This document discusses the design of a vacant plot called 57 Quayside in Newcastle. It notes the design constraints of the long, narrow site and surrounding listed buildings. 3D laser scanning was used to accurately model neighboring structures in Revit. Early conceptual designs show a 4-story building with atriums to maximize natural light, with public areas on the ground floor and private offices on upper floors. Structural models show a steel frame with bracing and service cores. Revit was used for design development and renders showing interior views and the building facade within the city context.

Design constraints :
- A long narrow plan, 13m x 45m - Neighbouring structures
- South facing - Overlooked, right to light
- Listed buildings and conservation area - Overshadowed
- Adjacent River Tyne - Access from the quayside and car park to East

3. Documenting the site
Point cloud data used to accurately model neighbouring buildings on Revit.
- Millimeter accuracy
- Window heights, streetscape levels etc captured
- Materials and finishes of surrounding buildings

4. Concept Design - Early Architectural Model
- 4 story building, in keeping with surroundings
- 2 atrium divide spaces
- Maximise natural light and views through space
57 Quayside Team 3
- Occupied offices and meeting rooms positioned to
maximise natural light and views
- Public services located at front of building
- Private offices at rear
- Public ground floor with training and
meeting rooms.
- Private upper floors for leased offices
- Functional rooms and services centrally located
