09/09 - haa design  are delighted to announce that Gillian Stewart, formerly UK director of strategy and design at DEGW has this week joined haa design in Glasgow as director.

In a quirk of fate, she is re-joining Hugh Anderson, Managing Director of haa design, who first set up DEGW's Scottish operation in 1985 and she will now join design consortia working on several major projects, including the proposed £300m New Campus Glasgow development.

Gillian is a member of the Chartered Society of Designers and the British Council for Offices, as well as being a qualified interior designer.  Past projects include work with BP, Cisco Systems, Microsoft, Phillips, RBC, Standard Life and law firms McGrigors and Maclay Murray & Spens.

 

Hugh Anderson of haa design said: “The ethos of design and consultancy being inextricably linked is the foundation of our business and we're delighted to both welcome a like minded individual and to add Gillian's extensive international experience to the team.

 

“haa design is currently exploring projects in Ireland, China and in Cyprus where the work currently being carried out in Scotland is rightly viewed as world-beating, particularly in the field of higher education. Gillian's mix of skills will really complement a team dedicated to design-led consultancy and to the seamless marriage of function and technology into physical architecture”.

 

Gillian Stewart adds: “I'm really energised by the work haa design has been doing to create innovative academic and office environments. First class design goes way beyond buildings and into the links people have with the full range of communities with whom they interact. I share Hugh Anderson's holistic approach to design and am really looking forward to working with the team.”
