Graeme Nicholls Architects is a multiple award-winning architectural studio based in Glasgow, formed by Graeme Nicholls in 2016. We love architecture and are proud to create buildings and spaces that are relevant and valuable to the people who use them.
Our projects are arts-led and are characterised by our interest in proportion, innovative use of materials, and a rich layering of cultural references to create a unique 'narrative' for each design.We apply these interests to our design process that challenges the client's brief, the site, and the scope of the project to ensure that the best possible architectural solution is achieved.
We love to hear about the aspiration our clients have for their project and work through a collaborative process to help them exceed their expectations. Building users and the community in which they are based are placed at the heart of our design process. We have a particular expertise in engaging with key stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds to deliver a project which is well-loved and gives a shared sense of authorship.

Graeme is an award-winning architect, educator, and artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Graeme trained at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and North Carolina State University in the United States.

Graeme Nicholls Architects were appointed in 2016 to design a scheme for 24 flats on the site on Ashtree Road which formerly housed the Pollokshaws Swimming Baths. Working in close collaboration with the developer Merchant Homes and housing association Home Group, we have been able to deliver a design that has been really well received by the local community and stakeholder groups.
After the extremely positive reception to our Ashtree Road project, Graeme Nicholls Architects were appointed again by the same developer, Merchant Homes, to design this scheme for 160 flats on the site of a former greyhound track in the Ibrox area of Glasgow. Our ambition for Albion is to create a residential development that is both sympathetic to and celebratory of, the history of the Ibrox area.
Launched in 2021, The Davidson Prize has been established in memory of Alan Davidson (1960-2018) - an architect, artist, technologist, innovator and the founder of London-based architecture visualisation studio Hayes Davidson. The Alan Davidson Foundation chose 'home/work' as the theme for its inaugural prize.
Founded in 1903, Letchworth Garden City was the brainchild of social reformer Ebenezer Howard. His vision was to improve people's lives by combining the best of living and working in the town and country. In 2018 RIBA launched a competition which sought master plans for the proposed residential development of a 45-hectare site to the north of the existing Garden City.
