Resident Accommodation

Varied in layout and size, each apartment comprises a generous accessible bedroom, ensuite and living area. Ensuring residents have their own areas for relaxing and socialising.

Each resident apartment is designed to support the individuality of its inhabitant, and their varied needs and desires. The flats aim to provide a framework for evolving routines and activities, allowing flexibility for residents to play an active role in the creation of their home.

Specified schemes and arrangements are offered to residents, they may decide to bring their own furniture and customise finishes, such as paint colours and flooring. Original beams, fixed shelving, built-in wardrobes, fireplaces, kitchens, bathrooms will remain consistent within apartments, and create unity with communal areas across the Complex.

Each apartment gives a differing perspective across the courtyard and external surroundings. Looking out North towards the Walled Gardens, South to the river and West to Pollok House.

Domestic space is an extension of self, therefore residents have autonomy to use, display and store personal belongings.

Familiar objects provide comfort, easing the transition into a new environment, and creating ownership of space. These items are physical and emotive representations of loved ones, time and place. Communicating the identity of their collectors and aiding to evoke memories.

Flat 3 houses a large dualaspect bedroom. Daylight aids the inhabitants orientation in time. Birchwood shelves display precious items opposite the bed. A small seating corner provides a rest spot while dressing, and a place to enjoy the views and sounds of the river.

The bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, with moveable stool for support.

An area overlooks the treelined paths towards Pollok House, and accommodates storage for a range of hobbies such as painting.

Three of six apartments feature domestic-scale kitchens, arranged to allow the aromas of home cooking to fill the space if desired. Such familiar smells may bring comfort, particularly to those who are bed-bound, continuing feelings of the normality of home.

Flat 7 gives residents private space to enjoy cooking and baking, with an open dining/living area where they may share a meal with loved ones, or eat outdoors on the extension.

The dual-aspect bedroom gives views onto the Walled Gardens, deep walls provide window seats looking towards Pollok House and the river. The soft glow of Kartell Geen-a table lamps create a relaxing atmosphere.

The shower room sits under the apex of the former dovecot. Custom handrails in burnished brass give stability, and visual contrast against Ignorance is Bliss monochrome tiles.
