ARCHITECTURE 23
In an ordinary Victorian tenement on an ordinary street in Govanhil is a flat that is anything but ordinary. Walk through its bottle- green door and you'll find yourself ensconced in 25 square metres of Mondrian-esque colour and confident fform, where razor-sharp lines dissolve into curved openings and a compact floorspace is offset by soaring ceilings. There's nowhere else like it in Glasgow - perhaps not even in Scotland - so it has a natural home here in what is arguably the city's liveliets creative hub.
Owned by experimental urbanist Duncan Blackmore, the flat – named Ferguson after one of its previous occupants – serves as a base for him to stay, work and entertainreally interesting energy with lots of entrepreneurialism, self-expression, freedom and tension,” says Duncan. “It’s invigorating to be around.”
