Holyrood windows 'put MSPs in dark'

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2004 / January 28

Bizaare window designs at the new Scottish Parliament threaten to leave MSPs working in the dark, it was claimed today. Many of the politicians who have been to inspect their new offices are complaining about the lack of natural daylight in the rooms. They blame the unusually-shaped "think bubble" windows in the MSP block, which architect Enric Miralles said were inspired by Sir Henry Raeburn's famous painting of the Rev Robert Walker skating on Duddingston Loch. And it doesn't help that there are luxury flats just a few yards away.
