Soller Real Estate’s Base Glasgow, the student housing development designed by Mosaic Architecture + Design, has opened its doors.
Developed for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS), the building was conceived as a rectangular urban block alongside the B-listed Piping Centre and A-listed Scottish Ambulance building.
The stone-clad student residential development at Dunblane Street, Glasgow offers a mixture of studio apartments, six-bedroom cluster flats and accessible studio apartments. The bedroom accommodation takes the form of a U-shaped plan, which reinforces the existing street pattern and steps back from the listed buildings at the upper level.
Supporting this is a suitable amenity space provision, including practice rooms, dedicated study areas and common rooms for socialising. A private landscaped courtyard area offers multifunctional external amenity space for residents, along with a secure bike storage area within the lower ground and ground floor areas.
Nick Treadaway of Soller Real Estate, said, “Our BASE Glasgow development brings to the city centre 301 high specification student units and is located within three minutes of the RCS. Illustrating our desire to develop first class properties, we collaborated with the RCS to design a number of elements to accommodate some of the finest music and dramatic art students in the world.
“BASE is fitted with soundproof music practice facilities, a high quality gym, and a cinema room – to name a few of its features. This is the first of Soller Real Estate’s developments in Glasgow with more exciting schemes in the pipeline in both Glasgow and the wider UK.”
