Our Ethos
Archial NORR’s focus on client requirements
encompasses the consideration of a set of
5 parameters which, together combine to create a
unique strategic blueprint for every project.
We call this ‘Intelligent Architecture’.
Creative Integrity
At the heart of all successful architecture.
Our approach ensures that each project delivers at
aesthetic, practical levels and technical levels.
Economic Performance
Fundamental to every project’s success.
Creating high quality environments that are commercially robust
‘Added value’ by ‘Intelligent Architcture’ is central to Archial NORR.
Environmental Responsibility
All buildings have a short and longer term impact on the
environment. Archial NORR pioneer low-cost, commercially viable,
sustainable designs.
Personal Experience
A project ultimately succeeds or fails at an individual level:
buildings must work on a human scale and create
a positive experience for every user.
Social Contribution
Archial NORR believes buildings can, and should, have a
positive impact on the quality of life of those who use them,
directly or indirectly.

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’.

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.
VALUE
£3.5 million
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.
COMPLETION
2010
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.
Stoneleigh, UK
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.

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.

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.

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.

COMPLETION
2005
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.
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.

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.

Buckfast Abbey Trustees
SCALE
1,500 m²
Buckfast Abbey Winery
Dorset, UK
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.

The completed project will provide 79,000 m² of state of the art regional distribution facility for Tesco Plc
under one roof.
The development has been designed with units which can be combined, or sub-divided, to accommodate
larger or smaller space requirements.
The site is well located for the regional highway network, providing excellent access to the network of Tesco
stores within the region.
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
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.
COMPLETION

Glasgow Recycling & Renewable Energy Facility
Polmadie, Glasgow, UK
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.

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.

The building features several natural materials, all of which are very durable, and all have low embodied
energy in comparison to traditional alternatives, such as steel and aluminium. These materials form the
structural frame, the majority of external cladding and all external doors and windows. Recycled newspaper
was used to insulate the external walls and at least 25% of the aggregates used in the concrete floor slab
were obtained from a local recycled source.
South Bristol Skills Academy
City of Bristol College, UK
Primary and Secondary Education
ArchialNORR designed this iconic, dynamic, yet highly functional building for City of Bristol College which
forms a key landmark at the entrance to the new Hengrove Park development. The primary aim of the design
for this building was to provide a dramatic learning environment both internally and externally, whilst keeping
all the facilities together under one simple roof form.
The new building accommodates facilities for up to 2,000 students featuring vocational training
workshops,tailored for curriculum areas covering motor vehicles, hairdressing and beauty therapy, retail,
construction trades, health and catering. General classrooms, ICT suites, staff working environments and the
college administration facilities are also provided each linked by the drama of the entrance atrium and the
central winter garden.
All of this is contained within an attractive overall form with an excellent floor area to wall ratio delivering

East Surrey College
Redhill, UK
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

Kingsland Primary School
Peebles, UK
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

Pollok Civic Realm
Glasgow, UK
Public Buildings: Government
Built between the newly expanded Pollok Health Centre and the Pollok Leisure Centre, Pollok Civic Realm
is Glasgow’s first facility with truly integrated health, social and leisure facilities. Forming part of the overall
Pollok Town Centre regeneration, it houses a café, a library, a museum, child-care facilities and other specialist
social and healthcare-related services.
A colonnade provides a vista, interlinking the Pollok community with the new transport interchange and
Silverburn Shopping Centre, so that people are drawn through the building and encouraged to make use of
their civic amenities.
The underlying design philosophy was to create a civic hub, housing all the essential aspects of community
life under one roof. The building seeks to create an all-inclusive space, with all of its constituent componants
spiralling from the central reception area.
The completed project created an environment for public interaction that has been encouraged through the
focal hub.

Police Federation HQ
Leatherhead, UK
Public Buildings: Government
The Police Federation made the decision to relocate from its headquarters in an old mansion near London, to
a new location at nearby Leatherhead. 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 Dental Centre has a sustainable timber frame and takes its water supply from an adjacent borehole
which also supplies the heat pump used to heat and cool the building. Green transport initiatives have been

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.

Queen Mary, University of London, UK
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.

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.
All this allows companies to move in and start business immediately.
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

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

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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.

time to see what is on offer.
The vision is that the Life Centre serves as a strong visual landmark, drawing all members of the community
together to experience a wide range of sporting and leisure activities.
The second, folded, ‘mat’ represents the new sports centre itself, laying down a timber deck that ‘wraps
up’ all the accommodation: a four court sports hall, a climbing wall, a dance studio, changing rooms, and a
viewing gallery with kitchenette, all within a finely crafted timber box. The roof is skewed to allow a generous
overhang for weather protection on the gables and over the decked threshold area, encouraging spectators to
stand outside of the building.
The third ‘mat’ represents the playing surface of the all-weather hockey pitch, including anglepoise flood

competition pool, a learner pool, a health suite and a fitness gym and dance studio, located on the first floor.
VALUE
Confidential
The Riverside Ice Rink is one of a number of ice pads designed by ArchialNORR.
VALUE
£4.2 million
The design features curtain wall glazing to the river frontage, combined with timber decking to take
advantage of the setting.
COMPLETION
2004
The company was appointed as Architect and Lead Consultant for the remodelling and internal refurbishment
of the ice rink. The strategic brief was to modernise the centre, improve the customers’ experience and to
maximise income potential.
COMPLETION
2003
The design acknowledges the benefit of an established avenue of mature trees along the south boundary,
which improves the amenity and climate control.
The project included the complete remodelling of the core areas and new robust, but vibrant, finishes to the
reception, skate hire, café, changing rooms and toilets.
The Centre completes the regeneration of a former industrial area, with a new cycle/pedestrian link between
the riverside walk and Carrow Road. The project was funded by Norwich City Council, East of England
Development Agency and Sport England.
The main plant equipment, serving the building and ice pad, was totally replaced and a new proprietary ice
rink was laid over the existing slab.
The Riverside Swimming Centre achieved an ‘Excellent’ rating from Sport England on its monitoring evaluation
carried out a year after practical completion.
A new ‘Low Emissivity’ ceiling was installed over the domed ice rink structure, to improve the environmental
conditions and minimise external heat gain.
ArchialNORR set a tight project programme to suit the operator’s requirements and limit the shut down
period.

Birmingham Airport T1
Birmingham, UK
Transport: Aviation
ArchialNORR was awarded a Design and Build Contract in September 2000 to refurbish and expand the
check-in facilities at Birmingham Airport’s main T1 terminal. Work was required to be completed in time for
the 2001 Easter holiday traffic.
The project involved the construction of an extension to the terminal, providing 12 additional check-in desks
while also extending the existing baggage handling and flight information systems. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
