Building Information

Some towers are a reference point. Anniesland Court is one of those Glasgow buildings you spot from a moving car or train and instantly know where you are.

Its most striking move is the separate stair and lift tower, bridged to the main block at alternate levels, giving the building a strong, engineered silhouette.

It's also the only tower block in Glasgow to have Category A listed status, and it is recorded as the tallest listed building in Scotland. The banded elevations and the confident service tower is seen as inspiration for Ernő Goldfinger’s later London towers,

Building Information
Location: Glasgow, Scotland
Architect: Jack Holmes & Partners
Completed: 1968
Status: Category A listed, in use as housing with ground-level offices

Brief Overview:
Anniesland Court was built as a landmark high-rise housing scheme with a podium and linked elements, including a terrace deck and associated lower blocks. The design pairs a narrow residential slab with a separate stair and lift tower, connected by enclosed bridges at alternate floors, creating a strong structural character and a distinctive profile. Recognised with Category A listing, it remains a standout example of Glasgow’s late-1960s Brutalist housing.

Making my concrete model

I love this building for its clarity. 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. I iterated the form to make sure it still reads as Anniesland in one glance, with the same sense of height and presence.

A small cast of a Glasgow tower that still anchors the west end skyline.
