history
The Scottish architect John "Jack" Charles Holmes, owner of Jack Holmes & Partners, was responsible for the design of Anniesland Court . Holmes' design was accepted in June 1966 and construction began that same year. The building, completed in 1968, consists of the 23-story tower and a low-rise building on the south side. The latter was revised in 1985.
description
Anniesland Court is at the junction of Bearsden Road and Great Western Road ( A82 ) in the northwestern Anniesland district of Glasgow . Architecturally, there are parallels to the later built Trellick Tower in London . Both residential high-rise buildings are stylistically attributable to brutalism and have separate service towers with elevator shafts and stairwells.
The Anniesland Court originally housed 126 apartments, 84 three-room apartments and 42 one-room apartments. A shopping center and library are housed in the low-rise building in front of it.
