Shortlist named for Prescot design competition

RIBA has announced the shortlist for the Market Place design competition in Prescot, Knowsley.

Launched in May, concepts were invited from architect or landscape architect–led teams to redesign the currently unused public open space as part of the Prescot Townscape Heritage Initiative.

Of the 45 entrants, five have been invited to work up their design proposals in more detail for the evaluation panel. They are:

  • Blackstaff Architects, Belfast
  • Charles Tashima Architecture, London
  • Mark Wray Architects, Bath
  • OMI Architects, Manchester
  • Periscope Studio, London

In early August, these more detailed designs will be displayed in a public exhibition, with the winner announced later that month. Work is expected to start in early 2018.
