COMMERCIAL PROJECTS CLIENT Blackfriars Investment Ltd/ Royal London Asset Management SCALE 37,400 m² VALUE £70 million COMPLETION 2006 BREEAM Excellent

PALESTRA LONDON, UK COMMERCIAL: OFFICES + COMMERCIAL Palestra is ArchialNORR’s first contribution to the rapidly developing Bankside quarter, south of the Thames.

The opening of the Tate Modern and better communications – the Jubilee Line Extension and ArchialNORR’s forthcoming Thameslink 2000 station at Blackfriars (with links to Luton and Gatwick airports) – make this potentially one of the most dynamic cultural and commercial growth points of London.

The key idea of this bold speculative commercial scheme is the provision of big, straightforward and highly flexible floor plates, which can be used in open plan or cellular formats. The building takes the form of a raised box, with retail and restaurant space at ground level, where public routes penetrate the development.

The offices are arranged in two distinct planes, separated by an open level of ‘social space’.

CLIENT Forty Five Church Street Ltd SCALE 12,000 m²

45 CHURCH STREET BIRMINGHAM, UK COMMERCIAL: OFFICES + COMMERCIAL

VALUE £22 million

The 45 Church Street project involved the £22 million redevelopment of a city centre site to create a headquarters building, designed to provide the highest quality of contemporary office accommodation.

COMPLETION 2008

From the outset, the intention was to provide a piece of contemporary architecture: this created particular challenges in the approach to the town planning system. Recognising the need to secure the backing of the City Council in bringing forward the development, Archial liaised closely with them as the design evolved.

By actively and openly engaging interested parties throughout (and, crucially, well before the planning application was made) a direct dialogue was established, enabling stakeholders to contribute on key aspects of the design and, where appropriate, for their concerns to be addressed.

This approach was wholly new to Birmingham City Council and was extremely well received. In particular, the normally vociferous Conservation Group was very supportive, welcoming the opportunity to be engaged at an early stage. Similar support was garnered from the city’s Head of Urban Design.

A noteworthy benefit of the trust gained through this unconventional approach, was that the Archial team was able to secure a relaxation of the height restriction, whereby the Planning Authority would accept the same number of storeys rather than the same overall height. This allowed for a taller building with appropriate storey heights.

Without the relationship established with the Planning Authority, it is unlikely that the height restriction could have been overcome, thereby limiting the development potential of the site.

Further dialogue resulted in the provision of rooftop plant in addition to the storey height increase. Again, this was only possible due to the support created by the innovative approach to the Planning process.

CLIENT British Horse Society SCALE 1,965 m² VALUE £3.5 million COMPLETION 2010

BRITISH HORSE SOCIETY STONELEIGH, UK COMMERCIAL: OFFICES + COMMERCIAL ArchialNORR has designed the new headquarters for the British Horse Society; the prestigious landmark building and exemplary workspace sits in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside. It offers 1,965 m² of highly effective, light and airy workspace, promoting improved communication between staff.

The very latest sustainable technology has been incorporated, such as natural ventilation, thermal chimneys and heat pumps. Analysis of the building in use shows that energy consumption has been reduced by 50% compared to a typical office building.

Crucially, the building has been designed for longevity and the building’s flexibility ensures that it can adapt to future work practices of its occupant. The building represents flagship design and construction which sets a design benchmark and has acted as a catalyst for other developments within the site.

CLIENT The Buchanan Partnership SCALE 55,740 m² VALUE £85 million COMPLETION 1999

BUCHANAN GALLERIES GLASGOW, UK COMMERCIAL: RETAIL The Buchanan Galleries Shopping Centre, situated in the heart of Glasgow, is Scotland’s largest city centre shopping development. The client’s brief was to provide a quality City Centre shopping development and multi-storey car park, which encompassed three city blocks North to South.

The design responded with an elevational treatment with strong rhythm and modelling and an ‘internal street’ with simple, clean lines, providing an effective arcade-like backdrop to shops. The design makes reference to Glasgow’s architectural and engineering heritage but does not resort to pastiche.

The large expanses of planar glazing emphasise the building entrances and allow views of the building interior, encouraging a dialogue between internal and external spaces.

Internally, the ‘arcade’ approach and limited use of materials assist in creating a straightforward, cool interior.

Orientation and circulation are kept deliberately simple. The effect of strong, natural daylight is deliberately controlled by the restrained design of the roof light and the adjacent shaped planes, formed to reflect both natural and artificial lighting.

The south atrium in particular, was conceived of as an architectural sculpture, illuminated by bridge and escalator handrail lighting and high-level, fibre optic lighting, set into a feature curved stainless steel ceiling.

