Mast seek planning for 37 Pollok homes

November 13 2015

Rosehill Housing Co-operative and Mast Architects have submitted plans for 37 detached and terraced homes on brownfield land at Househillwood Crescent, Pollok.

Set in an area of interwar housing on a plot once occupied by a school the homes will be situated along a landscaped strip with a pedestrian through route connecting to nearby open space.

In their design statement the architects observed: “We are proposing a single base material of brick to bring uniformity to the house types with feature panels of brick detailing to living room windows and entrance ways. This panelling will be a combination of corbelled brick work and precast string courses. We believe providing strong, simple robust details will provide a modern house aesthetic.”

A site start has been scheduled for April 2016.

New homes will continue the datum line of existing properties

Devoid of all (any) aspiration

The rainwater pipe at the top left looks pretty nasty. The stepped back roof is just weird -all it does it draw attention to a double height blank wall on a main facade. This has no cohesion at all. Also, whats the obsession with austere brick buildings at the moment? Architecture is starting to become nothing more than a cut and paste series of fads.
