Close, Nos. 8 & 10, Newcastle


Mansion House Chambers, Nos. 8 & 10, Close in Newcastle were built as shops and houses in c.1830. The building (at 2024) now hosts Quayside Studios, a creative hub centred on Enigma Interactive, and the lower floor is Tiger Hornsby cocktail bar. The building is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England. It is at the east end of Close, after which the road continues as Sandhill. Castle Stairs suns along the west side of the building. The building was rennovated in 2010 by Space (architects), adding a 'glass box' at the rear of the building to provide an extra floor of office space that was contemporary, whilst also aiming to retain and emphase the building’s period features.[1]