The overall effect is an inviting responsive building, even when closed.

The project provides 600,000 ft² of net, lettable, shopping space and 2,000 car parking spaces.

DEBENHAMS STORE REFURBISHMENT OXFORD STREET, LONDON, UK COMMERCIAL: RETAIL

VALUE £12 million

Occupying a prime position on one of the busiest shopping streets in the world. This is the first time in the property’s 41 year history that its exterior has been altered.

COMPLETION 2014

The department store has been revitalised using an innovative over-cladding system. Archial NORR worked with world renowned artist and sculptor Ned Kahn to create a captivating interactive façade in keeping with the site’s prominent location next to the upgraded Bond Street underground and Crossrail station.

The design showcases a new approach to public art by incorporating it within the fabric of the building itself.

The ‘Kinetic Façade’ is a first Ned Kahn concept for the UK. The building’s façade will appear to ripple fluidly as the wind activates thousands of suspended aluminium panels. As it responds to the ever-changing patterns of the wind, the façade will create a direct interface between the built and natural environments.

The store will continue trading throughout the works, which also include the instllation of two full height glass towers at each principle Oxford St corner, and the removal of the existing canopy to increase the height of the shop-front glazing. The effect will simultaneously enhance the shopping experience and the presence of the building in the streetscape.

PRINCES SQUARE GLASGOW, UK COMMERCIAL: RETAIL The award-winning Princes Square is a unique, five-storey shopping centre, created around a cobbled Victorian Square, dating from 1841. It is located in the historic centre of Glasgow and creates attractive public environments which complement the commercial efficiency and investment value of the shopping centre.

The original cellars of the buildings were excavated to provide an additional level of shopping areas and add to the impression of height, with the entire space being covered by a clear glass dome roof. The design sought to preserve and restore the original sandstone buildings and yet transform the space into a modern shopping centre that would provide an attractive meeting place: ‘a new Rialto’.

New galleries were carefully designed to afford generous movement and allow as many shops as possible on all levels to be seen from any one vantage point. The later addition of ‘The Glasshouse’ extended the centre into Springfield Court, providing a further 20,000 ft² of retail area and a new retail frontage to the east.

CLIENT Richardson Cordwell SCALE 20,000 m² VALUE £70 million COMPLETION 2005

THE ROPEWALK NUNEATON, UK COMMERCIAL: RETAIL This £70 million development for Richardson Cordwell, was designed by ArchialNORR to build on and enhance the traditional forms of the historic market town of Nuneaton. The high quality specification of materials and finishes was chosen to meet the standards expected by top retailers and the shoppers whom they serve.

In total, Ropewalk provides over 20,000 m² of retail space, designed to create a vigorous and thriving street scene. There are 35 new retail units, ranging in size from 50 m² to 400 m², as well as 525 parking spaces.

Retailers include BHS, Next, TK Maxx and HMV. The development was conceived to recreate the historic route that was used for the manufacture of ropes and more importantly formed a circulatory route for shoppers within the town. The aesthetic of the development was derived from the historic forms in the town, with shopfronts emulating the varied streetscape within a covered mall.

At the heart of the development, is a public square which forms the hub for vertical and horizontal movement and provided linkage to the car park.

The project created a new striking development that was highly visible from the ring road which was a key factor to secure British Home Stores as the anchor tenant.

CLIENT Gleneagles Hotel SCALE 2,050 m

GLENEAGLES SPA AUCHTERARDER COMMERCIAL: HOTELS

VALUE £5.5 million

The new state-of-the-art ‘destination spa’ at the Gleneagles Hotel is a contemporary environment, carefully designed to create a perfect place to unwind.

COMPLETION 2008

A palette of natural materials and feature lighting has been used throughout, with a spacious heat experience zone and vitality pool, complemented by adjacent relaxation lounges. The new reception area, changing rooms, and 20 treatment rooms, with a generous covered courtyard, complete the spa experience.

The Gleneagles Spa is the most recent in a series of projects designed by ArchialNORR, upgrading and expanding the hotel’s leisure, function and bedroom accommodation. The construction work required careful planning and programming to minimise disruption to the normal operation of the hotel, swimming pool and leisure club.

CLIENT Haymills SCALE 3,700 m² VALUE £8 million COMPLETION 2005

CRIPPS COURT MAGDALENE COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY, UK COMMERCIAL: HALLS OF RESIDENCE Cripps Court forms a self-contained annexe to the main Magdalene College site. It comprises en-suite rooms for up to 41 students, along with associated social and catering facilities, teaching spaces, IT facilities and a 140 seat auditorium.

