Pine Place

New Gorbals Housing Association (NGHA) owns the former Gorbals Health Centre site on Pine Place, purchased from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. NGHA appointed Reiach and Hall Architects (R&H) through their Consultants Framework to design a residential redevelopment—building on a successful collaboration from the nearby Coliseum housing project.

The project is primarily funded by the Scottish Government, NGHA, and local grants aligned with standards like The Glasgow Standard. As a registered charity accountable to the community, NGHA prioritises cost control while addressing the urgent need for social housing. This challenge has encouraged innovation and a shared ambition with R&H to deliver high-quality homes that contribute meaningfully to the Gorbals’ regeneration.

NGHA’s brief called for predominantly family-sized 2/3 storey terraced houses, with a smaller flatted block including shared amenity space. All units must meet Housing for Varying Needs (Part 1) and The Glasgow Standard, achieving Building Regulation Section 7 Gold for aspect 1 and Silver for aspects 2–8.
