Plans unveiled for eye-catching Newcastle office scheme

Designs for a new office development on Newcastle city centre’s Quayside have been unveiled.

The 12-storey No. 1 Quayside will offer 9,900m² of office space to a previously disused site – potentially creating 1,000 jobs.

The development, which has been designed by Danish-based Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), will include a living green roof with a rooftop terrace.

According to BIG the proposals are born from the unique conditions of Newcastle’s architectural elements, the sloping hills and the curved frames of the bridges over the Tyne.

The building is born from the unique qualities of the site as it follows the hairpin curve of the road and becomes a ribbon-like building climbing up the hillside while creating a cascade of roof terraces overlooking the Tyne.

The project is the architect’s first scheme outside of London and is being developed by local landowner Rob Cameron.
