The statue of Light & Life (95 Morrison Street)

 

95 Morrison Street, originally known as Co-operative House, was opened on 2 January 1897 as the headquarters of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society. The building was designed by architects Bruce & Hay, with much of the exterior sculptural works by James Alexander Ewing. The original statue by Ewing, was known as 'Light and Life' however, the statue fell into disrepair and was removed.

On 16 June 2016, a replacement statue of Light and Life, created by sculptor Kenny Mackay and closely resembling the original, was reinstated at the top of the 150ft tall tower during the restoration of the building’s roof.The building has since been repurposed into apartments.

Blairtummock House

 Blairtummock House is a category B-listed building located in the Easterhouse area of Glasgow. Simpson & Brown were the architects for its conversion to an Enterprise Centre providing office accommodation, with the principal rooms being available for hire by businesses and local community groups.

The house dates from the 18th century. It was altered many times in the 19th century, but was most radically remodelled in 1904 by iron-master Andrew Lamberton. After compulsory purchase in 1954 the house was internally stripped, sub-divided and finally left empty. At the inception of this project it was in an exceptionally poor condition. Failure of the gutters and roofs had led to extensive dry and wet rot affecting many of the timbers and materials leaving some areas unstable.

Simpson & Brown prepared a Conservation Plan which recorded the building’s historical development, assessed and graded significance and outlined the conservation needs. By tracing Lamberton family members, plans and photographs were obtained which showed building elements that had been lost. Options for the future use of the building were assessed with office use recommended as the most sustainable option and offering the greatest benefit to the local community.
