The former home of Saga Records, The Gramophone Works is a new landmark commercial scheme comprising refurbished, extended and new-build contemporary office spaces.
Ideally suited to small and medium creative enterprises, the building features large, open plan working areas as well as a canal-side café, communal facilities, numerous cycle storage spaces and green areas at ground and roof levels. The scheme will be constructed using the latest in timber technology to create a sustainable and healthy phased development.
“The ambition was to utilise all of the existing reinforced concrete frame which included extraordinary ‘mushroom head’ columns. A new lightweight CLT frame allowed 3 additional storeys of wide and tall flexible space.
The added benefit of the internal timber walls and ceilings being self-finished creates a ‘zeitgeist space’ and reduced the time, cost and weight of the building.”
