Nicholson McShane Architects (NMA) have taken the last remaining 650sq/ft of space at Greenock’s grade-A listed Custom House, doubling the floor space available to the Inverclyde-based practice as it increases staff from four to six.

Founded in 2017 by directors Douglas Nicholson and Paul McShane the new practice serves as a continuation of former practice Canata and Seggie, for which NMA retain the intellectual property rights.

Nicholson said: "I had worked for since 1999 for Canata & Seggie Architects, latterly as a director of the company. Paul had worked for several Glasgow practices and also as a sole trader for many years before joining Canata and Seggie in 2016 as a director.

“We had a vision of starting a new practice in a way that would allow the founders to retire and to provide continued employment for other staff members of Canata and Seggie."

The Custom House reopened in July 2017 following an extensive refurbishment by Elder & Cannon Architects.
