A Tyneside architecture firm is planning a hectic summer campaign after landing a series of high profile contracts.
Plus Three Architecture, of Jesmond, recently beat a number of national architects in a competition to design the new BT headquarters in South Tyneside, which is expected to create 500 new jobs for the region.
The council is set to construct the £11.2m development as part of a major redevelopment in South Shields and will lease it to the telecoms provider as a base for its UK operations.
Plus Three has now signed up to a range of new projects and is looking forward to a busy summer period.
Director Simon Dunstan, said: “It’s an exciting time for the company. We are working on a massive scheme in Kendal. This a huge regeneration project on a 20-acre site on the edge of the town centre.
“This will include a new superstore, an office and factory for a local engineering company as well as a new bridge over the River Kent.”
The Kendal development is said to be part of a £130m overhaul of the area, which is hoped to begin in September, on the back of a public consultation due to take place next week.
Plus Three is now working on proposals for a new four-star hotel in Newcastle’s city centre and will be submitting a planning application within the next 8 weeks.
Construction for the new BT site in South Shields will begin in May, and is due for completion in June 2011.
