Central Quay Glasgow
Graeme Nicholls Architects are working with developer Summix Capital as part of a wider project team to deliver a mixed-use development on a 4.43-acre brownfield site at Central Quay in the Anderston neighbourhood of Glasgow. The development will include private for-sale flats and houses; flexible office space; and purpose-built student accommodation, while commercial space will be provided on the ground floor to create active street fronts.
We are designing Block C, while our project collaborators 3D Reid Architects are designing the other 3 blocks.
Our urban block will be mixed-use, featuring commercial and service spaces on the ground floor and residential apartments on the upper levels.
The new homes in our block will provide a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom flats in addition to ground-floor duplex townhouses to provide various accommodation types.The homes will be energy-efficient, having been designed in accordance with ‘Gold Standard’ environmental performance in the current Building Standards.
Our proposed urban perimeter block comprises distinct, interconnected volumes consisting of a plinth, and four corner towers, inkeeping with the massing principles adopted in the wider Central Quay development.
