SPENCE & DOWER TO CO-LOCATE WITH XSITE ARCHITECTURE
Spence & Dower Architects, the long established and hugely well
renowned architectural conservation specialists will be moving their offices in
early May 2019. Following a recent property investment in the Ouseburn by
Spence & Dower Partners, Tina Gough and Colin Haylock, and around 18 months
of developing a close working relationship on projects and practice with
complementary practice xsite architecture, the award winning practice is going
to co-locate into the Ouseburn Valley at xsite’s studio Arch 6 on Stepney Bank.
Co-location brings with it a series of immediate benefits in sharing
CPD, back office functions, ancillary space and being able to develop joint
projects with efficient working practices and expertise in a wide range of
sectors and services. Spence & Dower’s continuing work on several projects
with English Heritage, under their Framework Agreement, and
Union Chain Bridge crossing the border between England and Scotland sets their
stall out as exemplary in their principal field while xsite’s recently
completed North East Futures UTC school and Boilershop in the Stephenson
Quarter illustrates how complementary good contemporary design can be when set
against an existing historic setting.
The two practices are working collaboratively at the moment on several
projects across the UK and expect this co-location to bring instant advantage
to communication and resourcing of these projects.
