Supporting a landmark creative hub with building, fit-out, and maintenance expertise
Our team collaborated with the highly acclaimed Generator Studios to deliver ongoing building, fit-out, and maintenance works across this landmark Grade II listed workspace in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Home to a thriving community of creative businesses, Generator Studios combines a rich industrial heritage with modern practicality. Since 2016, we have played a key role in preserving this balance, delivering a rolling programme of refurbishments, upgrades, and reactive maintenance to keep the building operating at its very best.
The brief
Generator Studios needed a trusted, long-term partner to provide continuous building, maintenance, and refurbishment support for its multi-tenanted workspace. The priority was to maintain the building’s warm, homely atmosphere while enhancing the large, bright studio spaces that encourage even greater creativity and collaboration.
This included refreshing spaces during tenant changeovers, installing modern kitchens in keeping with the building’s industrial look, carrying out sensitive refurbishments that respected its Grade II listed status, creating new partitions to help businesses optimise their layouts, and providing reliable reactive maintenance whenever needed.
We needed to complete all of these works to complement the building’s character, protect its original features, and minimise disruption to tenants.
The solution
We deployed experienced tradespeople and maintenance specialists to deliver a consistent, high-quality service throughout the five-year programme.
Our work included:
- Redecoration and refresh works during tenant changeovers, enabling businesses to move straight into clean, revitalised spaces
- Installation of contemporary kitchens, designed to blend seamlessly with Generator Studios’ industrial chic aesthetic
- Sensitive refurbishment that worked with the building’s Grade II listed structure, preserving its character while upgrading facilities
- New partitioning solutions to help tenants create defined, functional working zones within the large, airy office spaces
- Ongoing reactive maintenance, ensuring the building’s tenants and management team have fast, reliable support whenever issues arise
Our approach was collaborative, respectful of the building’s heritage, and tailored to the needs of a dynamic, creative community.
Results & benefits
Our fruitful, long-term partnership with Generator Studios has ensured the building continues to operate efficiently while retaining its unique character and atmosphere.
This has included delivering consistently high-quality, tenant-ready spaces that support new and growing businesses, modernising communal areas and kitchens to boost satisfaction and appeal, and making the most of the available space through thoughtful partitioning and layout solutions.
We have also preserved key heritage features to make sure that all upgrades respect the building’s Grade II listed status, while providing reliable ongoing maintenance that gives building management peace of mind and keeps occupants operating without disruption.
