Niche Harp

March 02, 2016 by Thomas Hope

This was a nice project working with architects during the building of a new children's hospital in Glasgow. The 'Niche Harp' is built into the stair wall so that children can strum the harp strings as they walk up & down stairs.

This project was shortlisted for the Saltire Society Art in Architecture Awards 2012.
