Concept: The Rail Yards
Following the recent momentum gathering around Founders Place, tucked within Newcastle’s historic Stephenson Quarter, we are pleased to share our concept for a future phase — “The Rail Yards” — a modest but carefully calibrated piece of the wider urban regeneration masterplan, delivered through a joint venture between Igloo and Newcastle City Council.
Working closely with
@iglooregeneration , and alongside the brilliant teams progressing the current phases that bound our plot — One Founders Place (
@ahmmarchitects ) and Orchard Yard (
@faulknerbrowns ) — our role has focused on strengthening the public realm, refining key views and drawing on the industrial heritage of the Stephenson Works to create adaptable, mass-timber workspaces that feel at home in this evolving part of the city.
Our concept is arranged as two distinct blocks — Block A pictured, positioned opposite One Founders Place — collectively providing circa 8,000 sqm (c. 86,000 sqft) of primarily workspace accommodation. This split-block strategy resolves complex level changes, reinstates the historic grain of Sussex Street and frames new public realm opportunities with clarity and purpose.
The ALT STUDIOS team are delighted to be contributing to a project of this calibre within the city.
