Hayburn Lane,
Glasgow
Located on a redundant and run-down strip of land in the West End of Glasgow, Hayburn Lane attempts to re-define its previously allocated role as a service corridor and home to an array of wild and haphazard planting. Taking full advantage of the entirety of the site the scheme seeks to compose a buffer between the neighbouring railway line and the sandstone tenements on Hayburn Crescent by creating an enclave of alternative city living in the form of ten 3-storey houses, each orchestrated to take advantage of its minimal footprint whilst the whole takes informed cues from its immediate context resulting in a delicate and sensitive rhythm along the length of the revitalised Hayburn Lane. Punctuated within the gable composition lies a new greenspace, providing opportunities for a park or urban allotments, elaborating on the line of new trees skirting the railway.
