The sensitive refurbishment of Napiershall Street School, which first opened in 1900 and closed in the 1980s, has restored many key period features, including its central atrium and grand staircase.

Known as The Old Schoolhouse, the 49-apartment development includes two collections: The Primary Collection – featuring 24 meticulously renovated apartments within the original school building – and The Principal Collection, a new build consisting of 25 apartments that seamlessly integrate with the surrounding neighbourhood.

The apartments are designed in three distinct themes – Berlin, Vienna and Copenhagen – with an enhanced specification for the penthouse collection. Each design is carefully selected to offer a variety of styles and finishes, ensuring every apartment reflects a commitment to modern luxury living, while preserving the character of the building. The show home itself has been created by designer Emily Fotheringham and showcases the penthouse specification allowing prospective buyers to experience the luxury finishes.

Kelvin Properties continues to grow as one of Glasgow’s leading developers, known for its work in transforming disused sites into thriving residential communities. The Old Schoolhouse is its latest project in a portfolio that includes the conversion of Broomhill Public School into The Atrium and Waverley Park in Shawlands, which sold out in less than three months.

Marc Taylor, director at Kelvin Properties, said: “We are passionate about transforming underutilised brownfield sites and sensitively restoring Glasgow’s historic architecture where possible.

“The Old Schoolhouse exemplifies our approach, blending the rich heritage of this former school with what people expect from modern apartments.

“While we’ve respected its history, we’ve also focused on the needs of people today – with an emphasis on creating spaces that enable indoor-outdoor living.”
