Northern Ballet HQ, Leeds

This purpose-built, six-storey, multifunction building is the HQ that Northern Ballet and Phoenix Dance had waited 15 years for . . .

Three double-height dance studios, a performance space and a fourth studio– the largest square meterage of dance studio in Britain . . .

A building with specific challenges: simultaneous heating of single and double-storey spaces. . . .

And requiring showers for dancers on every floor.

Green credentials are good, with a sedum roof and solar panels for water heating.

A job won through commitment to the local economy and to local apprentices.

The client was so delighted with the work that they have given us the maintenance contract for services.
