The doors to the North East’s ‘smartest office’ have opened in Newcastle city centre following a £30m construction project.
One Strawberry Lane has taken more than three years to take shape, but has now welcomed workers who can take advantage of its colourful breakout spaces, cafe, meeting pods and open plan workspaces. The building is one of only 80 buildings in the world to receive Smartscore certification – the highest possible global accreditation for modern buildings – making it the most technologically advanced in the region.
It was developed by Ask Real Estate and built by BAM Construction, creating or sustaining around 400 construction and supply chain jobs. The building was designed by Ryder Architecture and DLA Architecture, while interior designers Overbury were enlisted to carry out the internal fit out.
