THE GREEN HALL.
The Green Hall is a central gathering point for the Garten community, acting as both a foyer and a lively circulation area. Upon arrival from Elmbank Street, visitors are welcomed by grand wooden doors and a custom vestibule inspired by Glasgow’s famed Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens.
As the community’s core, the Green Hall features an eye-catching green planter with integrated resident letterboxes, along with a reception and community blackboard that pays tribute to the site’s former life as a high school. The blackboard serves as a communication hub, displaying cooking schedules, upcoming events, and communal meeting information. This inviting space encourages impromptu interaction among neighbours, promoting a tight-knit, connected community.
