Quayside Lofts – Newcastle Upon Tyne

Architect: Conran & Partners Brickwork
Brickwork Contractor: Marshall Errock
Brick: Ibstock Brick, Aldridge Smooth Red

Quayside Lofts is a stylish development of riverside apartments that was the clear winner in its category. The judges enjoyed the way that this building exploited its steeply sloping site on the banks of the Tyne. Brick contributes to the strong clear statement that sits easily with its neighbours, which includes two Grade One listed Victorian warehouses.
