B-listed Garnethill school to welcome 21 build-to-rent homes
January 4 2024
A former school and one-time hospital in Garnethill is to be restored as part of plans to create 21 build-to-rent homes in Glasgow City Centre.
The B-listed Mount Building, which dates back to 1882, was originally established as Glasgow's first Hospital for Sick Children, operating until 1914, when the hospital moved to Yorkhill.
Thereafter, it became part of St Aloysius’ College, housing its Music and Art department. Developer Nevis Properties acquired the Mount Building from the school in October and has partnered with Mosaic Architecture & Design, to preserve the building's heritage through the work.
The B-listed main building will be renovated to provide 18 one and two-bedroom apartments – five of which will feature private terraces – alongside a trio of new three-bedroom mews houses which will all have a private patio.
Dan Challis, an associate at Mosaic Architecture & Design, commented: “We have worked with the existing building layouts to ensure that any alterations being made will minimise their impact on the existing structure thus safeguarding the building's historic integrity. Furthermore, extensive research has been carried out on the city's traditional Mews style buildings to provide a design for the new build homes that is in keeping with the city's historical language.”
Nevis Properties aims to commence construction in the summer of 2024 and complete the development by the summer of 2025.
