Bell Street Stables after conversion. The 1890s industrial building in Calton, Glasgow, was built to house the cleansing department, including its many Clydesdale horses. Circulation was designed for use by horses, including a cobbled courtyard, a horse-scale ramp to all floors, and cobbled external gangways on the courtyard side which gave access to the upper floors. The building has been converted into affordable-rent flats, with the gangways repurposed for the tenants as access balconies (Photo: Andrew Lee for Collective Architects and the Wheatley Group).
