Anderson Bell + Christie and McTaggart Construction have prepared plans for 48 homes for social rent on behalf of Hawthorn Housing Co-operative at a former ironworks on Ashfield Street, north Glasgow.

Forming and ‘urban block‘ the development is accessed by a shared surface road, car parking and private gardens the scheme will zone particual needs husing and one-bedroom apartments to the north.

In a statement the architect wrote: “By creating a flatted block and concentrating the single bedroom dwellings to the North edge of the site, the opportunity to provide a harder edge to the busiest edge of the site was realised.

“By arranging the units in semi-detached and short terraces it was also possible to ensure that all unit’s rear gardens were accessible by paths of an appropriate gradient despite the challenging topography.“