Two existing houses were enhanced and integrated into the main frontage on Chesterton Road and this, combined with the use of carefully chosen, high quality materials (green oak roof trusses, external oak cladding, oak window frames and doors and reclaimed bricks from the site), has resulted in buildings which are both modern and in sympathy with their unique surroundings.

ArchialNORR was appointed from RIBA Stage D, with the D&B contractor developing the concept design by the College’s architect.

CLIENT BAE Systems / Highbridge Properties / Bowmer & Kirlkand SCALE 32,000 m² VALUE £35 million COMPLETION 2011

BAE BUILDING WASHINGTON, TYNE & WEAR, UK COMMERCIAL: INDUSTRIAL + ENERGY The new £35 million facility provides BAE Systems with a state-of-the-art production facility at the heart of the new Radial 64 Business and Industrial Park, in Sunderland, which is being developed by Highbridge Properties. ArchialNORR was involved in extensive feasibility studies of BAE’s existing facilities, alternative site appraisals, the creation of in-depth Employers’ Requirements and Tender Action & Contractor selection over a five year period.

This considerable manufacturing facility features a deliberately practical and pragmatic design to meet the requirements of large-scale production lines, together with associated office and welfare accommodation.

Featuring a modern forge and incorporating robotic machining cells and environment-friendly paint and treatment capabilities, the Wearside plant will carry out machining and treatments of large-calibre tank, mortar and artillery ammunition.

The design rationale for this facility has now been put forward for multiple BAE sites across the country. It incorporates many environmental considerations such as rainwater harvesting, sustainable materials and working initiatives that will assist in the longevity of the building and the business.

CLIENT Buckfast Abbey Trustees SCALE 1,500 m²

BUCKFAST ABBEY WINERY DORSET, UK COMMERCIAL: INDUSTRIAL + ENERGY

VALUE £4 million

It is nearly 1,000 years since Benedictine Monks founded Buckfast Abbey. Throughout its history, the Abbey has seen many fine buildings constructed which have been redeveloped and adapted as needs have changed.

COMPLETION 2010

The Abbey is located on the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park and its grounds are bisected by the River Dart. As well as being home to a community of Benedictine Monks, Buckfast Abbey is also famed for its beautiful church, its beekeeping, its conference centre, its stunning setting, which welcomes many visitors, and its tonic wine.

Buckfast Abbey commissioned ArchialNORR to design a new winery which had to: sit well in the beautiful parkland setting adjacent to the River Dart; live up to the Abbey’s fine architectural standards; be a modern production facility capable of meeting current hygiene standards; allow better vehicular access and protect and enhance the environment. The design team was further challenged by the selection of the site as, whilst it provided better vehicular access possibilities and allowed the building to be laid out to modern standards; it was on an almost inaccessible hillside, sloping down into the River Dart. The engineering solution required the creation of extensive retaining walls in order to create a plateau on which the building could stand.

Views of the historic Abbey buildings had to be respected, as did the landscape within the National Park.

The design team developed an engineered earth solution, banking up towards the building. As a result, the building appears to have been tucked into the natural landscape, with the curved gables, green roof and curving canopy roof helping to soften the impact of the development.

The project features many sustainable details including: locally sourced Gabion stone; external lighting, designed to avoid impact on the large local bat population; extensive wildlife conservation and the provision of natural ponds.

CLIENT Land Securities plc SCALE 13,800 m²

COMMERCE PARK CROYDON, UK COMMERCIAL: INDUSTRIAL + ENERGY Commerce Park is a new-build development for Land Securities plc, comprising industrial, warehousing and office accommodation, on a 6.63 acre brownfield site in Croydon.

The development has been designed with units which can be combined, or sub-divided, to accommodate larger or smaller space requirements.

Each unit benefits from exclusive car parking and service yard areas which can be individually secured. The scheme includes provision for a Green Travel Plan, with cycle shelters, showers and changing facilities.

COMPLETION 2010

BEDDINGTON RESOURCE RECOVERY & ENERGY FACILITY CROYDON, UK COMMERCIAL: INDUSTRIAL + ENERGY The proposal provides an architectural solution for a large-scale, industrial building within an environmentally and visually sensitive location, adjacent to the proposed Wandle Valley Country Park. The site sits directly adjacent to Beddington Industrial Area, forming a gateway building to the Beddington farmlands and the future country park. It is divided into two parts separated by a new access road.

