Old Carntyne Church, a listed building in Shettleston in the east end of Glasgow, has been given a new lease of life, now providing 19 homes for the over-55s in a mix of old and new, all built to the highest quality. The flats in the new 5 storey block alongside the church have achieved the Passivhaus standard, and across a glazed link, in the old church itself, the remaining 13 flats plus a semi-detached 3-bed home have been built using the same methods and skills.
