St Andrews Drive Phases 2 & 3 Makes RIAS Awards 2026 Shortlist

The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) has revealed the 14 projects shortlisted for the 2026 RIAS Awards, including a development delivered by CCG (Scotland) for Southside Housing Association.

The shortlist for the annual RIAS Awards is striking in its diversity in terms of scale, location and purpose.

The judges will visit a series of public projects, including a museum, library, and healthcare facility, and will see how several historic buildings, including an outdoor swimming pool, a 15th-century tower house and doocot, and a National Trust for Scotland property in the Hebrides, have been given new leases of life through skilled building conservation.

St Andrews Drive Phases 2 and 3 was designed by JM Architects. Located on the south side of Glasgow, the 120-home development replaced a six-storey concrete flatted block with a landscape-led masterplan and a series of three- and four-storey blocks, offering a mix of one- to three-bedroom apartments and three- and four-bedroom main-door maisonettes for social and mid-market rent.

The £23m project was constructed by CCG for Southside Housing Association and was completed in 2023.