The larger site, to the north, will house the integrated waste facility and associated service yard, car parking and ancillary buildings, whilst the smaller site, to the south, houses a ‘plastics to fuel‘ plant, physically linked to the waste facility by means of an underground conveyor belt. A green strip is retained to the south and west, with a substantial tree belt to connect to the landscape strip running to the south and minimise impact on the future park.

The proposal seeks to minimise impact through manipulation and enhancement of the landscaped setting.

The overall site is lowered by approximately two metres; the displaced earth is banked around the perimeter to form a protective bund, creating a visual barrier to the main road, entrance road and future park. This lowers the overall height of the main facility, hides the loading bay, vehicle parking and reduces associated traffic noise.

Making Life Better Through Intelligent Architecture

COMPLETION 2010

GLASGOW RECYCLING & RENEWABLE ENERGY FACILITY POLMADIE, GLASGOW, UK COMMERCIAL: INDUSTRIAL + ENERGY The primary design idea is based on the basic building elements of roof and wall which twist to reflect the special content and reinforce the sustainable nature of the plant. These elements comprise a green wall to the public frontage and a folded metal roof, which rises and falls to suit the functionality of the spaces below.

The flanking walls, which sit underneath the overhanging roof, are composed of gabion baskets filled with reclaimed red brick from the existing plant and augmented by a palette of carefully placed, recycled products such as plastics, glass, metals etc. offering both colour and vitality, whilst reinforcing the building’s function and raison d’être.

The gabion wall serves as a datum at ground level to a height of 10 metres. Above this, the proposal offers a mix of materials with untreated timber, pre-cast concrete panels and curtain walling of polycarbonate glazing.

The living, green wall, facing the street, picks up on this datum height with a mix of selfmaintained planting hung in baskets over a steel frame. The perforate nature of the material reveals elements of the concrete containers behind, whilst disguising the industrial kit and faceless frontage of the digestors with an environmentally friendly face.

MIDDLESBROUGH COLLEGE MIDDLESBROUGH, UK FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION The Middlehaven area of Middlesbrough was a typical run-down industrial area of the town. It had however a spectacular sea basin and an enviable position on the coast. The Council had aspirations for the site and together with Tees Valley Regeneration organised a masterplan competition which was to encourage use of the site for mixed occupation (education, employment and residential) the masterplan was also delivered by ArchialNORR. Middlesbrough College was to relocate to the site as a catalyst for further development and in 2006 Archial NORR won the design competition for the college.

The scheme design makes use of a new common 3 storey ‘street’ layout but differs in that this arrangment is not straight but connects the main network of routes surrounding the site and allows them to flow into the building so that the building embeds itself into the townscape. The street separates the larger spaces from the more standard class-bases and admin areas that face onto the dock basin.

The new college hosts a range of facilities for the public and the pupils of the school including a six court sports hall, providing facilities for Netball, Tennis and Basketball. More adventurous activities such as Kayaking and Canoeing are also available. The College also has playing fields and all of the associated changing facilities.

With 70 classrooms, six science laboratories, a theatre, gymnasium and fitness studio, hair and beauty salons, training kitchens, recording studios, a travel shop has a mix of academic and vocational training, including Foundation Studies, and is noted as a Centre of Vocational Excellence in Catering and Hospitality. It has an eclectic clientele of 14-19 year olds and beyond, who number approximately 5,000 in total in the new facility.

EAST SURREY COLLEGE REDHILL, UK FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION The £43 million development at East Surrey College in Redhill, involved the design of a new building and a major refurbishment of existing facilities on the College’s campus at Gatton Point North.

The building includes facilities for students studying: art design and media, hair and beauty, construction, engineering, public service, health and childcare, sport, business and supported learning. It also houses a sports hall, a gym, a two-storey learning resource centre and landscaped horticulture and summer gardens.

The design and specification of East Surrey College is a response to the needs of governors, managers, staff and students alike. The building is arranged around a three-storey, 800 m², internal winter garden, allowing natural light to fill the building which also connects to an external summer garden providing quality social space all year round.

A number of sustainable features are incorporated into the design, including for example, rainwater harvesting. Additionally, a CHP (combined heat and power) system was employed in the form of a biomass boiler. The College has been awarded a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating.

Other innovative features include the winter garden’s use of reflective panels to diffuse natural daylight into the internal space and solar heating and green roof systems employed on flat roofs, as well as a large roof garden.

The College is designed to provide separation between greatly varying functions – from engineering rooms to TV studios, from motor vehicle workshops to beauty therapy relaxation rooms. The new build element of the projects includes a link which allows seamless incorporation of the original building (called the RSADM) to the rest of the College. The RSADM itself was completely refurbished including reinstating floor voids to provide additional teaching space.

