Paisley Town Hall is a £22m refurbishment of a historic, Grade A listed building. The aim was to substantially upgrade an 1882 Neoclassical hall into a modern, vibrant live performance venue and civic hub. Other functions added include a Dance Studio, Café/Bar, Wedding Suites, Banqueting, Screening Room and Commercial Catering. By combining a variety of key local amenities, the objective was to promote greater footfall and public engagement within the local town centre. The design approach focused on sensitivity to the heritage fabric. We were rigorous and careful that each intervention was sympathetic to this beautiful and grand building.
