Thenue Housing Association have lodged proposals to build 27 flats at Landressy Place, Bridgeton, as part of an ongoing regeneration drive for the east end district.

The three-storey development has been designed by John Gilbert Architects to Housing Varying Needs standards which includes a 10% allowance for wheelchair accommodation as well as measures to foster social interaction.

Attention will also be paid to people living with dementia with closes decorated to create a floor to floor identity within the building including high level covered walkways to the north and east.

In a statement the architects wrote: “The single common close provides extra security while also creating a focal point slightly offset from the corner. The circulation space will be serviced by one staircase and lift set off the main street and will benefit from a full height curtain wall screen system on all floors.”

Formed from a timber structural frame clad in brick and laminated panels with concrete and steel walkways the project aims to present a ‘robust’ elevations to the street.

All that good work down at Bridgeton, and then this.

Aha, this is just what Bridgeton needs - back to front housing with deck access to the street. That'll be nice. There's lots of really good examples of that typology working well in Glasgow. No, wait!

Flatpack dross -- phoned in by someone who has better things to do.

Really poor with no presence or personality.
Looks like a middle income Bar-L proposal -- but without the walls to hide its sins.

What is going on just now? Miserable ideas from the 70s getting rehashed all over Scotland on a weekly basis.
