Speirs Wharf

Highlight • Structure

Speirs Wharf is a Glasgow city landmark on the Forth and Clyde Canal. The buildings here were built in 1851 as grain mills, storage & the offices of the Forth & Clyde Navigation Co. They were converted into apartments and retail space in 1989.
Today it's a trendy place with a nice cafe and leisure facilities. The canal is a good place to run, and this is a good stop if your running from the city centre or back into town.

The current refurbishment targets the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard for retrofit. This means the 314 homes reduce space heating by up to 80%. Residents will benefit from reduced heating and hot water bills. Proposals also include new communal entrances providing dual-sided approaches as well as new lifts. In addition, external balconies will be enclosed to enable residents to use them all year round.

Rockvilla, the new headquarters for the National Theatre of Scotland, brings together various departments and facilities that were previously scattered across several different locations. The meshing of previously disparate elements is a key tenet of the design.

Forth & Clyde Smart Canal

Highlight • River

Construction of Europe’s first ever ‘smart canal’ scheme, which uses the 250-year-old Forth & Clyde Canal and 21st century technology to mitigate flood risk as well as enable massive regeneration, is now underway in Glasgow.

The pioneering new digital surface water drainage system unlocks 110 hectares across the north of the city for investment, regeneration and development, paving the way for more than 3000 new homes.

Emmaus Community Building

Highlight • Rest Area

This project was designed with the local community and is the first Scottish building for the organisation which assists homeless people. There are 24 bedsits and supporting facilities including a workshop, cafe and kitchen. The 1960s church hall on the site was renovated to create the workshop and waste wood fuels a biomass boiler.

Just one mile from the hustle and bustle of the city centre lies the green space of Glasgow’s only inner-city Local Nature Reserve – The Claypits.

Originally the home of a clay quarry used when the Forth & Clyde Canal was first built in the late 1700s, it was also the site of a foundry, glassworks and boat-building yard. These industries are long gone but the historic canal buildings, the oldest in Scotland, still dot the banks.