KINGSLAND PRIMARY SCHOOL PEEBLES, UK PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION The school accommodates more than 400 staff and pupils containing 14 classrooms and a nursery. With a timeless Scandinavian look and feel, Kingsland’s classrooms are all light and airy. Despite the fact that the structure is two storeys in places, 11 of its 15 classrooms have doors opening directly to the outside, emphasising the connection of the school to its semi-rural setting.

The front elevation of the building facing the road, is clad in dry stone walling, while the use of timber and white render lends a tactile, friendly quality to the building. As the site has a steep north to south fall running across it, the design strategy was to hide the bulk of the school’s two-storey games hall by embedding it into the hill.

The new school is well located on its prominent site, acting as a gateway into Peebles near Neidpath Castle on the edge of the town. Making the most of its location, the building has been designed to have a strong connection to the outdoors, with views out over Peebles to the South and East. This sensitive approach led to several awards including

Working closely with the Federation, ArchialNORR developed the brief, which grew considerably as the project progressed. Although security was a major consideration, the client wanted the new headquarters to have the character of a modern, sophisticated hotel and conference centre, rather than a fortified institutional building.

Part of the Federation’s function is to provide training and assistance to all members of the police force in England and Wales. They also host residential visits from other forces from all over the world, hence the need in the new building for residential accommodation and a fitness spa. Federation staff offices, a conference centre and a restaurant complete the programme.

The Police Federation was conscious of delivering value for money from the outset. Enhancing working conditions for staff was important, but so was affordability and improving the service offered to members.

Saving money on training and also making money formed part of the business case from the outset.

The building complex was conceived as three units, with offices and service spaces, guest accommodation and meeting spaces placed around a top-lit atrium. The atrium houses a restaurant and bar; the fitness spa and swimming pool are located in an undercroft beneath. The front wall, facing the street, is fully glazed to allow glimpses into the atrium past the various meeting rooms – expressed as floating objects, some of them partially projecting through the glass façade. The three units are further articulated by differing materials: timber for the hotel wing, metal panels for the offices and glass for the meeting suite / third side of the atrium.

The Vision for this new Alexandria Health and Care Centre is that it be a place that is welcoming, reassuring and revitalising for its patients and their carers; its staff; and visitors from the wider community. It is being designed so as to effectively and imaginatively meet the current and developing needs and expectations of the local population.

It will bring together under one roof a variety of clinical services including three GP practices, sexual health, speech therapy, health visitors, primary care mental health, integrated care, community nursing teams, nutrition, physiotherapy, podiatry, prescribing support, dental health as well as shared community facilities.

The project was procured through Frameworks Scotland where Archial NORR was Architect and Lead Consultants to Laing O’Rourke. Challenges of floor area and budget were managed through the design process and working with stakeholders to ensure that room utilisation has been maximised. The standardisation of room types lead to increased flexibility now and delivers future flexibility.

The project was developed using REVIT as the BIM platform continuing the commitment from Archial NORR to the development of BIM across all healthcare projects.

EASTERHOUSE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE GLASGOW, UK HEALTH: PRIMARY CARE This project was the refurbishment of an existing Health Centre and Mental Health Resource Centre and a new build extension to the existing building. A new link building between the existing Health Centre and the adjacent Mental Health Resource Centre was created.

The conceptual approach for the extension and remodelling was the creation of a rendered wall which unified the appearance of the centre into one building. Behind this wall a new link building provides additional accommodation and acts as a hub for redefined circulation routes.

The new build elements capture a series of courtyard garden spaces which provide amenity and social spaces for the building users and acts as orientation points within the facility.

This wall allowed essentially three buildings to read as one and it captured courtyard spaces which are now secure and an asset to users and staff.

BLIZARD BUILDING QUEEN MARY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, UK FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION The Blizard Building, for Queen Mary College, University of London, creates a environment for research staff and students that stimulates the exchange of information between departments, physically opening up the school and engendering new clarity in its workings.

Traditional research laboratory design tends to isolate the scientific research functions. The unique interaction between research departments and public facilities within the building has been achieved through the detailed consultation with representatives of the scientist user groups, who have actively engaged in the design process and project aspirations of cross-fertilisation and interaction.

Individual departments are placed within the structure to be identifiable to each other and from the building’s exterior. The forms, suspended within the glass pavilion, house seminar and teaching spaces; the central tenet of transparency for the college and its operations, and the hope that the forms within the structure will be shared with a broader community of local schools and other users, prompts the use of amorphous forms and bright colours, eliciting interest and enthusiasm from outside the building as well as within.

