架构师提供的文本描述。Govan Cross地区的重建工作得益于最近更新的环境，改善了地面景观，修复了纪念喷泉，并重新启用了Govan Ferry。比尔德房屋协会在皮尔斯街10号的项目取代了一座没有吸引力的单层废弃的GPO大楼。新的单位尊重毗邻的前基督教青年会大楼的檐线，重建和完成街道的正面，并为以前被忽视的历史珍珠巷带来新的生机。

Text description provided by the architects. Contribution to Regeneration of the Area Govan Cross has benefitted from recent regeneration with environmental improvements to the floorscape, restoration of the Memorial Fountain, and the reintroduction of the Govan Ferry. Bield Housing Association’s project at 10 Pearce Street replaces an unattractive single storey derelict GPO building. The new flats respect the eaves line of the adjacent listed former YMCA building, rebuild and complete the street frontages and bring new life back into the formerly neglected historic Pearce Lane.

 Masterplan

当地居民的生活现有的和新的居民的生活都得到了改善。该区对长者单位的需求极为殷切，新居民对他们的新家感到高兴，邻近的Govan房屋协会的现有居民亦已将其后庭干涸区进行改善。一位比尔德居民从克莱德河的客厅向“格伦利亚”(Glenlea)和交通博物馆(TransportMuseum)望去，“我从没想过会有这么好的公寓”，她刚从周日的午餐会回来-和其他住在她大楼顶层阳光空间里的居民在一起！能源效率和可持续性克服开窗问题边界窗户已设置一米，以提供大面积的南面玻璃，以提供被动太阳能热的公共休息区。锅炉房的热量损失有助于公共空间的热量。外围护层与混凝土地板和砌块墙的热质量非常高绝缘，以保持被动式太阳能热增益。

Lives of Local Residents The lives of both existing and new residents have been improved. There was an overwhelming need for flats for the elderly in the area and the new residents are delighted with their new homes.The existing residents of neighbouring Govan Housing Association have also had their back court drying area upgraded. Said one Bield resident looking out from her living room over the Clyde to the ‘Glenlea’ and the Transport Museum, “I never thought I would ever have a flat as good as this” having just returned from a Sunday lunch get-together with other residents in the sun space on the top floor of her building! Energy Efficiency and Sustainability To overcome fenestration problems the boundary windows have been set back one metre to provide large areas of south-facing glass to give passive solar heat to the communal sitting areas. Heat loss from the boiler house contributes to the heat of the communal space. The external envelop is very highly insulated with thermal mass in concrete floors and block walls to retain passive solar heat gain.

窗户、门、屏风、墙面、隔板等的细木工都是从可持续的来源中指定的。再生骨料用于填充材料和混凝土砌块墙。在连接到克莱德河的涵洞燃烧之前，指定低能量灯，并过滤雨水排水。由于靠近公共交通、商店、教堂、银行、酒吧、邮局等，随着新的能力通过这些设施，开发将达到BREEAM卓越的地位。设计，设计特色及规格：沿皮尔斯街及皮尔斯里的单面阔面窄深度单位，可向北俯瞰克莱德街，并可在街上上下观看戈凡老教区教堂的景致。因此，通往该等单位的通道是沿南面的界线。倾斜的走廊意味着居民可随时把自己的视线对准外面的景致，并向外看一看。对于那些难以在封闭的内部走廊中找到自己的方向的老年人来说，这是一个重要的特征。

Joinery for windows, doors, screens, facings, partitions etc are all specified from sustainable sources. Recycled aggregate is used for fill material and concrete block walls. Low energy lights are specified throughout and storm drainage filtered prior to connection to culverted burn into the Clyde. With close proximity to public transport, shops, churches, banks, pub, Post Office etc, and with the new ability crossings to these facilities, the development will achieve BREEAM excellent status. Design, features and specification The design groups single aspect wide frontage narrow depth flats along Pearce Street and Pearce Lane giving the flats a panoramic view North to the Clyde, and views up and down the street with glimpses of Govan Old Parish Church.Consequently, access to the flats is along the southern boundary. Asingle sided corridor means residents can always orientate themselves with the views to the outside, an important feature for the elderly who may find difficulty in orientating themselves in enclosed internal corridors.

前面和后面的空心砖墩表达了结构，也容纳了垂直服务。七层单位的开窗分为2：3：2，与毗邻的19世纪前基督教青年会的开窗和更大的楼面高度有关。结构网格是用类似于后院的普通砖和Govan的工业遗产的砖表示的。朴素的立方体砖体积和几何简单性提供了一个微妙的对立面，以折衷的混合风格的周围19世纪的建筑。直到边界，公寓占据了整个场地的足迹。因此，北面和西面的高地是唯一可供居住的地方。这种安排的优点是所有房间都能在克莱德河上看到令人叹为观止的景色。公共区域、楼梯、电梯和循环空间位于南立面，窗户已从边界向后凹陷，以便阳光照射到休息区。中央锅炉厂上方有一个朝南的Loggia。该等单位可安全进入皮尔斯街，并设有24小时保安及紧急掩护。隐私是通过设置玻璃后给深凹窗，这一特点，也表达了结构框架。一楼有三套轮椅可居住的公寓。上6层每层有2个流动的3人单位和2个流动的2人单位。

The hollow brick piers at the front and rear express the structure and also accommodate vertical services. The fenestration of the seven storey flats is grouped 2:3:2 to relate to the fenestration and greater floor to floor height of the adjacent 19th century former YMCA. The structural grid is expressed using a brick similar to the common brick of the back courts and Govan’s industrial heritage. The plain cubic brick volume and geometric simplicity provides a subtle counterpoint to the eclectic mix of styles of the surrounding 19th century architecture. The apartments occupy the whole site footprint up to the boundary. Consequently the North and West elevations, which front the street, are the only elevations where habitable rooms could be located. The advantage of this arrangement is all rooms are afforded stunning views across the Clyde. The common areas, stairs, lifts and circulation spaces are on the South elevation where windows have been recessed back from the boundary to allow sunlight into sitting areas. A South facing loggia is positioned over the central boiler plant. The flats have secure access from Pearce Street and have 24 hour security and emergency cover. Privacy is provided by setting the glazing back giving deep recess windows, a feature which also expresses the structural frame. The ground floor has three wheelchair liveable flats. The upper 6 floors have 2 ambulant 3-person flats and 2 ambulant 2-person flats per floor.
