    Overview

    The Pavilion marks a collaboration between internationally renowned artist Victor Pasmore and town planners to develop the new town of Peterlee. The Pavilion, an iconic example of 1960’s art, is located in the Sunny Blunts Park and forms the centrepiece of the Sunny Blunts estate.

    Fallen into a state of disrepair, the Pavilion had subsequently lost a significant number of the original features. The restoration project aimed to restore the Pavilion to its original design replacing missing architectural features, reinstating the landscape setting in which the pavilion stands, and developing a community education programme.

    Commencing in 2009 and completing mid-2010, Rider Levett Bucknall was appointed to act as Lead Project Monitor and Mentors from commencement to practical completion of the approved work, advising on Programme Management, Procurement Management, Design Development, Cost Development, Cash Flow Management, Co-funding Approval, and Grant Drawdown.

    Since completion, the structure has won various awards, including the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for excellence in architecture, a Civic Trust Award, a commendation at the Building Excellence Awards North East, and two prizes at Durham Environmental Awards to name a few.

Under the shelter provided by the tensile structure, a viewing gallery has been established above the casements, from which museum patrons can view the channel the fort was originally built to defend.

    Overview

    Rider Levett Bucknall was appointed as Professional Advisors and Monitors for this £11m new build scheme to provide a new Headquarters for Northern Ballet and the Phoenix Dance Company on a brownfield site in Leeds City Centre. The site is adjacent to the Leeds Playhouse within a media and cultural quarter promoted by Leeds City Council.

    The building was completed in September 2010 and opened to the public in October 2010. The building achieves a BREEAM excellent standard and is a striking piece of modern design, clad in zinc ‘tiles’ with a three storey atrium entrance area.

    Over 6 floors the building provides 4,800 sq m of rehearsal studios, offices and specialist production areas to serve the needs of the two dance companies. The largest studio includes the facility to be set up as a theatre that can accommodate 150 people. This flexibility of use is being exploited to accommodate business conferences etc. when the dance companies are on tour or in the evenings when the studio space is freely available. The business community has been attracted by the quality of the building and its niche market. This has enabled both dance companies to raise their profile, increase the prospects for sponsorship and achieve revenue receipts that reduce their running costs.

    Rider Levett Bucknall UK Ltd, in partnership with Jura Consultants Ltd, was appointed by the BIG Lottery to undertake OGC Milestones 3, 4 and 5 reviews of the Falkirk Helix Living Landmarks Project.  Milestone 3 has now been completed; Milestones 4 and 5 are programmed for the delivery and completion phases.

    The Falkirk Helix is a major transformational project on a key transport corridor between Glasgow and Edinburgh led by the Local Authority and major landowner British Waterways; with strong input from the local community and an aspiration that the community organisation will be responsible for operation post capital work completion.  The proposal consists of the development of public art adjacent the M9, the re-routing of the adjacent Canal beneath the M9, together with the development of new Parkland for community benefit and management, with visitor facilities.

    The peer review consisted of a remote assessment of project documentation, followed by a two day team review comprising interviews with project team members, Trustees, beneficiaries and the management team.

    The review cut across all stages and parts of the project providing a detailed assessment of:

    • Cost Management and cost control
    • Management decision making at a Project Management and Executive and Trustee level
    • Assessment of co-funding status and availability; cash flow implications of the proposals
    • Design Status, material selection, design security
    • Financial and technical feasibility; ‘is the project deliverable within the budgetary envelope?’
    • Procurement strategy; consultants and contractors
    • Planning and site ownership constraints

    Facilities include a £2.5m learning suite and auditorium for talks, lectures, performances, meetings and screenings.

    The project faced the challenge of a contaminated water front site prone to flooding; complex foundation designs and fundraising challenges. The procurement options for FFE were thoroughly researched and investigated with the grantee to minimise the risk of cost overage and to consider risk transfer from the client to contractor.

    Overview

    This unique, once in a lifetime project, is to conserve and renovate the artists’ studios overlooking Porthmeor Beach in St Ives.  Since the late 1800’s artists from around the world have used the space above the fishermen’s cellars as studios from which to paint.  Since 1938 Porthmeor has been the home to the St Ives School of Painting.

    Over the years the Grade II* listed building has deteriorated, although it is still being used.  The project aims to bring the studios back to life and provide additional studio space together with facilities for disabled artists.

    The project funding is incredibly complex, with nine separate funding bodies together with Trusts and Foundations donating smaller amounts to make up the shortfall.

    In addition to the focus for the artists, the project will provide a better environment for the fishermen in the cellars.

    English Heritage has said the project is “an exemplary demonstration of how a high quality contemporary solution can unlock the potential of a complex historic site.”
