Platform, Central Quay Residential Apartments

Central Quay takes a prominent position on the banks of the River Clyde and plays a key role in the regeneration of the riverside area. The impressive scheme includes more than 450 apartments, a hotel, retail and office space.

Platform appointed Keppie Design to develop the residential areas of the building, including the vast roof spaces, which have been transformed into two raised, low maintenance garden/courtyards for residents to enjoy.

The scheme has recently been named Build to Rent Property of the Year in the 2024 Scottish Property Awards.

Taking the Keppie team’s designs, we recreated the planter designs using our software, visualising the structures across the two podium gardens.

The final designs included 25 planters, a series of large L-shaped rectangular and angular designs, and several planter benches, which were positioned to create private areas for residents.

Our raised planters can be designed in any shape or size, and can include seating, bespoke angles, tiers and curves. The design possibilities are almost endless thanks to the modular nature of WoodBlocX.
