Wonder how many people at the time hated the beresford building for being too modern and overpowering?
Not saying I like the proposal but style has to move on or what you end up with is the city centre equivelant of one of these brand new housing estates built in the style of a cotswald village.
If the developers are brave enough it will be built. If their gamble fails, nobody will move in and it wont last very long. Im willing to bet that 99% of people who walk down Sauchihall st dont even realise there are 1st and 2nd floors on the buildings so as long as the shop or ground floor entrance is acceptable its only going to be us on HG who actually care about the rest.
