The strong order of the warm orange brickwork grid unifies the building, with raking parapets creating dramatic perspective at key corners. 23 Oct Holmes Miller - Recent Buildings The Cargill Centre, Kilmacolm, Inverclyde, west Scotland photograph from Civic Trust The Cargill Centre - 27 Feb 2012 Holmes Miller, as Project Architects, recently completed 'The Cargill Centre', a competition-winning design for a new community centre, library and commercial unit in Kilmacolm, Inverclyde - which is to be officially opened by The Lord Lieutenant of Renfrewshire on 28th February 2012. Marischal College, Aberdeen, northeast Scotland photo © Keith Hunter New photographs of Marischal College unveiled - 24 Jan 2012 + 21 Nov 2011 Marischal College in Aberdeen, one of the largest, and finest, granite buildings in the world, has been restored to the ‘Silver City’s’ skyline once again, after a major £40 million redevelopment by Holmes Architects. Following the successful completion of a two-year long restoration and upgrade, the soaring silver-white granite landmark has re-emerged as the new HQ for Aberdeen City Council. At 400ft long and 80ft high, Marischal College is the world’s second largest granite building after El Escorial Palace in Madrid. The former University of Aberdeen building was constructed at a time when Aberdeen was exporting more granite than it was using on its own buildings. 7 Nov 2011 Holmes Miller Practice News Holmes Partnership and Miller Partnership Announce Merger Two of Scotland’s largest and most recognised Architectural Partnerships have merged.
