The project included the refurbishment design and specification of a 17 storey flatted block in the Southside of Glasgow. Occupant engagement was key to the success of this project and at the project outset several designs were presented to the client and taken forward for consultation with the occupants to ensure they were involved with and informed of the process.


Several retrofit measures were installed including:

  • Replacement of existing cladding with thermally efficient external wall insulation with a render finish.
  • Replacement double-glazed windows, with a premium placed on the fitting process to combat high winds and drafts which had previously been a concern for occupants.
  • Replacement insulated roof with enhanced safety system and feature lighting.

The retrofit works carried out to this building improve the energy performance and ensure the building’s longevity. The project won the INCA High-Rise Refurbishment Award in 2022 highlighting the success of the project.
