Wellwood Leslie Architects have been successful in securing planning permission and listed building consent for the refurbishment, conversion, and vertical extension of the upper floors of the buildings to form modern serviced 1-bedroom apartments and studios. The accommodation is intended for the rental market and provides a communal resident’s lounge on the 7th floor which benefits from panoramic views over Glasgow city centre.
