Kelvindale Residential Development

Dalsholm Road, Glasgow

The Kelvindale Residential Development seeks to utilise an existing, vacant, brownfield site in the heart of Glasgow’s West End. The proposed development will provide 110 affordable new dwellings; a mixture of terraced housing and flatted units; offering two to four bedrooms, as well as dwellings catering for specific accessibility needs.  The various constraints of the site provide an opportunity to create a prominent and modern neighbourhood, and the provision of modern, efficient accommodation seeks to address the role architecture has to play in the global climate crisis. 

The proposals have been designed to present a combination of 2-4 storey elements with simple proportions and openings to all faces of the development. All apartments are dual aspect and include large balcony terraces from the main living space, taking advantage of the east, south and west orientation. There exist excellent vistas looking in all directions from the site, particularly open southern aspect. The readily adaptable flat types are designed to meet the requirements and criteria of The Glasgow Standards and Housing for Varying Needs.

 Convery Prenty Shields Architects have enjoyed working alongside West of Scotland Housing Association, Maryhill Housing Association, Apsis Construction and Fairhurst to obtain positive determination.
