There’s some changes happening in Newcastle. One of the benefits of being a photographer is getting to visit amazing spaces, sometimes before they are open to the public.

In May, Richard Crookes Constructions contacted me to photograph some of the new rooms of the QT Hotel Newcastle before completion of the project.

It is an exceptional development and an example of how to thoughtfully reimagine spaces for new uses while paying respect to their history. I really enjoyed the private tour with the Richard Crookes Constructions crews explaining the work done to merge the structure of the old David Jones Building and the new construction.
Looking forward to seeing how the next 2 phases of the East End Village will revitalise the city of Newcastle.

Now the QT is open to the public, I hope to be back there to enjoy a drink on the rooftop bar soon. Enjoy the moody atmosphere.
