Studio Profile
Surface ID works as a team of seven in Glasgow’s leafy west end, in a converted mill building. Coming up with unique and unusual spatial solutions in order to make the best of a building, our projects vary in style but are all approached in the same way and are imbued with a level of detail, style, craft and wit that is not found elsewhere.
At Surface, we pride ourselves on innovative design schemes and attention to detail. The variety of our work reflects the ongoing trends and needs of the industry and public alike. We work on all scales of project: from small, intimate bar restaurants for 50 covers, to some of the largest and most complex leisure projects in the world.
