General

Gaia have become increasingly involved in designing industrial and commercial buildings.

From early, high-tech, small scale projects such as the Simple Minds studios (1987) - through offices, industrial, agricultural and educational buildings, to strategic planning of major industrial developments, such as the Newburn Development in Newcastle (1999), the practice has always been eager to engage in dialogue with clients who are usually seen as hard edged and conventional in their brief setting.

Over the past five years we have found clients to be increasingly eager to embrace sustainable development, albeit they are often unaware of what it entails. The challenge is to provide it at little or no extra cost.
