Aufgabe
West Hendon Playing Fields is a large public open space located in the London Borough of Barnet near to West Hendon. The park contains a range of amenities and facilities including two tennis courts, a popular playground, and football pitches, all set within a traditional park setting - making it one of the largest recreation grounds in Barnet. There is a significant ecological contribution from the site itself and its surroundings. The site has been identified for investment in facilities, access, and its identity.
The London Borough of Barnet (LBB), in partnership with the Landscape Institute (LI), is launching a two-stage design contest to select an outstanding designer or team of designers to prepare design proposals for a wide-ranging and comprehensive package of improvements to transform the West Hendon Playing Fields from its current form to an exemplary destination park. The LBB intends to award a contract to the winning entrant for the development of the winning scheme, with a total project budget of £18.8m.
There are clear opportunities to develop facilities and services that not only meet local need for improved sports and community facilities, but exploit the unique nature and location of the site, particularly linked to its Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) designation. As well as developing a new sports hub and community facilities for local residents, there is an opportunity to improve basic pedestrian and cycle route connections to and around the wider site.
Informationen
The design contest will be held in two stages. The first stage will be open to all. Entries will be judged against a set of criteria defined later in this brief. The scoring will be undertaken by a judging panel and the three highest scoring entries will be shortlisted and invited to proceed to stage 2 of the contest.
The Stage 2 brief is contained within this specification for reference. On submission of a compliant entry each shortlisted entrant will receive an honorarium of £10,000. The entries from the shortlisted teams will be evaluated by a judging panel against a predetermined set of judging criteria and the winning entrant will be the highest scoring entry.
