Description:
Fairfield Farm is a Healthy Living Community project situated in
Elder Park, Linthouse, Glasgow.
The project creates a new entrance into the park via the hard
landscaped farmyard designed to accommodate markets and events. the
building is being developed to provide education, therapy,
decorative and food production gardens, cafe, meeting rooms, Open
Museum space, small workshops for community/artisan use, teaching
kitchen and secluded roof garden for further garden education and
therapy.
The existing derelict B-listed Farmhouse (c. 1850) is to be
consolidated, restored and altered internally to become the focus
of the project, and the new development will be a fusion
of old and new.
A new ebonised timber clad outhouse forms the fourth side of the
new farmyard, and will be a place of industry and creativity,
containing the workshops, teaching kitchen and roof garden.
Further funding options being investigated by project
partners.
