Revised flats design wins consent in Glasgow’s west end
April 24 2019
Do-Architecture has won consent for new residential development in Glasgow’s west end at the second time of asking after ditching a contentious mansard roof.
Revised designs for the North Claremont Street build do away with this zinc feature in favour of a setback ‘glazed rooftop lantern’, providing duplex space for two upper apartments which each benefit from a private rooftop terrace.
In a design statement outlining the changes the architects wrote: “The top level is enclosed with glazed curtain walling to present a ribbon of glass that is reflective and recedes by day and glows after dark - this level is set back from the main stone building below.”
Finished in natural stone rainscreen the revised build also benefits from the inclusion of additional deep reveal windows.

Is there any carparking?
'Proximity to the commercial centre of Glasgow alongside strong transport links via regular arterial bus services on Sauchiehall Street make this site viable for reduced parking standard. A car club located 300m from this site further reduces the need for in curtilage parking.'

Either that or moaning for the sake of moaning? Pffft
Rock and roll, man. Keep livin' the dream.
And McPhabbs was always a bustling, cool, dingy and candlelit pub until some clowns bought it over, stripped it out, stuck in light pine furniture & spotlights, and turned it into the bland, soulless nowhere it is now. Now it's quiet and forever closing down and reopening. If only someone could possibly solve this mystery (hint: I don't think it's because the area changed).
