Cunninghame HA Offices

Cunninghame Housing Association’s new headquarters at Ardrossan Marina occupies a prominent quayside location within a recently completed office building. MAST were engaged to develop the internal fit-out, turning the original shell into a practical and contemporary workplace for the Association’s staff, committee and visitors.

The accommodation is organised around open-plan office areas and meeting spaces for individual departments, alongside an executive suite incorporating offices for the Chief Executive and a dedicated boardroom. Part of the building was also planned as lettable office space, allowing third-party organisations to share the wider facility.

The interior design strategy was developed closely with the client, using a restrained palette of finishes alongside glazed partitions, graphics and feature elements to give individual spaces a clear identity. These interventions help maintain openness and natural light while providing the privacy required for meetings and focused work.

Particular attention was given to the reception area, which acts as the main public-facing space within the building. Artwork, graphics and feature lighting create a clear point of arrival and provide a more welcoming setting for tenants, consultants and other visitors.

The completed fit-out provides Cunninghame Housing Association with a flexible headquarters that supports its day-to-day operations while accommodating future growth, whilst its central location at Ardrossan Marina places the organisation within a wider area of ongoing investment and regeneration along the town’s waterfront.
