Devonshire Gardens Pavillion
This open competition seeks Expressions of Interest from innovative architectural practices for the design of a public pavilion for the mixed-used development of Devonshire Gardens in Cambridge.
This project is to design a new pavilion at the heart of a new mixed development in Cambridge. The new green garden, in which the pavilion will sit, is a critical element of the scheme and seeks to bring nature back into the city, improving biodiversity, introducing sustainable drainage, and creating places and spaces for all to enjoy.
The winning team will be appointed to develop their ideas to RIBA Stage 2 at which point the scheme will be detailed and delivered by R H Partnership Architects and the delivery team. The winning team will be paid £10,000 (plus VAT) for the delivery of a Stage 2 scheme (and some input into stage 3) as a fixed fee. R H Partnership Architects and the wider design and delivery team will support the successful practice as and when required but the winning team must be capable of delivering a qualitative, innovative, and sustainable design.
