Butterbiggins Road

Situated at the junction of Cathcart Road and Butterbiggins Road, this 35-apartment development was designed to meet the needs of a local Housing Association for one and two bedroom amenity housing, specifically for older or disabled people. Large family wheelchair adapted flats were provided with their own private garden on the ground floor.

Lift access has been provided to all floors. A private, secure garden amenity space, including communal drying facilities, raised planting beds and seating for the use of all residents was created at 5th floor level. A fabric first approach to addressing both CO emissions and fuel costs was adopted which included airtight detailing, high levels of insulation and triple glazed windows.

Careful consideration was given to product specification and detailing to meet the conditions of the local environment and reduce ongoing maintenance. The development achieved a Very Good rating under the BREEAM Ecohomes Scheme
