Spireview Housing Association, Mast Architects and MB landscape architects have put forward plans to create a new community hub behind the retained façade of the former Rosemount School at Roystonhill, Glasgow.

Offering a range of meeting rooms, office space the 565sq/m project aims to tie in with the A-listed Royston Spire through improvements to Spire Park, where high maintenance costs have led to it falling into disrepair.

Finished in cream Ivanhoe brickwork, re-used sandstone, green and anthracite zinc the new build manages to squeeze a double height volume behind the single storey façade through use of a cranked roof profile.   

Outlining their design Mast wrote: “The retention of the Roystonhill elevation has meant that there is a fantastically interesting roofscape and articulated transition between the double gable and flat roof of the front portion of the building to the new portal frame to the rear.”
