Ackergill Tower | GLM

The practice has a long history with Ackergill Tower having begun restorations back in the late 1980’s. The original brief was straightforward — while maintaining the delicate historic ambience, deliver as many en-suite bathrooms as possible with a high standard of plumbing and heating. The practice then designed bathrooms that made use of mural chambers while incorporating some clever remodelling and styling.

Solving a fire escape issue, we added a steel spiral staircase by creating a shaft in the thickness of the walls. Since undertaking the redevelopment of Ackergill Tower, GLM have developed a longstanding professional relationship with the building’s new owners, Clarenco – AmaZing Venues. We have been commissioned to provide new facilities which will once again reassert its position as a world class retreat.

The most recent Ackergill project will see the inclusion of additional bedroom space, a new banquet hall and the creation of a lush spa to the already stunning hotel getaway. All these additions meet the requirements of the 21st Century but are sensitively designed to fit the context of this landmark building.
