Commenting on his involvement in the Annual Lecture, William Lippe said: “The redevelopment of the Tivoli is an exciting project to be involved in, not least because of the special place the venue holds in the entertainment world.
“From an architectural point of view, the building has added excitement of a unique form of ‘no fines’ concrete construction and a near original interior.”
He added: “Phase one of the work will make the building water tight and safe from the elements, including significant repairs to roof, walls and windows and preserve the fabric of the building in readiness for new uses.”
William Lippe Architects recently announced deals worth £5 million for the second quarter of 2011.
Founded in 1985, the company employs 13 staff and provide top quality, professional architectural, space planning and associated services from inception to completion to residential and commercial clients throughout Scotland.
