Glasgow pyramid

Over in our Glasgow office for meetings before popping out to see my mum.

Here's the Ca'd'Oro building in Gordon/Union Street, looking resplendent in the sunshine.

The building's architect John Honeyman is said to have based his design for what was originally a furniture warehouse, opened in 1872, on the "Golden House" in Venice. It was built using triple-arched cast iron frames with masonry arches above the shops below. Above the arches, large bay and round windows are framed by Doric and Corinthian columns.

Hope you have had a good day.