In doing so the project delivers great visual richness with a simple cost effective envelope offering educational lessons for similar building types.

CAMBRIDGE SCIENCE PARK CAMBRIDGE, UK PUBLIC BUILDINGS: SCIENCE + RESEARCH ARCHIAL NORR’s experience in this highly specialist field began with the Cambridge Science Park, which was established principally to meet Government requests for a greater interchange of ideas, people and facilities between universities and high-technology industry.

The original commission, with Trinity College Cambridge, involved the design team in all negotiations that led to the submission for Outline Planning Consent in 1970. The first Planning Permission was granted in 1971 and the park officially opened in 1975.

Since its inception, the site has expanded from its original 14 acres to over 130 acres. Archial was retained by Trinity College to fulfil a three part role in the continuous development of the 130 acre site.

Ionix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is Europe’s first biotechnology company, dedicated to the discovery of novel analgesic drugs. Its new headquarters building, at Cambridge Science Park, was designed by ARCHIAL NORR and consists of 3,500 m² of laboratory and office accommodation.

The building is endowed with a strong and individual identity through the use of a dramatic, curving roof which sweeps over the main entrance to form a canopy. The laboratory facility totals 2,230 m², on two floors, with a roof level plant loft above and incorporates a service corridor with a dedicated service/delivery area and lift.

The laboratories and write up area are partly formed around a central atrium leading to the office accommodation. These feature a complementary, tapering, barrel-vaulted roof and are wrapped around a service core.

The design concept promotes five distinct districts, which are created in Middle Quinton, each with its own character, design philosophy, scale and urban personality. A Town Centre, in the eastern part of the site, would be the main focus for retail uses, community facilities, leisure, an education campus and office/ workshop-based employment, also providing over 800 homes.

A Station Quarter is included, around a new transport hub, with a greater emphasis on larger scale employment and benefiting from proximity to the station. The Station Quarter connects to the Town Centre with a short, direct link for pedestrians, cyclists and buses.

The Lakeside is in the northern part of the site; here water is used creatively to provide a stunning residential environment, with its own local centre.

An Allotment Village sits in the central part of the site; a strong street pattern promotes solar orientation and is surrounded by a crescent of community allotments.

Finally, The Woodside, in the western part of the site, is a lower density, village environment with its own primary school and local centre. Clusters of family houses are set within a strong landscape framework of woodland and open space.

The average density of the development (excluding mixed-use areas) is 41 dwellings per hectare, allowing a wide mix of family housing, starter homes, sheltered housing and apartments. The density is comparable to elements of local towns such as Stratford-upon- Avon.

GRANDHOLM ABERDEEN, UK LIFESTYLE: MASTERPLANNING + RESIDENTIAL In 1859, Messrs J and J Crombie Ltd acquired Grandholm Mills, a former linen works beside the River Don in Aberdeen. In time, Grandholm Works grew to become Scotland’s largest and best equipped woollen mill and producer of the famous Crombie cloth. In the early Nineties, the Aberdeen mill was closed and production moved to the Borders.

Cala Homes purchased the 16.90ha site in 1998 and commenced the design of one of Scotland’s first 21st Century Urban Villages. This ultimately included 290 homes, consisting of detached, semi-detached, terraced and flatted homes. It also included a care home, office building, retail space, restaurants and a museum.

The oldest four-storey mill building was retained along with the mill lade and turbine hall and this formed the centre of the village. The mill building was converted to loft apartments with offices and restaurants at the ground floor and these opened on to a public space incorporating the lade which continued to flow with water from the River Don taken off upstream.

The plan radiated from this central space to connect with a crescented loop road encircling the centre. The area within the loop road contained the more dense parts of the development and included the mixed use portion consisting of flatted accommodation, retail areas and office space.

The areas beyond the loop road were less dense and consisted of terraced, semi-detached and detached homes.Townscape opportunities have been seized with the clever use of crescents, vistas and avenues and whilst the car has been respected, pedestrians and cyclists have been given priority.

The Development is now complete and most areas of accommodation are occupied. The village has been deemed a success and it is referred to as the model to follow for further villages in the North East of Scotland in their inception.

MIDDLEHAVEN MASTERPLAN MIDDLESBROUGH, UK MASTERPLANNING ArchialNORR was commissioned by Tees Valley Regeneration to produce a masterplan which would regenerate and reposition, not only the town of Middlesbrough, but also the whole Tees Valley area.

