The Best Designed Buildings in the UK

  1. The Livehaus team have put a list together of the best designed buildings in the UK. From Scotland to Brighton, historic to modern, we’ve selected the best the country has to offer.
  2. The Royal Pavilion
    Brighton
    “The Royal Pavilion has a rich history which stretches back over 200 years. Built as the seaside pleasure palace for King George IV, it has also served as a civic building, First World War hospital, and has become a true icon of Brighton.”
  3. Riverside Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid
    Glasgow, Scotland
    “Located where the Kelvin joins the Clyde, the museum’s design flows from the city to the river; symbolizing a dynamic relationship where the museum is the voice of both, connecting the city to the river and also the transition from one to the other.”
  4. “The Armadillo”
    Glasgow, Scotland
    “The SEC Armadillo is a stylish, purpose-built venue and a Glasgow landmark. It was designed by world-renowned architects Foster + Partners and when it opened in 1997 it heralded a new era for the SEC and Glasgow’s vibrant waterfront.”

 

  1. The Great Court — at the British Museum in London
    London
    “Designed by Foster and Partners, the Great Court is a two-acre space enclosed by a spectacular glass roof with the world-famous Reading Room in the middle.

    In the original Robert Smirke Great Court design, the courtyard was supposed to be a garden. However, from 1852 many bookstacks were built, and along with the Reading Room it became the home of the library department of the Museum.”
