Once again led by Mast Architects, and delivered by Ashleigh (Scotland) Ltd in partnership with hub South West Scotland, the project will deliver a mix of house types including general needs, wheelchair accessible and amenity housing.

In the design statement, the architects wrote: “Rather than conform to either of the traditional roof forms adopted within the context, the proposed development adopts a new roof form alongside the traditional duo-pitch to create aesthetic interest.

“Elevationally, the pitched roof is accentuated on each plot in a ‘saw-tooth’ pattern, creating a contemporary elevation composition that distinguishes each plot, and which advocates a visually interesting block form.”

The development continues North Ayrshire Council’s plans to build 116 council homes, for which it signed a £19 million agreement with partners hub South West Scotland in February.

The new housing developments include:

• 50 homes at the former Towerlands Primary School site in Irvine
• 34 homes at Brathwic Terrace, Brodick, on Arran
• 18 homes at St Beya Gardens in Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae, and
• 14 homes at the Springvale Streetscene depot site in Saltcoats.
