A development of 101 new homes in the Tannahill area of Ferguslie Park, Paisley, won two accolades at the 2024 Scottish Home Awards.
The project was named both Large Affordable Housing Development and Housing Regeneration Project of the Year.
The development was created by Glasgow-based housebuilder AS Homes Scotland in collaboration with Renfrewshire Council.
The project delivered 101 affordable homes with diverse configurations, including one, two, three, and four-bedroom cottage flats, houses and bungalows. AS Homes worked alongside Renfrewshire Council to carry out community focused consultations to understand the bespoke housing needs of the local community.
The homes incorporate design cues and materials reflecting the character of the surrounding area. After development was completed, Renfrewshire Council saw a 125% increase in interest for housing in the area.
Residents were directly involved with the design and personalising of their new homes.
Paul Kelly, MD of AS Homes, said, “Ferguslie Park is truly an exemplary social housing development that highlights the importance of involving the community in the development and design of their areas. This project is a testament to what can be achieved when developers and local authorities collaborate effectively.
“We are so proud that this life-changing development has been recognised as the leading regeneration project in Scotland, with this double award highlighting all the hard work from the team and local community, who worked together to enhance Ferguslie Park.”
Also nominated was AS Home’s Castlemilk development, delivered in partnership with Craigdale Housing Association. The £5.5 million project delivered 36 homes providing a mix of one and two-bedroom flats with wheelchair-accessible homes.
