Broomhill Gardens and Community Hub has won a national award for its design.

The facility in Mearns Street in Greenock was designed by Inch Architecture and was named the winner of the Scottish Design Award in the ‘Health Building or Project’ category at an event held in Glasgow.

Winners Inch Architects L-R: Nicole Callaghan, Alisdair Clements and Lesley Palmer

The building in Mearns Street was initially conceived by Inverclyde Association for Mental Health as a training facility, growing area and offices for their social enterprise In-Work Ltd which provides training opportunities in horticulture and landscaping.

The scope expanded during discussions with Inverclyde Council to include a community centre, meeting rooms and café.

The project was funded by the Big Lottery, the council and a Scottish Regeneration Capital Grant.

It is owned and managed by the charity with unrestricted access to the community.

A spokesperson for the In-Work said:

“Many congratulations to all the design team led by Inch Architecture from everyone at In-Work.”

The Scottish Design Awards honours top architecture firms and design agencies for their contribution to the country’s historic and contemporary design culture.
