A new landmark gateway to the Gorbals
North gate is the latest in a series of PagePark designed residential buildings within the Gorbals. The design transforms vacant brownfield land with a new city landmark and completes the Gorbals masterplan. It contains 31 units, comprising of 1 and 2 bed flats for 100% social rent. Designed to suit the needs of primarily older residents, the internal layouts are open plan and exceed the ‘Glasgow Standard’ of housing. Design features include large internal storage, wide corridors to assist movement for residents, step free access throughout and level access showers.
Conceived as a series of towers, the building splays out to maximise the potential compact site area. This ensures all flats are either duel or triple aspect, providing great natural light internally and considerable views across the city. To promote healthy independent living, the residents have access to a communal social facility via a living-well service. This allows tenants to remain socially interconnected. Spaces include a games room, communal kitchen, lounge area, landscaped garden area and patio.
