Work on the first phase of a £6m residential scheme for Govan Housing Association has been completed by Anderson Bell Christie.

Situated on the site of a former school, the homes at Dunsmuir Street are situated at the centre of a triangle formed by Ibrox Stadium, Govan town centre and the Science Centre.

The development provides 65 homes, including a mixture of tenement flats, town houses and cottage flats. A subsequent phase is planned to develop a further 74 flats, as well as a mix of properties for sale and rent. Low cost housing is also planned for the build.


In a statement, Anderson Bell Christie said: "The site is important as it links disparate groups of development to patch the urban fabric and bind these dwellings into a community. The scheme has been designed to reinforce scale, massing, building lines and materiality.

"Clear definitions have been set out between public and private space, and considerable care was taken to ensure that ownership was visible and tangible. The site does not create new roads, however all existing footpaths were retained and renewed where required."

The scheme has been designed to attain an Ecohomes Very Good rating and form part of ongoing efforts to regenerate Govan.
