Fairfield Shipyard building Govan : New Housing
Fairfield Shipyard building - design by ADF for developer Clydeport
6 Mar 2009 Fairfield Shipyard GovanADF Architects : News ReleasePLANNING GREEN LIGHT FOR HISTORIC GOVAN SHIPYARD BUILDING REDEVELOPMENT  Detailed planning permission has been recommended for approval by Glasgow City Council for the redevelopment of the former Fairfield Shipyard building in Govan. ADF has been appointed by developer Clydeport as the architect for the new-build residential element of the scheme, providing 60 modern apartments on Govan Road and Elder Street. Originally designed by renowned Glasgow architects, Honeyman and Keppie in 1890, the Fairfield building has been described as the finest shipbuilding office in Britain. The building, which is within the Central Govan Conservation Area, is Grade A listed. The exciting proposals will retain many aspects of the original fabric of the building, allowing public access to heritage elements such as the wood-panelled ornate interiors and a fully-restored map-room that is to become a new exhibition and interpretation space. Set on both sides of the listed Fairfield building, the ADF-designed housing element picks up on the 'towers' of the Fairfield building and the traditional corners of the surrounding tenements while presenting a contrasting contemporary response to this urban context.
