Glasgow student housing plan given towering revision

Source: http://www.scottishconstructionnow.com

A student housing project planned for Glasgow’s High Street is set to be even taller than originally proposed.Revised plans submitted by ADF Architects and Structured House Group show the Merchant Point project to be extended beyond the 12-storey plan lodged to Glasgow City Council earlier this year.Following discussions with the council, the prominent corner elevation has been rounded off to provide a softer view on the George Street junction.A retail element will still be included on the ground floor levels while a decked roof garden is now included.
