h+m were appointed to prepare design proposals for the hard and soft landscape for a major housing development between the Queens Dock, a former shipbuilding dock, and the centre of Clydebank. A layout was developed which established a series of tenement blocks around the periphery of the site, responding to the wider scale and pattern of development, and which contained terraces of lower scale housing, orientated to the south and west to provide sunny garden spaces.
The layout allowed for key vistas through the site to the visually dominant Titan Crane, a legacy of the former shipyard and proposed as a visitor attraction. These visual axes assisted in structuring vehicle and pedestrian routes through the development, and public realm landscaping was tailored to framing and emphasising these views. Along the waterfront, a sequence of public realm spaces, divided by low walls echoing coastal groynes, provided terraces for cafes and restaurants and sheltered seating spaces, and a major public open space linked the waterfront back to the town centre.
