Burns Drive, Johnstone
Project: 30 new build
homes built on a brown field site on the edge of Johnstone in Renfrewshire
24 of these are affordable social houses
to rent. These 3 bedroom semi-detached houses have front and rear gardens
and sit on the natural contours of the landscape taking advantage of
the panoramic views to the west and north.
Adjoining these 24 houses is a cluster
of 6 flats specifically designed for people with complex physical and
mental health needs. The client group for the cluster is a group
of people who, due to their challenging behaviour, have previously
been housed in a long stay hospital environment. Their complex
needs make it difficult for them to live in currently available mainstream
or special needs housing.
The flats have enhanced acoustic performance and space standards, are
fully wheelchair accessible and are designed to be a home within which
a high level of care can be unobtrusively delivered.
