STEINER

A HISTORY OF CULTIVATING IMAGINATION

The towering Victorian building, which has lain empty since 2013, served as the Independent Glasgow Steiner School for nearly three decades.

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), an Austrian-born scientist and philosopher, was renowned for his educational philosophy of cultivating a pupil’s imagination and creativity as well as their knowledge and practical skills in a holistic way.

Until being reimagined as luxury apartments, the building has served as a place of learning, opening as the Overnewton Public School in 1876.

With its architectural significance and heritage, the listed school building has been retained and restored wherever possible.

Specialist craftspeople have carefully restored the stonework, including external detailing such as the original moulded stone school motive and a sculpted Glasgow coat of arms.
