Hoskins Architects have been appointed by Argyll & Bute Council to prepare masterplans for the development of two of the largest and most significant sites within the planned Victorian town of Helensburgh. The first of these is for the prominent pierhead site that reaches out into the Clyde Estuary from the town’s waterfront location. The second is for the regeneration of the 14 acre former Hermitage Academy site to the east of the town centre left vacant after the construction of the new Academy.

The various options for the integration of new sports, retail and residential facilities on both of these sites are to be presented at an exhibition within the town on 13 & 14 January 2012 to allow the local community to discuss, comment and give feedback before the masterplans are developed in more detail.
