#glasgow architecture
Now I really wish I could afford a house like this. Beautiful facade with red sandstone, I probably just missed out the winter sun shining on it. And the wee car in front of it just made it proportionally massive.
Imagine the world awaits you behind the door. It’s going to be magical.
The estate might have been ruined by some dated 70s residential blocks, but the mansion The Knowe is still standing strong. Designed by Alexander Greek Thomson, the gate and lodge remains but not well maintained.
It’s getting dark at 3pm, but this building is still gorgeous. It’s now a nursing home, wonder how the conversion worked out internally. Regardless it’s a beautiful place to retire.
In the limelight.
Blythswood Square Hotel -Part II
The interior is stunning.
Guess the building. Hint: Glasgow city centre
It’s the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel. Previously the home of Royal Scottish Automobile Club, the building is now home to the 5 star hotel.
Brutalist architecture is quite common in Glasgow. Many dislike their ‘brutal’ appearance but Langside Estate to the south of Queen’s Park is rather attractive under the wintry sun.
Managed to visit Kelvingrove Museum during their first week of reopening since the nation lockdown in March. It’s weird to see the museum empty, and there are less than 30 people allowed to enter at the same time slot. But on the other hand it also means that I can take photo of the interior without much human interference.
Layer above layer. It’s busy on the street, and everything above the street as well.
One of the most elaborate building facade in Glasgow. Shame it’s facing a noisy motorway with bad air pollution.
They finally got rid of weeds that were growing out of the stone elevation. Looking good with the fairy lights.

Located in Southside, or Newlands to be exact, the abandoned school is awaiting it’s new fate either becoming a new residential flats or a mansion.
It was a really sunny day in Glasgow. Clear blue sky with minimal clouds. Gallery of Modern Art at the Royal Exchange Square is looking charming. I just love the composition here between the old and new buildings.
Which colour version do you prefer?
Sometimes you wonder why they blindfolded him, and made him eternal.
Used to store money. Now they store German beer here. But the building still look majestic!
The red sandstone is becoming shades of pink. What do you think?
