The Lighthouse
Glasgow City, GB
The Lighthouse is the renamed, A-listed conversion of the former offices of the Glasgow Herald newspaper. Completed in 1895, it was designed by the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The Lighthouse was Scotland's Centre for Design and Architecture. It was opened as part of Glasgow's status as the
UK City of Architecture and Design in 1999 and closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In November 2025, it was reported that the building had been leased to Sustainable Ventures.
