Ochre Yards, Gateshead
Block 11 : Progress Image No 1 : 11 June 2004
Ochre Yards is the site of the former Greenfields Railway Works overlooking the Tyne. When complete the site will accomodate 11 apartments blocks by P + HS Architects for Bellway Homes and a separate commercial development by Faulkner Browns.
Block 11 is the third block to be constructed and, at 180 meteres long, screens the site from railway lines at the rear. 111 apartments are accomodated, which are reached via open decks at the rear served from three towers.
The structure comprises a reinforced concrete podium, built over a ground floor carpark, which supports 3 and 5.5 storey timber frame assemblies above.
The image is of the timber frame under construction to the east tower and infill block.
