Nicoll Russell – Beyond Dundee

Thursday 19 September 2024, 7.00 pm

Talk by Willie Watt

(Joint event with Dundee Institute of Architects)

Our Dundee Civic Trust winter evening talks restart on Thursday 19 September when Willie Watt, BSc(Hons) DIP ARCH, PPRIAS, RIBA, will expand upon Nicoll Russell Studios’ work outside Dundee.

The architectural practice of Nicoll Russell Studios will be well known to many members of Dundee Civic Trust for its broad range of work in Dundee including the ‘A Listed’ Dundee Rep, the city centre’s bus stops, Seabraes Bridge, Waters Edge, Dundee Station, The Space at Dundee and Angus College, Dundee Sheriff Court, Whitetops and Grianan alongside many less obvious buildings, houses, restaurants, cafes, bars and night clubs.

Dundee is the home of the practice but to achieve growth it has always been outward looking, winning and completing a range of projects across the UK which will form the basis of this talk.

Willie Watt became a partner at Nicoll Russell Studios in 2006 having joined the practice as an associate in 1999, and is a Past President of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, an accredited conservation architect, an avid keeper of sketchbooks as well as a qualified mountain bike coach and leader.

This talk is the first of new series organised by Dundee Civic Trust jointly with Dundee Institute of Architects.

The talk will take place in the Dundee Art Society Roseangle Gallery, starting at 7.00 pm (19:00).  As always, non-members and guests will be very welcome and there will be the opportunity afterwards to chat over a glass of wine, kindly supplied by McNicoll & Cairnie, Wine Merchants.
