Northshore is a 56 acre regeneration development located adjacent to Stockton-on-Tees town centre. It is a collaboration between Muse Developments, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and the Homes and Communities Agency.
The Northshore gateway site sits between the core development area and the town centre. It plays a vital role in ensuring the regenerative benefits of the area are shared between the new development itself, the town and the surrounding areas. As part of the comprehensive redevelopment of this site, we constructed a new £14m 128-bedroom Hampton by Hilton hotel.
The seven-storey hotel has a double height entrance foyer overlooking the entrance plaza and welcomes visitors into the hotel. On entering the building, guests and visitors have clear views through to reception and the main circulation lifts. The ground floor includes the entrance, work zone, seating areas, reception desk, main restaurant, breakfast area, bar, kitchen and laundry. The eastern side of the ground floor has been fully glazed giving views towards the Tees Infinity Bridge.
There is a mixture of curtain walling, brickwork and rainscreen cladding to each of the 4 elevations providing varying levels of natural light into each of the 4-bedroom types.
We installed all soft furnishings, curtains, artwork, kitchen equipment etc. while allowing a smooth transition from construction to hotel operation. A ‘soft landing approach’ ensured operating supplies and equipment were delivered, installed and training was completed in a timely manner, which give the client confidence to operate efficiently from day one.
This cooperative approach meant the hotel operator (Hilton and Interstate) opened and started operating two weeks ahead of their originally planned opening date.
