Project
Design.
Danehurst submitted a planning application to provide accommodation for 152 students in September 2024. The site situated on Otago Lane, off Otago Street is in close proximity to University of Glasgow, less than 5 minutes’ walk. A mix of both studio and cluster accommodation is proposed. The building is surrounded by generous gardens and view over the River Kelvin which the site looks on. The building will be targeting BREEAM excellent and WiredScore Gold as a minimum.
The redevelopment of this vacant site will give the opportunity to offer improvements to the landscaping, amenity for not just the occupants of the PBSA development but also the existing residents and business owners of Otago Lane and the wider community as a whole.
The blocks range in scale from six storeys height in the south of the site to seven storeys to the north. All blocks are designed to orientate living spaces towards the river in north, east and southerly directions.
There are a large range of facilities and services located within close walking distance of the site, including food retail, other retail, leisure, food and drink, professional services and non- residential institutions.
A key objective has been to improve the accessible public realm and re-engage with the River Kelvin. There is also the opportunity to consolidate and improve the existing green corridor along the River Kelvin enhancing biodiversity.
