107 Niddrie Road

107 Niddrie Road is a pre-1919 red sandstone tenement in Govanhill in the south side of Glasgow owned by Southside Housing Association. Like most traditional Scottish tenements, it consists of eight flats and a communal close and back court. Each flat includes one bedroom, a living room / kitchen, bathroom, hallway and store.

This project was designed to EnerPHit standard (Passivhaus for retrofit) and will have high levels of insulation and airtightness combined with new heating and ventilation systems. These energy efficient measures drastically reduce energy bills for the tenants while providing them with the healthiest possible internal environment.
