Having rented a penthouse I can tell you that what you saw was not the origional penthouses. The penthouses were ripped apart to make office space. The origional penthouses was a futuristic imagining of what life could be, and the finish of the penthouses was an interior designers dream. You opened the front door into a large area. The ceiling was in wooden slats, there was an open wood half staircase down to the bedroom with a porthole window. Opposite the bedroom was a beautifully fitted bathroom. Go back up the half open slatted wooden stairs to the entrance - then up another open wooden half stair case to a large sittingroom with underfloor heating with the external wall all glass looking over the hills. At the back of the sitting room was an open wooden stair leading to the kitchen/dining area - with windows looking onto the hills the other side. From the kitchen was another open wood staircase leading to the rooftop garden. All the ceilings were wooden slats throughout the building. All these feature were removed to make office space - which was unseccessful.

Amazing first hand account of the space. Indeed, they can be briefly seen in the film Cumbernauld: A Town for Tomorrow.

@@MartinHannett_ Just watched a Town for Tomorrow and I could not see the interior of any penthouse. When you moved into a penthouse there was nothing but the rooms - no shelves, cupboards - it was all totally futuristic empty space but well designed. There were also 'rules' - such as NO children to live in the penthouse, and you had to provide income/status before you were allocated a penthouse. As a result living in the penthouse was living in an echo chamber of wealthy childless people - not representative of society. I found it incredibly dreary. Equisite design, rubbish community! My husband was a landscape architect/town planner and had been seconded to work for C Development Company. There were many aspirations as to how the new town should work - but many aspirations were totally unpractical. Take the roof gardens of the Town Centre - they were supposed to be a kind of jungle experience, but the only thing that would grow on the roof was Arctic Moss, so it was decieded to make the roof into a sculpture garden. First high winds the sculptures/stones blew off the roof and cracked the penthouse windows - so in the end the roof became asphalt and moss. This next thing is just bizarre - it was hoped that F1 racing could be attracted to Cumbernauld, so the road system was built to adapt to F1 racing and the pit stops were alledgedly going to be under the shopping centre. To me, Cumbernauld is a monument to the failures of government interference in social engineering.

People sitting here in 2024 really need to drop their attitudes and realise that back then people were often moving from shty housing with inadequate room for their families. So these were luxury. That crpy people ended up living there was the roll of the dice - those sort of people can live anywhere

Guess your dreams always end They don't rise up, just descend I don't care anymore I've lost the will to want more I'm not afraid, not at all I watch them all as they fall But I remember When we were young Those with habits of waste Their sense of style and good taste Of making sure you were right Hey, don't you know you were right? I'm not afraid anymore I keep my eyes on the door But I remember Tears of sadness for you More upheaval for you Reflects a moment in time A special moment in time Yeah, we wasted our time We didn't really have time But we remember When we were young All God's angels, beware All you judges, beware Sons of chance, take good care For all the people not there I'm not afraid anymore I'm not afraid anymore I'm not afraid anymore Oh, I'm not afraid anymore

The problem is that everything is taken for granted, people are given flats and they do not appreciate that, even if a flat is is in a nice new built house. Heard someone complaining that they did not have nice flooring in their flat… Just an ordinary carpet. They preferred to have wooden flooring… 😢

Letting loose the lunatics wasn't the greatest of ideas Giving them plans and money to squander Should have been the worst of our fears The dream life luxury living was a pleasant number 10 whim But somewhere down the line of production They left out human beings They were gonna build communities It was going to be pie in the sky But the piss stench hallways and broken down lifts Say the planners dream went wrong If people were made to live in boxes God would have given them string To tie around their selves at bed time And stop their dreams falling through the ceiling And the public school boy computers Keep spewing out our future The house in the country designs the 14th floor Old Mrs. Smith don't get out much more Coitus interrupts 'cause of next doors rows Your washing gets nicked when the lights go out Baby's scream in the nightmare throng But planners just get embarrassed when their plans go wrong!
