Keepmoat and Elder & Cannon Architects have hosted a second-stage consultation outlining their planned changes to the Northbridge masterplan, a housing-led regeneration of brownfield land at Sighthill, north of Glasgow city centre.

The £250m planned community comprises homes, shops and public spaces connected by tree-lined roads and a 'garden bridge' offering onward connection to George Square, with further tweaks being made to the next tranche of 754 homes.

Following feedback from an initial consultation two additional apartment blocks will now front the main boulevard as part of an overall increase in density across the site.

In a consultation statement, the applicant wrote: "The density has increased from the planning permission in principle and the aim is to maintain this."

Dedicated growing spaces for residents are included in the revised public realm for the latest phase, again overseen by LDA Design.

As ever - refined and elegant. Hope it sees the light of day.

Hi UR - Can't see them on that link. This is the previous iteration, the design before the June consultation.

The landing page is just a sales pitch but if you click on the five links these should take you to the second stage boards - plenty more images on there.

I think that for all of the talk of elegance, it more boring than elegant.

Elder and Cannon should read humanise.
