About Glenside, Rothienorman

building for tomorrow.. a mixed use development


  • Inverurie 10 miles, Insch 10 miles, Aberdeen 27 miles,
  • 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom apartments, terraced, semi-detached and detached homes.

Set in the heart of Rothienorman, Glenside has been sensitively designed to compliment the existing village. Glenside is a place of variety and dynamism, respecting its rural setting, contributing to its economic health and redefining the notion of development planning. There are individual buildings of varying design and scale and a network of well connected streets creating irregular groupings, squares, lanes and courtyards. Glenside will be an aesthetic as well as a social experience.

Glenside is designed to restore the balance of traditional village life and the core principals include:

  • Create a sense of place.
  • Focus on the pedestrian (but design for the car).
  • Well connected streets.
  • Places for people e.g. Village squares.
  • Mixed use residential and commercial properties.
  • Integrated residential i.e. private ownership and affordable for rent.
  • Buildings of interest and variety i.e. no more standard house types.
  • Design to reflect local building styles.
  • Create a “Design Guidance” which sets the guidelines for residents and users.
