Shortlist : Large Residential Project

 

A residential development in the south side of Glasgow for Westpoint Homes that respects its traditional neighbours while injecting urban living into the available space.

The proposal for Greenholme Street in Cathcart includes three buildings, ranging from 4 to 5 storeys, arranged around a series of safe, secluded green spaces.

Aware of the increasing density of the urban environment, the plans do more than simply add additional homes. Greenholme Street delivers a variety of apartment styles, some with private gardens and the placement of the buildings create shared green spaces that are protected, physically and visually from the neighbouring road. These shared external spaces encourage outdoor activity and socialising, promoting the development of a neighbourhood community.
