This project was the construction of a 28-apartment aparthotel utilising the existing building structure that was once the Tyne Tees studio on City Road in Newcastle, with the addition of a timber frame structure to form two extra floors.

Works included:

• High spec finishes to glazing, balconies, kitchens, bathrooms and external building fabrics
• Extremely restricted site as the building was constructed between two busy roads, an existing residential development and a church
• Steel support structure required within the existing building to accommodate the extra weight from the additional two floors
• Demolition of existing pre-cast concrete staircase
• New steel staircase introduced to access the top two floors
