Planning application filed for Lenzie Moss Primary
May 14 2015
East Dunbartonshire Council and Holmes Miller Architects have lodged plans for a replacement Lenzie Moss Primary School in north east Glasgow.Located on land adjacent to the existing school the scheme is focused on a large central hall around which is arranged ancillary accommodation and twin teaching wings, articulated by a large over sailing canopy which shelters roof terraces and external classrooms.
In their design statement Holmes Miller noted: “The building forms derives largely from the plan arrangement, with the cloak pods and terraces aligning as the main feature of the long elevations. The pods create a ‘saw toothed’ elevation, which offers opportunities for articulation and expression, with animated, vibrant and functional external teaching spaces occupying the enclosed space between each of the pods, creating a building of character.
“The two wings of the building can be easily read, and are expressed as individual components, linked with the central hall spaces.”
A single storey nursery element will reduce the mass of the building to the north.
