Urban Housing Project 2025

This project focuses on re-occupying a neglected part of Tradeston by creating a new neighbourhood that feels both familiar and different. The aim was to retain some of the area’s existing character while introducing a mix of housing types, public spaces, and commercial uses that reflect the needs of a varied community. Rather than starting from scratch, the design builds on what’s already there, keeping key buildings like the fire station tower and some tenements, while reworking the rest of the site to improve circulation, daylight, and public access. A mix of mews, flats, and live/work spaces supports different ways of living, and shared spaces like courtyards and rooftop terraces help foster a sense of community. The project balances the messy, industrial history of the site with a more human-scaled approach to living in the city.
