This was a scheme to renovate run down warehouse units into high specification luxury accommodation. The strong industrial brickwork and existing ironwork was used as inspiration for the design and utilised the generous internal heights and window openings to create modern interiors while retaining elements of the buildings history.

Modern building methods and material were used to bring it in line with the latest building regulations including thermal insulation, to ensure comfort was not sacrificed for character. Jordan+Bateman Architects design ethos is that the best way to preserve historical buildings for our future is to make them viable for use in the present.

The office of the British Consul General in Alexandria is housed in a large historic Neoclassical villa. The project was to reconfigure, upgrade and restore the office to meet modern needs. The key to the project was to infill a classical colonnaded external loggia to form a new commercial waiting room and reception. This was accomplished by installing a frameless glass entrance screen behind the curved colonnade. The existing waiting room allowed for the additional back office space and the decant area for the reconfiguration and restoration works.

Jordan+Bateman Architects were originally commissioned to develop options for extending the existing High Commission to process additional Visa’s. Jordan+Bateman Architects were then appointed to provide a new building within the existing grounds. This enabled the Mission to continue working within the existing facilities and then decant to the new building with minimal disruption to services or staff. The proposed new build provided 22 additional interview booths to meet the client’s needs, along with associated offices, processing and public waiting area.

The building used a limited pallet of materials to create an elegant building that made the best use of available local materials and resources. Externally canopies were provided to shade waiting applicants, and shade the exterior of the building, reducing solar gain and glare.

Jordan+Bateman Architects have recently been re-commissioned to reconfigure the High Commission’s layout and refurbish the interior to meet the clients changing needs. This is to maximise space and efficiency in a cost effective design.

The Stadium’s form is a simple drum finished in deep coloured stone, with horizontal slots rhythmically forming a constant pattern around the ‘drum’ and across the roof. A number of the slots will be filled with translucent fabric to shelter the participants and spectators from the sun. Other slots will be left open to encourage natural wind currents and convection to draw air through the structure to cool the central arena space.

The planning meets or exceeds FIFA’s criteria for international soccer events and is easily convertible to meet the Olympic requirements of other IAAF sports. Due to the location we have also used our knowledge to facilitate a safe environment for the whole park and reduce the carbon produced by the building.

The raised drum will form the centre of the larger site for Basra Sports City, with its lines defining the surrounding landscape. These orientation lines, formed from palm trees, and additional structures, focus on the Stadium, other individual sports facilities and facilities such as the Media Centre.
