One Strawberry Lane

Delivering new homes and houses for affordable rent, long-term integrated housing, health, and social care, Home Group is one of the biggest housing associations in the United Kingdom. To help with the development of their new six-storey headquarters building in Newcastle city centre, our Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) team has been involved since the early conceptual design stage.

Working collaboratively with Ryder Architecture, the new office headquarters building is adjacent to Newcastle¡¯s iconic Strawberry Pub. Located close to St James¡¯ Park stadium, the spot is a favourite with Newcastle United fans on matchdays. We took both the Cat A construction and Cat B fit-out to RIBA Stage 3, delivering MEP design and BREEAM services. Our scope has included the design of a hybrid variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air-conditioning system with air source heat pumps, and an overall design philosophy that enabled Home Group to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating and an EPC A rating.

Our team was subsequently retained by Home Group to monitor the project on their behalf during construction and fit-out. One Strawberry Lane was completed in late 2022 and won Building Project of the Year at the 2023 Constructing Excellence in the North East Awards.
