McGregor Bowes is an award-winning, architecture studio, committed to conserving architecture and design excellence.

The practice was established in 2010 by Chris Bowes. Chris studied at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, qualifying in 1991. He is a chartered Architect with over 30 years of experience working in architectural practice and has worked in offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, and Hong Kong. During this time he has worked in most sectors and has extensive experience in a wide range of projects, both large and small, refurbishment and new build, including residential, schools, healthcare, commercial and further education.

Chris has particular expertise and interest in the care, restoration, and sensitive adaptation of historic buildings. He has conservation accreditation to the highest level with both the RIAS and RIBA and is also on the register of Architects Accredited in Building Conservation (AABC).

Immediately before starting McGregor Bowes, Chris worked with Campbell and Arnott, during which time he was promoted to associate in 2003. During his ten years there he expanded his knowledge of traditional materials and techniques and was responsible for various high-profile and award-winning projects. These include work on some of Scotland’s most significant landmarks.
