Ferry Village

Urban Design for Ferry Village as part of Renfrew Riverside regeneration project. Young and Gault were appointed by Park Lane in 2004 to design Phase 1A, comprising mainly residential flatted units, family townhouses and a small element of mixed and retail use for this 6 hectares site on the Clyde riverside. Parts of the site were sold to Sovereign House Developments and Miller Homes. Young and Gault continued to work as Architect for both developers, completing parts of Phase 1 in early 2008. Following the success of the first Phase, we were approached by the Renfrewshire Council to contribute to the North Renfrewshire Flood Prevention Scheme, which includes the design of public areas. We are currently working on the urban design of the Phases 2 & 3 for Clydeport. These are primarily family housing.

The urban design of Ferry Village is a modern interpretation of classical urban areas that have an established sense of place. The continuation of the urban street patterns with landscaped public areas has a strong emphasis on the pedestrian and community integration, which is a theme carried throughout the phases.
