It is all rhythm and stance: long horizontal window bands, a lifted podium, then that separate tower holding everything steady. Capturing it as a model meant chasing the proportions between the main slab and the service tower, and keeping the bridge connections legible at a smaller scale.

Recognised with Category A listing, it remains a standout example of Glasgow’s late-1960s Brutalist housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1981\" data-end=\"2348\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU ORDERS \u003c\/strong\u003eprocessed through our Etsy Store \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Anniesland Court - miniature concrete model\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/uk\/listing\/4499732088\/anniesland-court-glasgow-concrete\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete.
