Competitive Interview The Lowther
Castle, Penrith, Cumbria
Expressions of interest are invited
from architectural practices to join a team of professional consultants
to carry forward the conclusions of a Conservation Plan for Lowther
Castle and Gardens, to enable these features to be open to the
public and function as a high-profile visitor attraction. The
competition is being organised by the RIBA on behalf of The Lowther
Estate.
Lowther Castle stands as a ruin,
Listed Grade II*. The gardens and parkland are Listed Grade II
on English Heritage's Register of Parks and Gardens of Historic
Interest. The intention is to conserve, repair, and maintain
the existing structural shell of Lowther Castle in order to secure
its long-term future, and to protect and enhance the nature conservation
potential of the grounds.
The Estate wishes to select an
architectural practice which is able to offer a very high quality
of design skills for a project in an exceptionally sensitive
setting. Up to six architectural practices will be invited to
interview.
Applicants wishing to be considered
for the competition should contact the RIBA Competitions Office
for a preliminary briefing paper. The deadline for expressions
of interest is Tuesday 8th July.
Full details of the competition
and how to register are available from RIBA Competitions Office,
