Michael Gilmour Associates is a medium sized architectural practice. We work from a modern studio in the West End of Aberdeen, from which we have carried out projects across Scotland, England and abroad.

The office has long prided itself on being design led. In order to maintain this position, we have adopted a policy of promoting quality design above all other considerations. This is not to say that we ignore the many other aspects of architecture, such as functionality and economy, but that without the added value of design quality, these aspects will lead to mediocrity.

Finally, we believe that the only aspect of design which leads to lasting change is that of technology, and if we wish to produce the best possible value, we must be able to adopt the most appropriate technology available at any point in time.
