Developing urban residential concepts…

The success of good urban habitat relies upon the creation of spaces that are both protected, comfortable and enjoyable.

For too long, this site has remained stalled, an underutilised piece of Glasgow’s urban fabric overlooking the River Clyde.

At a time when initiatives such as the recent GIA / GCC / RIAS Visioning Glasgow programme are rightly challenging us to think differently about the future of the city, it is vital that key sites like this begin to move forward.

Following a constructive Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) process undertaken by the @peelwaters , we are now progressing proposals for a new private for-sale residential development within Yorkhill Quay at Glasgow Waters - one of Scotland’s most significant residential-led masterplans, that will reintroduce life, activity and long-term investment to the site.

Most importantly, and particularly at a time of acute housing need across Scotland, this has been a genuinely collaborative process. Working closely with our client Urban Pulse Developments and Design Team colleagues and engaging in early-stage pre-application dialogue with Glasgow City Council, we are shaping an exciting residential proposition on the water in the West End of Glasgow, while contributing positively to the wider city.

We look forward to continuing this dialogue and sharing progress as the proposals evolve.

📐 JIM: IN THE HAUS 📐Away from the drawing board, our colleague Jim has been carving through the extraordinary alpine landscapes at Flaine ski resort, a modernist landmark designed by Marcel Breuer and commissioned in 1960. Embedded directly into the mountain, Flaine’s bold, sculptural forms respond to the severity of their surroundings, mirroring the slope, scale, and rawness of the alpine terrain. A powerful example of architecture not placed on a landscape, but formed from it.

At concept stage, a project is deliberately exploratory, embracing the excitement and risk of testing ideas.

Here we consider the challenge of a mixed-use high rise building at a pivotal city centre node. We are probing massing, frontage and programme to understand how considered density can form a gateway while activating both street and river. Options are being tested to reconnect river walkways, animate ground level uses and balance commercial vitality with contextual sensitivity, allowing the scheme to evolve through design-led iteration ongoing.

In-practice experience is a vital step in the educ

In-practice experience is a vital step in the education of young architects.

HAUS are again pleased to support the @stratharch Year 2 Introduction to Practice elective, hosting a student within the studio for five weeks. This year we welcome Lano Raza, who will progress her second-year project within a professional practice environment. Lano shared thoughts on her motivation to study architecture and in-practice experience:

"When I first moved abroad, one of the first things that really caught my attention was the architecture. Everything felt different, the way buildings looked, the way they were laid out, even how they made you feel moving through them. That’s when I started to realise just how much design shapes our everyday experiences and our well-being.

Over time, that curiosity slowly turned into a real passion. The more I noticed, the more I wanted to understand why things were designed the way they were, and that’s when I knew architecture was the right path for me. Now, I’m really keen to learn how a professional practice actually works day to day. University gives you a solid foundation, but I’m excited to see how those ideas translate into real projects, and to pick up insights that I can bring back into my own work, both now and in the future.

I’m also looking forward to meeting new people and building connections within architecture. I know this experience will be hugely motivating as I keep working toward my goal of becoming an architect."
We look forward to sharing knowledge, experience and insight as part of her academic journey.

Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!

Our Part 1 Alice embarked on a 4-week journey to Chimaltenango, in Guatemala where she took part in the Mesoamericano Mindfulness Space project run by @caukinstudio in partnership with @risewithmeso . The project entailed the construction of a timber framed pavilion over the course of 8 weeks where volunteers participated and experienced the construction process first hand.

Through problem solving, collaboration with local trades and teamwork Alice’s group were successful in finishing and furnishing the pavilion, producing a peaceful break-out therapy space, rooted in nature, for students at the local school.

What Alice had to say: "What an experience. Taking part in this project was incredible and truly rewarding. Working alongside local workforce and school staff, I learned specialist Guatemalan techniques in fabric dying, and the process of installing a traditional curved clay tile roof. Beyond this I had the opportunity to experience a country and its people from a truly unique perspective, being taken in by the local community and helping create something meaningful to them. This experience will not only influence my outlook and future development in architecture but also my appreciation and understanding of people and place - I would recommend this to anyone looking to gain practical experience and expand their horizons.”

Well done Alice, we are all very proud of your ambition and adventure!
