City Wharf, located immediately to the west Kingston Bridge and bounded by the River Clyde to the south, marks a key entrance gateway to the City of Glasgow. The development will act as a catalyst for the wider REGENERATION of the Clyde Waterfront area and will make an important contribution to the provision of SUSTAINABLE new homes for Glasgow.
The project is one of a number of schemes the practice has designed for a major Build-to-rent developer and will provide some 600 apartments, 16,000 sq. ft. of ground floor retail and commercial space, 190 covered podium parking spaces and various ancillary areas within an area in significant need of urban renewal.
The form, character and materiality of the project respond to the urban waterfront location, with a series of stepped, linear blocks framing and protecting landscaped amenity spaces and culminating in a landmark tower towards the riverfront in counterpoint to the adjacent Kingston Bridge.
Public realm improvements include a new linear park running along the eastern edge of the site that will create a landscaped buffer to the motorway, enhance the ecological value of this urban brownfield site and link the existing residential developments to the north of the site back to the riverfront.
