We delivered a challenging new build project on the banks of the River Clyde for the wonderful Parklea Branching Out charity.
The new hub completed in August 2024, provides a public space supporting their objectives, overlooking the Clyde Estuary and the adjacent historic timber drying ponds. It hosts a café, a community meeting space and other volunteer and training facilities. The building comprises a column and canopy (dendriform) grid which creates a sculptural soffit internally and covered space externally. Glazed curtain walling and brickwork enclose the structure acknowledging the garden pavilions on site.
Critically, the challenge was the site being within a flood risk area, and the building floor level needed to be raised above peak tidal level, based on a predicted 1 in 200-year flood event plus climate change. Alongside this, flood resilient construction measures have been employed to mitigate excessive damage or waste in the event of flooding.
Parklea was recently, July 2025, awarded the Public Building Category Gold award at the Scottish Design Awards.
