InduStrIAL ExPErtISEArchial norr has significant expertise and experience in the whole spectrum of the industrial sector throughout the uK, mainland Europe, and Internationally. Working with developers, occupiers and industrial processors with projects ranging from nursery units for start-up companies, large scale logistics and distribution warehouses to bespoke manufacturing plants for delivery of cutting edge technology.

A major factor in successful industrial and logistics planning and design is site utilisation and infrastructure integration which is undertaken at initial feasibility stage as part of our masterplanning services. Also important is appreciation of potential future adaptation and many of our projects have involved fitting out complex industrial processes into previously constructed space.

the success of any project is underpinned by a thorough detailed understanding of the requirements of the brief and manurfacturing process not only from the client but also the other occupiers, planning constraints and the investment markets. We listen to our clients’ needs to ensure that we deliver a quality architectural solution with added value at all stages of the project.

our services include fully integrated architectural and engineering disciplines acting as Lead consultant together with project management and where necessary process or mechanical handling installations. We strive to produce industrial workspace and logistics floorspace which are creative, cost effective and technically sophisticated solutions.

the combination of these specialist skills enable successful and efficient space utilisation with in-built flexibility from initial concept and feasibility stages to detailed finer design to produce high quality schemes that optimise a site’s potential and where appropriate maximise the client’s return on investment.

BAE Building, Washington, tyne & Wear, uK


It is nearly 1,000 years since Benedictine Monks founded Buckfast Abbey. throughout its history, the Abbey has seen many fine buildings constructed which have been redeveloped and adapted as needs have changed.

the Abbey is located on the southern boundary of dartmoor national Park and its grounds are bisected by the river dart. As well as being home to a community of Benedictine Monks, Buckfast Abbey is also famed for its beautiful church, its beekeeping, its conference centre, its stunning setting, which welcomes many visitors, and its tonic wine.

Buckfast Abbey commissioned Archialnorr to design a new winery which had to: sit well in the beautiful parkland setting adjacent to the river dart; live up to the Abbey’s fine architectural standards; be a modern production facility capable of meeting current hygiene standards; allow better vehicular access and protect and enhance the environment. the design team was further challenged by the selection of the site as, whilst it provided better vehicular access possibilities and allowed the building to be laid out to modern standards; it was on an almost inaccessible hillside, sloping down into the river dart. the engineering solution required the creation of extensive retaining walls in order to create a plateau on which the building could stand.

views of the historic Abbey buildings had to be respected, as did the landscape within the national Park. the design team developed an engineered earth solution, banking up towards the building. As a result, the building appears to have been tucked into the natural landscape, with the curved gables, green roof and curving canopy roof helping to soften the impact of the development.

the project features many sustainable details including: locally sourced gabion stone; external lighting, designed to avoid impact on the large local bat population; extensive wildlife conservation and the provision of natural ponds.

the new £35 million facility provides BAE Systems with a state-of-the-art production facility at the heart of the new radial 64 Business and Industrial Park, in Sunderland, which was developed by highbridge Properties. Archial norr was involved in extensive feasibility studies of BAE’s existing facilities, alternative site appraisals, the creation of in-depth Employers’ requirements, tender Action & contractor selection over a five year period.

this considerable manufacturing facility features a deliberately practical and pragmatic design to meet the requirements of large-scale production lines, together with contemporary office and welfare accommodation.

featuring a modern forge and incorporating robotic machining cells and environment-friendly paint and treatment capabilities, the Wearside plant will carry out machining and treatments of large-calibre tank, mortar and artillery ammunition.

the design rationale for this facility has now been put forward for multiple BAE sites across the country. It incorporates many environmental considerations such as rainwater harvesting, sustainable materials and working initiatives that will assist in the longevity of the building and the business.

the design and building has ensured longevity of an historical business in the area and ensured new skills continue to develop within a new facility that helps attract the highest calibre of personnel.

