The Luma Tower is one of the best preserved are deco buildings in Glasgow and as a result has had category B listing status since 1988. Of course, this is no longer used for light bulb manufacturing (its original purpose), having been converted into apartments in the early 90s after a period of dereliction.

In fact, the housing association that took on the building pretty much stopped this one from being demolished, so credit is definitely due in that direction. It resulted in 43 apartments in the original building, with a further 12 in a ‘creative reproduction’ of the original building’s style to the rear.

While the structure maintains the 1930s look, the interior is a rather cool retro/modern finish, with subdued shades for the walls, some classic design pieces dotted around the place and a lovely flow about the place. You can imagine this being a great place for a party or family gathering.
