The 700 space car park designed by Hypostyle is the first of 4 multi storey units proposed to serve the New South Glasgow Hospitals campus, which is currently under construction. The car park is the first new building to be erected along the new spine road, and is a significant element within the new hospital development. 25 Aug 2011
World Architecture Festival Awards Shortlist
Multi-Storey Car Park, Glasgow + Advanced Forming Research Centre at Strathclyde University - both designed by Hypostyle Architects, Glasgow, are the only built projects in Scotland to be nominated in the annual WAF Awards.
Crown Street Phases 5 & 6 are the final phases of the critically acclaimed New Gorbals redevelopment in conjunction with Redrow Homes.
Comprising a total of 203 town houses, flats and duplex apartments, this completion of the New Gorbals masterplan follows on from the success of Hypostyle's earlier Phase 2B development.

This development has a balanced contemporary feel in form, materials and scale. At the South West junction of Caledonia Road and Cathcart Road, two arterial roads into Glasgow City Centre, the massing rises up each side of twin stone towers to a larger scale befitting a major city gateway.
This gateway status is further enhanced wit the incorporation of one of the city's largest new civic artworks 'the Gatekeeper' by artist group Heisenberg.
