @ MAST Architects - I went to school with him and his family have an old school, top notch  bakery round the corner from my house. His mum is really nice.

I'm going to change my 'light industrial' brief to 'studio / workshop'

I'm maybe a bit too small fry for your first two suggestions (although I guess people put their fanciest work in their websites)

You know which one you are.

I doubt you'd fit in the air duct. ....or the barrel 😉

NIce video*  I've been waiting about two years for closure on that particular mystery.

How big do you reckon it is?

* Needs music. Something sinister.  Cisterns of Mercy perhaps?

The site is 12m wide and 25m long

I reckon the tank is about 20m long and I imagined it to be nearer to 10m wide from the shape of the earthed over structure above ground - but thanks to the handy scale on the wall inside I reckon its nearer to 6m wide.

Its probably about 3m deep relative to the land around with the vaulted roof adding another 2m

Really surprised to see how clean, dry and sound it is inside. I was expecting sludge and corpses.

You'll be all set when  nuclear bombs rain down on Ayrshire and turn it into a post industrial, apocalyptic wasteland populated by inbred mutants.

You'll emerge, blinking , into the sunlight and it could take as long as six months before you notice the differences. 😉

Not Glasgow (most architects will travel no problem) but can recommend these guys (mainly on the basis that I used to work with one of the associates who was really good):
