Structural Design for £160m Chinatown Regeneration, Glasgow

19.05.26
Wentworth supported the proposed £160m Chinatown regeneration scheme in Glasgow, providing structural design for three residential buildings ranging from 9 to 21 storeys.

The design focused on simple, efficient, and buildable solutions, using in-situ reinforced concrete frames with thin flat slabs supported on blade columns. This approach ensured structural clarity while optimising construction efficiency.

The constrained urban site presented significant challenges, requiring careful coordination with existing infrastructure. Wentworth managed key interfaces with Transport Scotland and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), including the adjacent M8 Woodside Viaducts and existing subway tunnels.

The project has now been submitted for planning, with Wentworth continuing to support its progression towards delivery.
