Art Deco Social Housing, Rosemount Square, Aberdeen
Rosemount Square (actually horse shoe shaped) was a social experiment which grew from an exploration of what a modern tenement could be like, a far cry from the then typical tenement building of the Scottish cities. The building was inspired by visits to social housing in Europe. Rosemount Square was largely designed by Leo Durnin under Alexander Buchanan Gardner at the City Architect’s Department. It is one of the last granite load bearing buildings in Aberdeen (as opposed to using a steel frame). It is Grade A listed.
Included in the building cost were three sculptured panels by Thomas Huxley-Jones representing Rain Image, Wind Image and Cold but only Wind and Rain were completed, in an effort to save money. A view of the inner courtyard is here: Image
