<\/a> <\/p>\nThe University of Glasgow is powering ahead with its drive to build more on-campus accommodation with the delivery of new student residences at Lilybank Gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n Intended to improve commute times and expenses, the housing will serve as a link between Ashton Lane and the fast-changing Western Campus.<\/p>\n Overseen by Stallan-Brand<\/a>, the proposals bridge a 4.5m change in level at the current car park while retaining higher-quality trees along the northern and western boundaries. Accommodation is split between two matching blocks, which will reinstate a tenemental frontage to the gardens while introducing a pedestrian through route to Byres Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n Documenting their architectural approach, the architects wrote: “The buildings facades have been developed to create a strong sense of hierarchy. This combines an articulated ground floor containing a mix of building entrances, commercial spaces and amenity spaces. A distinction is expressed between formal gardens-facing stone facades and more informal white brick-faced facades towards the lanes.”<\/p>\n Combining pre-cast concrete at lower levels with stone piers and precast lintels defining the mid-section, all topped by an aluminium crown. Paired bedrooms permit a symmetrical window arrangement with the lane elevation finished in clean white brick.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t A smaller scale setback block frames the lane entrance from Great George Street<\/p>\n\n \n <\/a> <\/p>\n
