You want to know about Irvine New Town? Of course you do.
Initially IDC adhered to a strict monochrome colour palette. Used to its greatest effect in Pennyburn, today this aesthetic survives at its best in The Paddock, a private development of around 35 detached houses, one of which is seen here. Later developments introduced pops of colour. #IrvineNewTown

Hill Street was made one of a number of 'conservation streets' by Irvine Development Corporation. Here it is in 2024. Earlier plans, proposed by the Burgh Council, included demolishing half of Hill Street, along with other historic thoroughfares, to create a 'ring road'.

The initial plan for #IrvineNewTown, prepared by Hugh Wilson (of Cumbernauld fame) was never realised. Wilson proposed capping the Annick Water to the east of Irvine with a concrete deck studded with buildings. The area remains rural today.

Fencedyke, in the northern part of Bourtreehill, encapsulates IDC's housing ethos -- layouts that respond to topography, incorporation of existing mature trees / historic buildings, and block colour finishes.
