With care and respect, The West Works will rescue and reimagine Partick Methodist Church - a much-loved local landmark dating back to 1881 - as a vibrant arts and events space for a new generation.

Once a cornerstone of the community for over 150 years, the church had fallen into disrepair and had been granted a demolition warrant. For us, restoration is about more than preservation - it's about reimagining spaces with history and identity, breathing new life into them for future generations while improving the urban landscape.

This change of use - from Class 10 (institutional) to Class 11 (assembly and leisure) - is essential to secure the long-term future of the building and deliver meaningful public value. The West Works is a bold yet sensitive development that aligns with Glasgow's City Development Plan and the Strategic Development Frameworks for Patrick. At its heart is the transformation of a derelict church into a contemporary space that honours heritage through sustainable, high-quality architecture.

This project demonstrates how thoughtful restoration can enrich the cultural landscape, support the local economy, and meet the city's growing need for inclusive, creative spaces. It's a rare opportunity to preserve a cherished site and give it a lasting purpose.
