Building Conservation Winner Walwick Hall Hotel, Hexham Doonan Architects Ltd Client: The Harrison Partnership Developer/Contractor: DP Builders Ltd Architect:

The project involved the conversion of Walwick Hall, a Grade II listed building, from a private dwelling into a boutique country hotel with new build swimming pool. The site is located in Northumberland along Hadrians Wall, within a World Heritage site, surrounded by a scheduled monument and neighbouring a National Park. This presented various challenges for the project team. Prior to its restoration Walwick Hall was in a very poor condition suffering from damp and had been empty for a number of years.

Tasteful interior design lifts the entire hall and this attention to detail continues into the external areas, which are impressive without feeling ostentatious. A new spa sits well and compliments the experience of this deserving winner in a highly contested category.

RICS Awards 2017 – The Winners

This award is presented to the project which has been judged overall as an excellent example of best practice by professionals working in both the built and natural environments.

Project of the Year Winner The Word, South Shields FaulknerBrowns Architects Surveyor: Rex Procter & Partners Owner/client: South Tyneside Council Developer/Contractor: Muse Developments Architect:

The Word is the first phase and catalyst for the urban renewal of South Shields town centre. An increase in town centre footfall has helped to promote outside investment and in particular the regeneration of the riverside at South Shields. In its first two months, The Word has attracted over 88,000 visitors, many from outside of the region. Over 50,000 people have visited the centre’s opening exhibition which celebrates the works of Sir Ridley Scott. Almost 10,000 books have been loaned and library memberships have increased by nearly 400% compared to the same period in the

26

town’s previous library facility. Significantly, the number of teenage library users has increased by 750%, a reflection of the widespread appeal of the new facilities.

The Word occupies a strategic gateway location between South Shields ferry terminal and the town centre presenting an opportunity to re-establish a sense of place in the cultural heart of the town.

The building’s appearance is inspired by the fanning out of the pages of a book and the material selection celebrates the sites distinctive industrial heritage which includes salt and coal mining; glass making; and ship building. The clay terracotta has been selected to respond to the rich stone hues of The Old Town Hall and St Hilda’s Church creating an architectural expression which, whilst uncompromisingly modern, blends with its sensitive context.

The design and implementation of The Word was developed through a comprehensive schedule of consultations with community groups and local stakeholders. One of the benefits of a rigorous approach to community engagement is a design that responses directly to the community it serves. The reaction from the local public has been overwhelming – from comments and observations it is clear that The Word is a community asset for which they take great pride.

The Word is part of a wider cultural offer within South Shields and as a result has developed a close working relationship with related organisations. Actors from the neighbouring Customs House have regularly been seen performing at The Word.

Since the Word has opened, plans have

also been revealed for a new £200million development on brownfield land 400m to the south of The Word to create a highquality office accommodation, residential and mixed-use development. These plans outline the confidence that Muse, South Tyneside Council and its development partners have in the ability of The Word to help reverse the fortunes of South Shields.

The Word is a library for the 21st century, celebrating the dynamic relationship between people, books, traditional media and interactive technologies, in a truly inspiring environment.

The building’s character is defined by a delicate balance between building physics and artistic expression. This approach ensures a building with ‘wow’ factor and a solution which is adaptable and environmentally responsible.

The judges said The Word is an exemplar of thoughtful, elegant and functionally effective design. From the very beginning the design team have embraced community consultation and the benefits are evident. The design, specification and purpose have met to create a world class facility which is enjoyed by people of all ages from throughout the local community and all over the World. It is a truly exceptional blend of form, structure and function that is already proving to be a catalyst for further investment and regeneration. The Word is a gem.
