Residential Development, Dundee

A scheme for the Alexander Street site, not only met all the criteria set out in the design brief but was also fully compliant with both Housing for Varying Needs and the gold standard of Secure by Design.

Several of the houses were designed to full wheelchair standards and one of the blocks of flats was designed in conjunction with Dundee City Health and Social Care Partnership for a specific special needs group.

All the new houses and flats were designed to the "Greener Standard" to ensure that higher grant subsides were allocated from the Scottish Government.

81 Houses and Flats of varying types and sizes located at a site on Alexander Street/Ann Street which had previously been occupied by multi storey blocks, forming part of the wider Hilltown Regeneration Area, which Dundee City Council had designated a few years previously to revitalise and help to rebuild community spirit within this area of the city.
