Gordon Murray and Alan Dunlop Architects have lodged a Detailed Planning
Application with Glasgow City Council for the former Odeon Cinema
on West Regent Street to create a mix Grade A Office, Restaurant and
Leisure Complex, retaining the original 1930s Art Deco
corner frontage on Renfield Street.
The proposals are for Duddingston House Properties and include the
demolition of the brick box, which was the cinema auditorium,
to the rear of the Art Deco building. The application comes after
3 years of marketing to attract occupiers to a nightclub and restaurant
complex. A previous application was granted planning consent by the
Council in 2004.

Gordon Murray + Alan Dunlop Architects, designers of the award winning
Sentinel office building, have developed a strikingly cool contemporary
mixed commercial development.The retained section will be restored
to its original 1934 design. This city landmark will be re-named The
Paramount Building recognising its heritage. The Paramount was
the cinema's original name.
The architects believe that the project will act as a catalyst for
the regeneration of this part of the city centre. Adoption of the
state of the art glass technology, to enhance transparency,
is designed to embody the memory and scale of the former auditorium
at street level with an office tower set back over eleven storeys
and accessed from West Nile Street.
Following detailed talks with Historic Scotland and the City Planning
Department, this creates an opportunity to remove the least attractive
building in the City Centre. Additionally, it will introduce a much
improved and vibrant streetscape along both West Regent Street and
West Nile Street.
