Park View Govan

 This project was the product of an innovative partnership between Govan Housing Association and Cruden Estates Ltd to deliver Govan’s largest new-build housing project which forms part of an ongoing regeneration effort in collaboration with CGAP. 

The project has transformed an exposed gap site to provide 102 new dwellings for rent, shared ownership and sale.

The new terrace on Golspie Street and the infill at Shaw Street complete the perimeter of this dense mixed use urban block. This encloses a new courtyard, where safe and supervised play and informal meeting is encouraged on South orientated paths and greened spaces.

In a re-interpretation of the traditional tenement typology the terrace blocks place one flat to either side of a common landing, full height curtain wall glazing at the street and courtyard edges then allow visibility and sunlight to penetrate through the building, and barrier free access from both sides.

The colour of the pods was influenced by the colours of tiles in Glasgow tenements,the pod is a dining area. The design was by do architects.

The statue of Light & Life (95 Morrison Street)

 

95 Morrison Street, originally known as Co-operative House, was opened on 2 January 1897 as the headquarters of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society. The building was designed by architects Bruce & Hay, with much of the exterior sculptural works by James Alexander Ewing. The original statue by Ewing, was known as 'Light and Life' however, the statue fell into disrepair and was removed.

On 16 June 2016, a replacement statue of Light and Life, created by sculptor Kenny Mackay and closely resembling the original, was reinstated at the top of the 150ft tall tower during the restoration of the building’s roof.The building has since been repurposed into apartments.
