Redpath completes the transformation of ‘Iconic’ Bridgeton building into modern offices

We recently completed the conversion and restoration of a previous Salvation Army building in Bridgeton to create New Olympia House - a modern office space. 

External works included, new slate roof and leadwork with velux roof lights, new windows and doors, and the installation of a large sculptural metal tower called the Beacon, a nod to the adjacent Bridgeton Umbrella.

The internal spaces have been approached with a defurbishment strategy, exposing brickwork, roof trusses, and existing timber linings, whilst drastically improving the energy performance of the building with new insulation throughout, air source heat pump technology, and underfloor heating.

Susan Cardwell, our marketing & business development manager, commented “It has been a real privilege to be part of the transformation of the building with Clyde Gateway. As a true regeneration project, we have not only been able to breathe new life into New Olympia House, creating a bright and sustainable office space, we have also had the opportunity to support local young people through training and made lasting relationships with the fantastic team at Green Trees Nursery. There are few projects where the impact on the local community has been felt more keenly."
