A former bank at Blythswood Square is to court a new generation of office workers with plans for a rooftop extension and outdoor amenity space.<\/p>\n

Xafinity Pension Trustees, owners of 14 Blythswood Square<\/a>, aim to overhaul the B-listed building by replacing the existing curtain wall and improving amenities to remain attractive to tenants.<\/p>\n

In a design statement, 3DReid<\/a> noted: “The extension\u2019s massing is kept deliberately modest to remain subservient to the host building. Materials have been selected to respect and complement the historic setting while providing a contemporary contrast in a sensitive matter.”<\/p>\n

Maintaining the character of the Georgian terrace works will be discreet in nature with new additions including a zinc roof, loft studio and glazed balustrade recessed behind the principal elevation. A new curtain wall will be a like-for-like replacement of the existing stairwell facade.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 10 2025 A former bank at Blythswood Square is to court a new generation of office workers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3939],"tags":[7530,4021,4020,748,4022,77,97568,92856,12,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-253614","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-architecture-in-the-uk","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-britain","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-georgian-terrace-to-up-its-game-on-blythswood-square","15":"tag-july-2025","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114829252638370291","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
