Description

Cumbrae House, located at 5-15 Bridge Street in Glasgow, is a three-storey Art Deco office building with a set-back attic, designed by Launcelot H Ross in 1937-1938 and restored by the Houston Bryce Partnership in 1988. The building features a steel frame with concrete details by Considere Construction, large windows divided by piers, and glazed tile cladding. The exterior is adorned with cream tiles that are separated from a black base course by a pale blue band. The first and second floor windows are united vertically with a panelled metal fascia in between. A canted panelled corner includes a corbelled tower that supports a flagpole.

The west elevation facing Bridge Street is symmetrical with five bays, featuring a central entrance where the fascia steps up over the Art Deco lettering that reads "CUMBRAE HOUSE."

The south elevation on Carlton Court has a shallow butterfly plan, highlighted by a tall central stair tower with three narrow vertical glazing strips. This is flanked by a four-bay wing to the west and a two-bay wing to the east, the latter of which includes a door and a row of small windows at ground level.

The ground floor has modern plate glass windows, while the upper floors feature metal multi-pane casements. The interior consists largely of renewed modern office spaces.
