Wimpey Homes: Staiths South Bank

Wimpey Homes invited designers Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway - vocal critics of volume housing provision - to design a 688 Home Zone development on the banks of the River Tyne at Gateshead.

Through this collaboration, the Hemingways are working with Newcastle based IDP Architects on the overall design concept and to integrate their principals of design, community and affordability throughout the project.
