Stereo No. 1 Newcastle | BIG | Bjarke Ingels Group
Newcastle upon Tyne / United Kingdom
5
Stereo No. 1 Newcastle is located on a unique site bordered on all sides by major roadways. It lies just off the Quayside in a prominent position between the Tyne and Millennium Bridges and just across from Foster’s Sage Gateshead Arts Centre. The building’s massing is born from the site which follows the existing curve of the road and wraps to create a slender 13m ribbon-like office space that reflects the dynamic quality of its surroundings. The rooftop acts as a fifth facade and winds down to create a string of linear garden terraces that are connected by a stair at the western edge serving as a secondary means of fire egress and a linear park.
