A residential development of over 600 dwellings, mostly apartments, set on a site overlooking the River Tyne in Gateshead. The site was occupied by Greensfield Railway Works for the previous two centuries, and was offered for development. This was a time of significant regeneration to the quaysides on both sides of the river and the site was seen as an important part of that regenerative process on the Gateshead side. It is a prominent linear plateau set above the southern escarpment of the Tyne Gorge, and plainly visible from the Newcastle side of the river. The council’s brief was for a mixed-use development, with a residential element forming the major part. Bellway Homes, with P+HS as their architects, won preferred bidder status. Thereafter, working on a sketch masterplan P+HS Architects were engaged to take the project through to completion.
