The scheme's undulating roof parallels the Lock's stepped form.

The residential House has its own distinct entrance to allow for changing use and flexibilty.

The north facade's large, pivoting doorways can be opened to expand the assembly area, allowing for maximum flexibility of space. The doors can also be closed to retain heat and maintain the boundary between internal and external. Thus, a changing facade condition ephasises movement and the scheme's flexibility.

The varying roof heights and floor levels mimic the water's movement through Maryhill Locks.

The undulating roof canopy angles towards a central point in the garden space, where rainwater is harvested and used within the scheme. A transitional growing space between hub and house closely ties the scheme to the process of growing produce.

A private roof garden accessible to House residents creates a relaxing social space, with views across the locks. This emphasises parallels between the scheme and the locks, further expressing a connection to landscape.

The kitchen is closely connected to the production space, with views directly into the lower production and ground floor sorting spaces. This emphasises the linear journey of produce from seed to mouth, and connects the visitors directly to the process.

This multipurpose space acts as the main communal area for the hub, with strong connections to the external landscape through the pivoting doorways.