“the working relationship with Archial norr and the BAE systems team was excellent, we feel as though we worked together to solve issues and I would go so far to say we have become good friends with the team as a result of the process. Archial norr always appeared to ask the right questions from us to enable us to formulate the correct solution.

the Archial norr team would never jump to a solution, however like to take the problem away and quickly come up with options for us to consider.

I would recommend the Archial norr team to any potential client, they are professional, personable and have a wealth of experience. through Archial norr’s contribution our new facility has achieved a BAE Systems Silver Award for Innovation and was down selected to go for the prestigious BAE Systems gold Award Panel.”

for this £185m Microelectronics Waferfab Production facility, designed for Siemens (uK) at a site near newcastle, Archial norr provided a cost-efficient, world-class plant while meeting all technical, environmental and safety requirements.

the plant went from groundbreaking to production-ready in only 17 months and to full qualification in 21 months, four months ahead of schedule.

the development includes a five-storey office building, a four storey support building, a production facility (Module 1) based on the ‘ballroom’ clean room concept and ancillary buildings.

unified materials, consistent detailing and the careful alignment of elements, both vertically and horizontally, convey clarity of purpose while retaining a human scale to the building form.

the development occupies a prominent location adjacent to a major route into newcastle and a crisp, modern industrial aesthetic was adopted, to reflect and symbolise the very rational approach Siemens takes to its product design.

It has since taken on multiple uses, and different tenants demonstrating our design intent of flexibilty and future proofing.

the Lynx Wildcat training facility is a unique and specialised project designed by Archialnorr for Agusta Westland (AW) who was contracted directly by the Ministry of defence to provide an integrated building solution that included complex equipment for training of Army and royal navy personnel in the use of the AW159 Lynx Wildcat helicopter.

the programme for this 3-storey project was unique and evolutionary as it represented a new era in defence training whereby Aviators and Land based personnel training for multiple branches of the Armed forces were brought together in a single training building located at royal navy Air Station (rnAS), yeovilton.historically, each of these forces kept their training facilities separate and was further segregated by the hierarchy that existed between land based personnel (the technicians) and air crews (the pilots).following the uK’s strategic review of the Armed forces and severe cut backs in defence spending, this project represented the first step towards synergising the forces under one roof thus creating an innovative and cost efficient building solution.

the facility provides the highest quality of training to aircrews and ground crews and is equipped to provide a wide range of synthetic training covering the aircrafts mechanical, avionic and weapon systems. the facility has two full Motion Simulators, a flight training device and a cockpit Procedure trainer. All of the simulators are capable of delivering Army or royal navy configurations and mission training. Each of the full Motion Simulators have six degrees of freedom to provide the acceleration sensations associated with helicopter flying together with a visual system providing highly realistic and cost effective training. Physically the simulators were separated from the building structure and foundations to ensure complete isolation against any vibration or motion being transmitted to other occupied areas within the building.

the training centre also contains a suite of briefing rooms, integrated electronic classrooms and a learning management system providing training for the Army and royal navy.

cAE is a leading provider of simulation and training services for civil aviation and defence customers worldwide. the brief was to provide a high quality facility adjacent to their existing uK headquarters in Burgess hill to enable their civil aviation business to expand over the next few years. the site is located on the fringe of an industrial estate and is bounded to the west by the A273.

the new building accommodates 12 new flight simulators, ancillary facilities and a café link to the existing cAE building.

careful consideration was given to the requirements of the new simulators in the design of the building with particular attention to its structural principles, the relationship it would have with the existing building and surrounding area together with sustainability issues such as natural ventilation.

given the prominent location of the site adjacent to the A273 and the high quality of the existing building designed by Lifschutz davidson and completed in 1999, the Mid Sussex district council took a keen interest in the design process and emphasised the need for a new building that would respond sensitively to the existing building whilst being a high quality building in its own right.

Internally the new building is split into four distinct areas; a glazed atrium, a two-storey central administration core and two large open halls each side, both large enough for four simulators.

A further four simulators are accommodated in an extension to the existing simulator hall.
