Glasgow Interiors
Helen Kendrick
Neale Smith
Glasgow has a dazzling array of buildings and is internationally renowned for its history of architectural innovation, design excellence and unique brand of urban glamour, both cosmopolitan and gritty. But unlike other world-class cities – London, Paris, New York among them – until now there has been no publication to showcase the interiors of Glasgow’s built heritage. This book is a stunningly presented guide to Glasgow’s most spectacular historic interiors. Featuring 35 interiors of some of the city’s most alluring buildings – both public and private – Glasgow Interiors features magnificent interior shots and accompanying text telling the story of each building, its historical context and owner. From a dramatic Victorian swimming bath and glittering art deco restaurants to intricately detailed art nouveau warehouses and imposing Edwardian townhouses in the city’s West End, the book demonstrates the extraordinary wealth of interiors that lie behind the facades of Glasgow’s buildings.