The brief was to build on all the previous work, towards creating a new vision for Greater Middlehaven that will inspire, excite and firmly establish the area as a waterfront destination of international significance.

The existing brave, beautiful Middlehaven landscape is inhabited by a series of massive objects: the Clock Tower, travelling cranes, the Riverside Stadium, the Transporter Bridge over the River Tees and big barns where North Sea oil rigs were constructed.

The ArchialNORR response was to create a landscape which, over the generation that a masterplan takes to implement, will be populated by buildings, including new offices, housing and a new location for Middlesbrough College, that fulfils people’s dreams of prosperity and a better life.

A series of new and extraordinary objects sit proudly in the landscape, in play with the existing elements.

What these buildings should eventually look like was not for the designers to say, or impose, and what has been represented here is merely a glance into the potential future of the site.

Underpinning all of this, are depths of thinking and creativity that will ensure that the Tees Valley fulfils its regeneration vision and dream. The initial phases of the masterplan are currently being implemented.

The design creates a landmark, stand-alone building that is intended to rejuvenate one of the few remaining major development sites in the City of London.

The site of the new building is in a strategic location in the City, with prime frontages on the River Thames to the south and Queen Victoria Street to the north. To the east and west, the site is bounded by neutral office developments. The site is well served by established transport links, principally the mainline rail and underground services at Blackfriars Station.

The 250 bed, six-storey building comprises four floors of hotel accommodation above ground, reception areas on the first floor/ground floor, a conference centre (with a double-height ballroom for up to 400 people) on level -1 and gym and spa facilities on level -2. In addition, the scheme includes bars, two restaurants and an elegant rooftop terrace overlooking the Thames.

The roof terracing and the triangulated skin of the building are set out to respond to the height limits defined

by St. Paul’s height restrictions.

The top floor opens onto a large roof terrace overlooking the river. Its landscaping is composed of surfaces of different materials, incorporating areas of bio-diverse, green landscaping, timber decking and roof terrace paving in a single sustainable integrated design.

Sustainability is central to the scheme. The new building will achieve higher standards of environmental quality and sustainability than most good practice, air-conditioned, prestige buildings in the City.

It is at one and the same time: a university faculty expanding beyond the campus and embedding itself within the surrounding community, within a working sports ground; and sports facility housing applied higher education – a ‘new paradigm in learning’.

Leeds Metropolitan University entered into a unique partnership with Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC) to not only enable the delivery of the Carnegie Pavilion, but also to provide mutual benefits for both organisations, enhancing higher education, sport and the all round sustainability of the development.

The Carnegie Pavilion accommodates the university’s School of Tourism, Hospitality and Events, where students will benefit from direct exposure to real life sporting events and hospitality. The development incorporates a full-scale teaching kitchen as well as lecture theatres and faculty offices. Students of digital journalism will also be based in the building, and will work hands on with the hi-tech facilities of the new media centre, designed to meet the latest standards for both TV and radio broadcasting. The dual-use 150 seat auditorium converts into a 100 seat press box for journalists, with uninterrupted views of the cricket action.

Co-occupation of the building (over 70% of the rooms have been designed for ‘dual-use’) dramatically reduces its running costs, as well as its carbon footprint, when compared with two separate buildings.

The Carnegie Pavilion has achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standard whilst complying with ECB cricketing requirements including the south facing glazed wall providing uninterrupted sightlines.

The site was extremely constricted, hemmed in on one side by a multi-storey car park which was askew both horizontally and vertically, and on another by the existing terminal.

The work was carried out while maintaining the existing T1 operations and included the provision of temporary escape measures from the terminal, while an existing first floor route was extended and a fire exit stair relocated.

CLIENT BAA VALUE £42 million COMPLETION 2001

EDINBURGH AIRPORT EDINBURGH, UK TRANSPORT: AVIATION ArchialNORR were appointed by Heery International to develop a major project at Edinburgh Airport and the concept was taken through scheme design, detail design and production information.

Total project included a new check in hall of 44 desks, a new domestic arrivals concourse with three reclaim carousels and a completely remodeled and extended first floor containing new retail and catering facilities.

Other features were centralised passenger search / security facilities, new Customs, Immigration and Special Branch facilities, a new international arrivals concourse with two reclaim carousels and new combined domestic / international lounges including associated airline executive lounges. It also included four new air jetties and 1,500 m² of commercial office space.

CLIENT Docklands Light Rail SCALE 4,112 m² COMPLETION 2007

STRATFORD DLR STATION LONDON, UK TRANSPORT: RAIL Archial NORR was commissioned by Docklands Light Railway Limited to design a completely new station, in a new location, to replace the existing DLR station at Stratford. This was in order to meet the client’s requirements for capacity enhancement, improved train frequencies and longer platforms with a corresponding new track alignment.

