Client: City Homes Ltd
Project: Virginia Street, Glasgow
Architect: ZM Architecture
Project Cost: £2.0m
Complete: 2004
Description: This project was a Victorian listed tenement building which had to have all the external elevations retained. The building was in such a poor condition that the façade retention design, both in the temporary condition and final state was very challenging. The interior was sequentially demolished and replaced with a new steel frame after securing the elevations with external shoring. We were required to be in constant attendance as the project developed on site to enable unstable sections of the building to be strengthened or removed safely.
