Architect says Solihull scheme’s ethos was ’simple things done beautifully’
Bennetts Associates完成了诺顿摩托车公司在索利赫尔的新总部大楼的工作。
制造商已经搬进了现有的轻工业建筑，该建筑经过改造，包括客户接待、品牌展示、服务车间、制造、设计和研发工作室以及测试设施和办公室。
The 7,300sq m scheme was completed earlier this month although the complex began turning out bikes just six months after the project team was appointed last year. Others to work on the job include QS Stace, structural engineer Cundall and services engineer Couch Perry Wilkes.
Norton was founded in 1898 and went into administration at the start of last year before being rescued by Indian motorcycle giant TVS Motor Company.
Julian Lipscombe, director of Bennetts Associates, said: “It has been a great privilege to play a key role in the rebirth of a global icon. We have created an environment for Norton that embodies their commitment to design quality, innovation and sustainability. A project ethos from the outset of ‘simple things done beautifully’ has resulted in a refined solution that could be delivered at great speed.”
