Description

National Museums Liverpool (NML) is seeking to appoint an Architectural Design team & Principal Designer to deliver a programme of works through RIBA stage 3-7 for four of our historic dockside buildings such that they can be let to commercial tenants.  The requirement is for the Lead Consultant and Principal Designer (the Architect) and sub-consultant team to work with National Museum Liverpool (NML) and our partners, in developing the refurbishment project for the Historic Dockside buildings. This would entail the refurbishment of the Cooperage (Grade II listed), Piermaster's Office (Grade II listed), Mermaid House and Great Western Railway building end pavilion (Grade II listed). 
      
      The contract value is estimated to range between £125,000 GBP and £160,000 GBP excluding VAT.   
      
      The project relates to the refurbishment of the building fabric ready to receive food service equipment for these to be let commercially as food and beverage outlets.  
      
      The remit of this procurement is to provide design for all areas, including roofs, elevations and all floors to enable later construction works to commence.
      
      Our ambition is to create new venues on the historic waterfront which can be commercially let as food and beverage offers.  This transformation will be led by our internal Major Projects team and accompanying stakeholders in an approach that will enhance the current offer to visitors to the Liverpool Waterfront.  This is to be achieved through refurbishing and developing the buildings as dedicated spaces for food and beverage offers to be operated by commercial partners. The buildings and offer must complement the historic environment on the waterfront as part of NMLs overall vision. 
      
      NML is looking for a team that is creative, innovative, diverse, highly skilled, and experienced, and able to deliver the project in line with the programme timescales. The team will need to demonstrate experience and an understanding of developing a project within listed buildings for commercial purposes.  Accordingly, the multi-disciplinary team must be able to demonstrate experience of working with Grade II or above listed buildings such as ours and the ability to create a design solution that will provide a realistic and future-proofed solution in the face of climate and biodiversity crises, including effective adaptation and mitigation. The team must have experience of delivering sustainable buildings and/or refurbishment projects to the highest standard and the ability to deliver a building sustainability plan which includes the integration of both climate change mitigation, adaptation measures and minimisation of operational cost.

HAR6080 Gateways to Whitechapel Market

NLA has partnered with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to invite architects, landscape architects, designers and artists to propose, develop and submit a design proposal for new visual focal points that act as ‘gateways’ to Whitechapel Market. The competition seeks public realm proposals that celebrate the unique character of Whitechapel and its community, transforming key locations along Whitechapel Road to better signify the market and welcome both locals and visitors. The goal is to commission an innovative and impactful design that enhances the public realm and serves the local community more effectively. Overall, the key objectives of the project are to deliver a series of public realm interventions that: • Are unique, bold and visually striking • Signal the entries into Whitechapel Market with significant gateway markers or art pieces • Celebrate and respect the character and history of Whitechapel, ensuring designs complement the existing streetscape and comply with the Whitechapel Market Conservation area. • Prioritise pedestrian road safety, noting the limited available pedestrian space at the Vallance Road junction site. • Doesn't inhibit vehicular traffic • Improve accessibility and connectivity through enhanced wayfinding • Embrace and reflect the richness of Whitechapel’s diverse communities and market • Contribute to creating a welcome environment to bring tourists and visitors together to showcase Whitechapel’s unique identity • Compliment the work being done as part of the Whitechapel Road Improvements Project, without any duplication. • Is appropriately lit and does not impede good sight lines • Encourage intergenerational sociability throughout the day and night and are not likely to encourage dominance of the space by a single group of people • Aligns well with Co-Design Principles. • Considers circular economy principals, being consistent with longevity to avoid premature end of life. The winning scheme may include – but is not limited to – the following components: • Signage referencing the entrance to Whitechapel Market • Public art • Planting and greening • Elevated gateway (bridge like) • Smaller meeting areas • Moving digital art • Sculptures
