Posted on by will_mwsnkrr

Our competitive proposal for an eco-driving range on the historic Dunston Staithes has been announced as the RIBA Forgotten Spaces Winner 2012. The monumental structure caught our imagination and we hope this may inspire much needed regeneration to the industrial monument.

We were delighted the structure and our intervention have been recognised in this competition. An exhibition on the shortlisted schemes is running in Newcastle’s Newgate Centre until December 14th.
