<\/a> <\/p>\nNew plans for a contentious apartment block<\/a> in Glasgow’s west end have been drawn up to better integrate with the historic Hillhead address.<\/p>\n Following discussions with Glasgow City Council EMA Architects and Wemyss Properties have swapped out buff for red sandstone in the latest design revision, with the roof switched to grey standing seam zinc. The main entrance has also been pushed back to provide a deeper recess.<\/p>\n The ground floor plan has also been updated to include an additional dual-aspect flat while a relocated bin store is now accessible from the main lobby.<\/p>\n Summarising the latest changes EMA<\/a> wrote: “One of the most notable changes is to the fa\u00e7ades along Cranworth Street and Cresswell Street. The window arrangements, particularly on the upper floors, have been rationalised, with the dormer windows reduced in size. This adjustment ensures a more consistent rhythm in the facade that aligns more closely with the proportions and design language of the adjacent tenements.”<\/p>\n Salvaged features from the B-listed Hillhead Baptist Church, to be demolished to make way for the development, such as columns, stonework and windows will be displayed in a courtyard garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t EMA contend that the project will be an ‘elegant addition’ to Hillhead<\/p>\n\n \n <\/a> <\/p>\n
