The Testbed

The modular houses developed are a fully realisable and bold vision for beautiful housing in Port Glasgow that secures the inter-generational, sustainable future of the existing estate's housing need. The innovative reuse of the identified gap sites has been made possible through the modular exploration of the scheme including the utilisation of the WikiHouse construction system. These houses can be built by local residents including those with no skill or training and the surrounding trades can all be sourced from within the local area enabling these buildings to reinforce the local economy and improve standards of living. All of these aspects feed into the establishment of a Sustainable Tenure model that will allow for the wider regeneration of the estate's stock. We hope that the success of this scheme will be an exemplar of development of new social housing across Europe and beyond providing security for local residents and River Clyde Housing for the future.
