It was a bitter blow for drinkers when a Tyneside riverside real ale pub closed its doors for the last time.

But now the listed Victorian building is to be given a new life after being bought by an expanding architectural practice.

Blake Hopkinson Architects are to turn the Porthole pub on New Quay at North Shields into their own headquarters.

The architects have been based at the nearby Fish Quay since the practice was set up eight years ago, but a surge in business has seen the 12-strong team outgrow its current office.

The pub, dating from 1897, was the work of Sunderland architects W&TR Milburn, who specialised in theatre design.

The Portholes balcony reflects that influence by resembling a theatre box.

Architect Darren Blake said: The Porthole building was owned by one of our clients and after the pub closed he was looking at other uses.

We were looking for offices and it suited both purposes.

We have expanded quite rapidly with seven major schemes this year but wanted to stay on the river.

The Porthole appealed because of its character and we have stripped away modern additions to get it back to its original features, said Darren, who was project architect for the Sage headquarters building on Newcastle Great Park.

Nearly 10 years after its founding, Bohlin and Powell Architects arrived in the national spotlight.

It was 1976 when its Forest House, a summer home designed for Peter Bohlins parents in Connecticut, appeared on the cover of New York Times Magazine.

A simple building becomes serious architecture thanks to a knowing choice of materials, rich use of color and intelligent arrangement of spaces, a summation of the article read.

The Wilkes-Barre-based architectural firms projects have been celebrated in many publications over its five decades.

Architects Mr. Bohlin and the late Richard Powell founded the firm in 1965 with a single office on North Franklin Street in downtown Wilkes-Barre. The firm merged with Bernard Cywinskis Philadelphia-based architectural practice in 1979. Mr. Bohlin and Mr. Cywinski had drawn together through a shared interest in sketching.

This year, the firm, now known as Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, celebrates a half-century of projects. It took that name in 1991; Jon Jackson is among the principal architects in the firm.

Mr. Bohlin, who lives in Waverly, called their firms journey an unusual one.

One, we started here. That is unusual for a major firm, Mr. Bohlin said of its Northeast Pennsylvania roots. Two, weve never given up doing little buildings. Most major firms in the U.S. dont do little buildings.

Over the last 50 years, Mr. Bohlin has worked with famous icons like self-made billionaire Bill Gates and the late Apple CEO, co-founder and inventor Steve Jobs in designing dozens of Apple stores. He is now working with Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and founder and CEO of Square, a mobile payments company.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has announced recipients for two of its annual awards. Thomas E. Lollini, FAIA, and Thomas Luebke, FAIA, have been selected as the recipients of the Thomas Jefferson Award, and The Lyceum Fellowship Inc. and Transsolar KlimaEngineering have been selected as the recipients of the 2015 Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement.

The Thomas Jefferson Award for Public Architecture recognizes excellence in architectural advocacy and achievement of architects in the private and public sectors and public officials. Lollini is being recognized for his contributions as campus architect at both University of California-Berkeley and University of California-Merced. Luebke has served as the Secretary of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts since 2005, and he act as a mediator between designers and the rest of Washington D.C.s regulatory stakeholders.

The Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement recognizes and encourages distinguished achievements of allied professionals, clients, organizations, architect teams, knowledge communities, and others who have had a beneficial influence on or advanced the architectural profession.

The Lyceum Fellowship Inc. has provided meaningful design, travel, and educational opportunities for architecture students for nearly 30 years. In the years since its founding, the Lyceum has awarded more than $423,000 in prize money to 84 students; and more than 100 students have been recognized with merit or citation awards.

Transsolar KlimaEngineering, a climate engineering firm founded in Stuttgart, Germany in 1992, enriches the architectural dialog by examining every aspect of a project in light of the dual objectives of lowering energy consumption while increasing human comfort. As an example, Transsolars collaboration with Solomon Cordwell Buenz at Loyola University Chicago has helped the campus reduce its carbon footprint by half.

The jury for the 2015 Thomas Jefferson Award includes: Donald King, FAIA (Chair), DKA Architecture; Hiroshi Jacobs, Assoc. AIA, Studios Architecture; Michael Pyatok, FAIA, Pyatok Architects; David Trevino, AIA, City of Dallas and Karen E. Williams, AIA, PIVOT Architecture.
