Appointed as structural and civil engineers, this project consists of new build units on 5 phases and demolition of existing multi storey blocks. 

​

Each of the 5 phases features a different aesthetic created by various Project Architects, replacing eight and nine storey concrete framed blocks which were demolished to make way for this strategic regeneration of the area.  

​

The structures for all phases utilise a hybrid construction of four storeys timber frame construction and two storeys of traditional masonry construction, supported on concrete reinforced ground beams and piled foundation solution.

​

The key challenges to the various phases of the project included;

• Significant level changes across the site and the requirement to minimise retaining structures.

• Detail negotiation with Roads and Scottish Water with respect to adoptable elements.

• Flood Routing consideration relating to a major trunk main, potential fracture.
