“This project addresses the long-standing spatial and social invisibility of Glasgow’s homeless population. While traditional shelters provide a place to sleep, they often fail to meet the deeper needs for dignity, belonging, and social reintegration, leaving psychological, emotional, and cultural needs unmet. It proposes an interior-design-led prototype of modular micro-dwellings embedded within the city’s grey spaces, exploring how such shelters can offer dignity, security, and a sense of belonging without reinforcing marginalisation; how inclusive spatial strategies can accommodate pet companionship while ensuring hygiene, privacy, and mental well-being; and how placing modular facilities in urban voids can positively reshape public perceptions of homelessness.“
