Wintech are proud to play a significant part in the development of King’s Road Park; a new residential-led mixed use scheme.
King’s Road Park, a landmark regeneration of the former Fulham gasworks site in South-West London. At the heart of this development is the restoration of the Grade II*-listed gasholder, constructed in 1829, which was once the largest in the world with a capacity of 226,000 cubic feet. The site also preserves other historic structures, including the former Engineering Office and Laboratory of the Imperial Gas Light and Coke Company, dating back to 1856 and 1927, as well as two War Memorials.

As façade consultants for Phase 4, we are contributing to the delivery of 356 new homes across two striking towers, reaching 129m and 90m in height. These towers will not only provide high-quality residential spaces but also incorporate commercial areas, residential amenities, and an enhanced public space.
Our role spans RIBA Stages 2 to 5, offering expert guidance through design development, technical detailing, and the Gateway 2 submission process. Nadha Dawood, Director at Wintech comments, “We are supporting the realisation of an ambitious architectural vision, featuring dynamic terracotta fins and cladding panels, and are excited to contribute to such a significant regeneration scheme”.

Olympia Canopy
At the heart of Olympia’s transformation sits one of the development’s most technically complex elements: a 22-metre spanning glazed canopy that connects the new public realm while responding sensitively to the site’s Grade II listed heritage.
Pillar Hall Olympia
Originally built in 1885 and formerly known as the Minor Hall, the 30,000 sq ft space is being transformed into a vibrant restaurant, bar, and music and events venue, while carefully retaining its historic architectural features. Working within a listed structure required a sensitive, detail-led approach to ensure that interventions enhanced performance without compromising heritage value.
West Hall Olympia
How do you build a major live music venue on top of an existing exhibition hall? At Olympia’s West Hall, the challenge was not simply to create a new performance space. A double-storey extension had to be integrated above the existing exhibition building, while the building envelope needed to respond to complex structural interfaces, demanding acoustic requirements and stringent environmental performance criteria. We provided both Façade Consultancy and Building Services (MEP) expertise to help address these challenges, supporting the project from Stage 4 through to completion.