The DLR Station forms an integral part of a much wider Transport Interchange which was upgraded in preperation for the 2012 London Olympics.

The canopy to the tapering island platform, consisting of facetted, triangulated metal panels, with rooflights snaking over inclined oval columns, is a deliberate counterpoint to the sweeping curves of the existing Stratford Regional Station enclosure, into which it plugs.

Occupying the centre of the island platform, are translucent, coloured, glazed screens providing weather protection, as well as incorporating passenger seating, information boards, posters and signage.

Entry to the new DLR station from the street and interchange with the other railway and underground rail links will be maintained via the existing Stratford Regional Station. There is also passive provision for a potential future secondary entrance on Gibbins Road, below the DLR viaduct.

CLIENT Canary Wharf / Docklands Light Rail SCALE 4,140 m² VALUE £10 million COMPLETION 2003

HERON QUAYS DLR STATION LONDON, UK TRANSPORT: RAIL The ongoing development of Heron Quays, adjacent to Canary Wharf, necessitated the rebuilding of the small Docklands Light Rail station to integrate with the new structures. The complex brief dictated that the structure be wholly enclosed by the office development, but be completely self-supporting, with no structural connection to the buildings either side and above, or the railway bridge itself.

The solution was to create a cradle of steel supports, their position determined by the grid of basement columns beneath, which would hold the platforms and a curved shell below the tracks which acts as acoustic protection from excessive noise generated by train movements over the steel bridge.

The design also allows for free flows at ground level, where the space created acts as both station concourse and pedestrian thoroughfare. Escalators connect to both the car parking levels beneath and the platforms above.

The materials and colours were selected to emphasise the independence of the architectural elements from both the adjacent Canary Wharf office buildings and the ‘Air-Rights’ office tower bridging directly over the new station. The enclosure of the station meant that particular consideration had to be given to lighting the space; the solution was the design of ‘light beams’, which radiate light throughout the space, as well as providing a conduit for all the services including the public address system above the platforms.

CLIENT London Underground SCALE 415m × 32m VALUE £110 million COMPLETION 1998 AWARDS 2000 BCIA Award 2000 RIBA Civic and Community Architecture Award 1999 RIBA Stirling Prize, shortlist 1999 Concrete Society

NORTH GREENWICH UNDERGROUND STATION LONDON, UK TRANSPORT: RAIL North Greenwich Station has been acclaimed as perhaps the most striking of the twelve stations on London Underground’s £3.5 billion Jubilee Line Extension. As the gateway to the O2 Arena – and with its fully integrated bus station, the station has now become one of the most heavily used on the line. It is also one of the largest and forms an integrated transport interchange serving a wide area of south-east London, including the Millennium Village and other developments on the peninsula.

The context for the scheme was a completely cleared but polluted former gas works site, with no existing buildings: the specific site for the station was determined by the alignment of the line, which crosses the Thames twice linking Canary Wharf, North Greenwich Peninsula and Canning Town respectively. The scheme as built consisted of a cut-and-cover box, totally enclosed by a ‘lid’ – but with passive provision for a future ‘Air-Rights’ development.

As large as any mainline station, it explores older traditions in station design to create a building which mixes clarity of purpose with rich allusion and metaphor to create a point of arrival for a new quarter of London.

CLIENT Aberdeen Harbour Board SCALE 1,000 m² VALUE £3.7 million COMPLETION 2006

ABERDEEN MARINE OPERATIONS CENTRE ABERDEEN, UK TRANSPORT: MARINE The state-of-the-art Marine Operations Centre controls all vessel movements into and out of the busy Aberdeen Harbour. The building sits on a prominent site, within the Footdee Conservation Area, where the North Pier meets the main land mass. It succeeds the old Navigation Control Centre known locally as ‘The Roundhouse’, which was built in 1803 and was no longer fit for purpose.

The design concept involved the interaction of two interlocking forms; solid and light. The solid element – built from precast concrete with pure white aggregate as a metaphor of a lighthouse – contains the stair, lift and toilet core. The glazed element is the Operations Centre.

The ground floor area has been kept to a minimum to lighten the connection between the building and the surrounding landscape. The Centre is organised around a strict set of operational criteria in terms of security, visibility and interior comfort. A further key requirement was to consider environmental factors – a mixed mode ventilation/cooling system utilises displacement ventilation for the main floorplates, with the solid core used as a thermal mass and vertical ventilation stack.
