Signature Aviation New State-of-the-Art Private Aviation Terminal in Glasgow
Signature Aviation, the world’s largest network of private aviation terminals, has a brand new terminal at Glasgow Airport (GLA) in Scotland. Signature Aviation is the world’s preeminent aviation hospitality company, offering exceptional experiences and essential support services to business and private aviation guests. The company’s large-scale infrastructure footprint enables travel, fosters human connection and is a critical global economic driver. Signature operates an industry-leading network of private aviation terminals, with over 200 locations covering key destinations in 27 countries across five continents and is the largest distributor of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in business aviation.
The new cutting-edge facility in Glasgow, is showcasing the enhanced guest experience and spotlighting the terminal’s expansive, thoughtfully designed amenities.
Signature Aviation have had an FBO (Fixed Base Operator) at Glasgow Airport since the early 1990's and with a growing customer base they needed a significant upgrade. The decision was taken to demolish the existing temporary building structure as it was no longer fit for purpose and decided to redevelop on the same site, a brand-new building that was more in keeping with Signature Aviation's corporate look & feel.
Designing Within Budget
Amos Beech were engaged from the strategy stage, designing the footprint around the specific needs of the business. Early indications around cost to deliver, mean the footprint had to be reduced to bring it within the capital spend that was available. What this meant for the client was instead of making compromises on the finished look of the building, the space was optimised from the start, ensuring that the final product met the expectations of the business.
The new Signature GLA terminal was designed to enhance the guest experience as a gateway to one of the most culturally rich and historic cities in Scotland and greater Europe. The new facility provides 433 square meters of total space (nearly 5,000 square feet), highlighted by several new amenities for world travellers, including an expansive new lounge space, a large meeting room for business use, a VIP lounge, showers, and a dedicated screening room.
Whilst the foundations and envelope were being constructed, the Amos Beech design team were in full flow, working with the client to design an interior that reflected the Signature Aviation brand and met the needs of their clientèle and staff. The brief was to design an interior with a homage to Glasgow and its heritage whilst retaining the overarching Signature Aviation corporate brand and the end result speaks for itself.
Leading the Project
Amos Beech led the entire project, acting as principal designer and principal contractor for the client. Working with the full range of professional services, we carried out a full range of site investigations which influenced the design and specific rules around working on a live airport were all taken into consideration.
Working with Signature Aviation, the Preconstruction team awarded works packages for the groundworks to Bottom Groundworks and the envelope to Modulek following competitive tender bids and evaluation. All works were co-ordinated and managed by the Amos Beech project management team, and Rebecca Howie was rarely seen in the office for 12 months!
The Result
From the grand entrance and bespoke concierge desks, through the Business Lounge and VIP Suite, the whole space now gives a sense of calm and purpose, resulting in a frictionless experience for people who value time over everything else.

A low-carbon office for Schneider Electric in Edinburgh Park
Schneider Electric’s purpose is to create Impact by empowering all, to make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all. It is therefore no surprise that they’ve decided to settle for 1 New Park Square in Edinburgh Park. This brand new office building is designed by architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris and was completed in 2022. It achieved a BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings.
The building has an all-electric infrastructure with green energy, and bio-solar photovoltaic arrays. The building also features full fresh air displacement ventilation, thermal mass cooling, and smart facades. It has won multiple awards, including the Concrete Society Awards, AJ Awards for Best Workplace, and a BCO Scotland Award. It is an exceptional building using high quality finishes and attention to detail throughout.
Schneider Electric selected this building as their new home and then approached design companies with a view to delivering a fit-out that reflected their brand, values and staff welfare.
Amos Beech successfully tendered and won the project and then, working closely with with Fuse Design and multiple stakeholders including Project Managers, Landlords Agents, Building Manager and of course Schneider Property personnel, we completed a comprehensive build-out of their office.
Emphasis was placed on the use of sustainable finishes and products as well as creating an environment that draws people back to the office and is definitely in the realm of ‘placemaking’. The open plan office layout enhances employee’s creativity, boost collaboration and encourages innovation. To control noise pollution, acoustic solutions have been embedded in the design to be bring it down to comfortable levels for everyone.
Another significant draw has to be the bakery on the ground floor at New Park Square: It’s called Patina Bakery. Patina is more than just a bakery; it's a bakery, restaurant, bar, and event space. Beautiful food in a beautiful building!

Mazars new Edinburgh office achieves the BREEAM excellent standard
Mazars (now Forvis Mazars), the international audit, tax and advisory firm, has moved to a flagship Edinburgh city-centre location after 15 years at its previous office. When Forvis Mazars took space in Capital One, Edinburgh, they knew they had to create an interior that reflected their talent recruitment ethos. Amos Beech worked with them and the design team from Workplace Creations in London, to deliver an end product that allows their staff to collaborate with each other and their clients. It fosters innovation and creativity.
The Edinburgh office has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Mixology North 2023 awards for Project of the Year!
A modern and dynamic way of working
Forvis Mazars have embraced the hybrid working model and the office is designed to complement this, featuring spaces that reflect a modern and dynamic way of thinking. This in turn helps them to attract and retain the very best staff, encouraging them to reveal their best and progress rapidly within the business. Forvis Mazars work with a diverse range of clients across a variety of sectors and different types of missions and the space is designed to welcome them and provide an atmosphere conducive to positive outcomes.
The new office has exceptional sustainability standards
Sustainability was an integral part of the design process. Material & product selections were carefully considered to ensure minimal environmental impact. Where possible upcycled and recycled products were specified without impacting quality to meet the SKA & BREEAM assessments that were key aspects to the project deliverables.
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is used to specify and measure the sustainability performance of buildings, ensuring that projects meet sustainability goals and continue to perform optimally over time.
As the team responsible for the build element, this was a complex operation from a QS and procurement perspective as well as throughout the physical delivery period.
Amos Beech were included in engagements with the client sustainability team which was a key factor in the success of the project. Their recommendations and support meant that achieving the ‘excellent’ rating was possible as the client procurement team were constantly challenging and looking for areas to cost engineer vital elements out of scope.
Every material used onsite by the Amos Beech team had to be logged using BREEAM data sheets. These were then issued to the contracted BREEAM regulator
Size: 12,000sqft
Duration: 12 weeks
