RIBA Regional Shortlist for Auckland Castle, Tower and Faith Museum

The Auckland Projects Faith Museum, Castle and Tower has been shortlisted for a North East RIBA Award. The client, The Auckland Project was founded by philanthropist Jonathan Ruffer.

TAPESTRY BUILDING PROGRESS

MARCH 2015

Tapestry Building Progress

Looking south from the roof garden, the view is framed by the ‘beak’ of the building looking south over Regents Canal and out towards the BT tower.

The concrete frame of the Tapestry (T1) building is approaching completion, with just two more floors to be constructed. This space on the 8th floor will become an outdoor roof garden enclosed either side by two level ‘townhouses’ and a tower to the north. The area will be open to residents and landscaped with trees and gardens.
