THE ROYAL
Team Members: Suraj P Suresh, Shashank Gedala

The Royal Hotel, acquired by The Glasgow School of Art in 2022 and transformed into student accommodation, offers a fascinating story when viewed through the lens of a designer.
Embarking on this research project was driven by my curiosity. Exploring the history and experiences intertwined within the walls of this building unveils a captivating narrative of continuity, adaptability, and the transformative power of spaces throughout time.
In this project, the Historical Research Methodology was employed, incorporating multiple research methods to unravel the captivating story of the building.
