Hawkhead
Originally known as the Paisley Infectious Diseases Hospital, and designed by architect Thomas Tait, Hawkhead Hospital will be transformed into a unique and highly desirable residential estate. Holmes prepared the masterplan for the redevelopment of the site for client, Kier Homes, who are acting in partnership with the Burrell Company. Refurbishment of the existing buildings by Elder and Cannon will also take place with Holmes responsible for providing new build houses and apartments which will compliment the original 1930s designs.
The design of the new development incorporates a strong sustainability agenda with the objective of creating a vibrant, mixed community incorporating a high percentage of flats, terraced houses and generous landscaped public spaces. Understanding the significance of the historic site as well as its relationship to Paisley and Glasgow have been central considerations.
