Safety in level. In our masterplan we decided to vertically develop the site.

This lended itself readily to families. By creating elevated play spaces it allows for children to be out doors but with less of the risks of traffic and lack of super vision.

Early Parti Diagram.

The idea of a permeable wall of residential accommodation was a key concept that developed from the beginning of the project because of its situation between two active spaces in the Merchant city; Trongate and Merchant square. A link between these had to be respected but privacy still respected.

Maisonette.

Visual links are maintained between social spaces of the flats sharing a communal space. All of which can be covered with curtains when privacy is required.

More private areas of the house are kept deeper in the plan.

This is to encourage a community among the families in the block as well as dynamic play spaces and versatile layouts.

Maisonette 2nd Floor

Maximising useable space with sliding doors opening the bedrooms onto the landing.

Landing is generously sized to allow useful space for functions.

A bed recess space adds to the sleeping capacity of the flat.

This area can be seperated with screens to provide temporary accommodation.

The Juliet balcony into the breakout space maintains the connection of social spaces inside and outside the home. This can be covered with a curtain for privacy.

Core Principles MAXIMISING NATURAL LIGHT. - Extensive southern exporsure to reduce artificial

lighting, create “sun buffer zones� and utilise solar gains.

- ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

The site is surrounded by the buzzing Merchant city. We decided to create a permeable barrier around the residential area to create a semi-private threshold and preserve the established civic space adjacent to Merchant square.

Create a more self sufficient economic community with greater immunity to economic depression; can resist commecial retraction to Buchanan street.

- CULTURAL INTEGRATION

Try to combat the effects of gentrification with a variety of housing types and prices but offering spaces for communal intergation between inhabitant types and privacy to encourage new communities to flourish.

- THREE DIMENSIONAL PLANNING

Vertical planes of pedestrian infrastructure to indicate levels of privacy and allow for a semmi-private courtyard.

We decided to create an avenue connecting the Merchant city to Trongate creating a link between the two areas.
