Introduction<br />
In this stage of the <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Design <strong>Competition</strong>, shortlisted teams are<br />
asked to develop ideas and a concept design to address the requirements and issues<br />
outlined in this document. The church is looking for a team who understands and<br />
addresses their needs with breath-taking architecture.<br />
Following the competition the winning team will be expected to work with the church<br />
from May to November 2016 to develop their ideas into a full design proposal for the<br />
project. The emerging scheme will be tested vigorously with internal and external<br />
stakeholders (including statutory authorities) during this period.<br />
The agreed and consulted upon scheme will then form the basis of a Heritage Lottery<br />
Fund (HLF) application. The selected team will support and advise the church through<br />
this application process and, if successful, will be retained by the church to continue<br />
the project.<br />

Preface<br />
Congratulations!<br />
I am delighted that you have made it to the shortlist. I look forward to meeting the teams that<br />
you will bring, hearing about how you envisage the way forward for this marvellous church,<br />
and seeing your designs and concepts.<br />
I guess you may well have been through this competition process before, but it’s virgin<br />
territory for us! Indeed, the whole development scheme is something of a novelty for the<br />
people of <strong>Redcliffe</strong>. I think it’s fair to say that the vast majority of us are motivated about<br />
how things are unfolding: however, not surprisingly, there is some concern, some anxiety and<br />
(let’s be honest) some opposition to the notion of building around this iconic gothic gem.<br />
So the next phase of this process is as much about identifying who will work well with the<br />
people of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong>, as it is about who will produce breath-taking architecture. Ideally<br />
we want both! And that’s why you’ve been shortlisted. We believe you have the capacity to<br />
help us bring about what we need (in terms of built form) without alienating those for whom<br />
this feels like a step too far.<br />
This is one of the reasons why we are asking you to attend a Symposium on Tuesday 23 rd<br />
February, followed by a site visit on Tuesday 1 st March. The symposium will be addressed by<br />
(among others) Rt Rev Nick Holtam, who oversaw the development of <strong>St</strong> Martin in the Fields<br />
and Jon Cannon, who teaches on History of Art and Historical <strong>St</strong>udies at Bristol University<br />
and is in the process of completing a major study of our North Porch. The Symposium will be<br />
addressing the topic: <strong>Architecture</strong> for the contemporary church – imagining the new in the<br />
context of the old. We hope to build an informative and engaging opportunity for a broader<br />
audience as well as for you.<br />
I remain very enthusiastic about the competition and about all our development plans.<br />
<strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> really does need to take a bold step into the future. For that we need a<br />
team that appreciates who we are and what we’re trying to do, designs that delight and<br />
amaze, facilities that are fit for purpose, and costs that are reliable and reasonable!!!<br />
Good luck and I hope you enjoy the next part of the journey!<br />
Rev Dan Tyndall<br />
Vicar of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong><br />

Key Aims and Objectives<br />
• Find a team that will create beautiful architecture while, equally importantly, working<br />
well with the people of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong>.<br />
• Better integrate the church with its surroundings, bringing it back to the centre of<br />
community life, particularly within the developing ‘<strong>Redcliffe</strong> urban village’.<br />
• Create facilities which enable the church to expand its outreach and mission,<br />
encouraging the future development of the church by making the most of the areas<br />
around the church and the Church Centre site.<br />
• Enable <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> to flourish as a thriving Christian community, which is<br />
representative of the parish’s diverse social, economic and cultural make-up.<br />
• Preserve, enhance and celebrate the church’s rich historic past. As one of the finest<br />
parish churches in the country, <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> should be a welcoming heritage<br />
destination that continues to delight existing patrons while attracting new visitors<br />
through enhanced presentation of its heritage and an improved hospitality offer.<br />
• Ensure that the church is accessible to all, both physically and in terms of the<br />
opportunities that it offers.<br />
• Make the church a more functional, unified space.<br />
• Be environmentally conscious in design, materials and running, and encourage<br />
sustainability among staff, volunteers and visitors.<br />
• Increase the income generating opportunities within the church, enabling it to be a<br />
more financially sustainable institution.<br />
• Be at the centre of the <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Community and seamlessly related to <strong>Redcliffe</strong><br />
Neighbourhood Development Forum’s plans for <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way, which intends<br />
to create a fitting setting for <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> possibly through the creation of a new<br />
public stance.<br />

Wider Development Context<br />
<strong>Redcliffe</strong> has been the subject of redevelopment plans since the 1960s, and amenity<br />
societies have pressed for improvements to the neighbourhood since the 1970s. Many plans<br />
were drawn up, including a scheme developed by <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> in 1992, but none were<br />
built. The community-based <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Futures group worked with Bristol City Council in 2006<br />
to produce a planning document known as SPD3 – which remains the current official plan<br />
for the whole of the <strong>Redcliffe</strong> area – but <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way was omitted pending the resolution of<br />
transport-planning processes.<br />
While recognition of the need for change in <strong>Redcliffe</strong> is long-standing, it is only now, after a<br />
prolonged process of planning and negotiation, and the catalytic effect of the regeneration<br />
of neighbouring areas such as Harbourside, Queen Square and the Temple Quarter, and the<br />
new Enterprise Zone around Temple Meads <strong>St</strong>ation, that the people of <strong>Redcliffe</strong> can look<br />
forward, with expectation rather than hope, to a significant and perhaps transformational<br />
redevelopment. The <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Neighbourhood Forum (which was created in response to the<br />
2012 Localism Act) – building on the wealth of good work undertaken by organisations such<br />
as <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Futures – has recently produced a draft Neighbourhood Development Plan for<br />
the <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way area, which is the culmination of a sequence of activity stretching back<br />
over five years. During this time the Forum has embarked on an intensive programme of<br />
professional consultation, ideas development and discussion with the local community along<br />
with a range of other stakeholders.<br />
The plan anticipates the downsizing of <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way, the removal of the roundabout at its<br />
western limit, the construction of an urban village, and the creation of a new setting for<br />
<strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> at the heart of the development. As the main landowner in <strong>Redcliffe</strong>, Bristol<br />
City Council is working with <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Forum through a dedicated partnership known as the<br />
Joint Delivery Board. The partnership is currently seeking a development partner to help<br />
realise its plans for <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way.<br />
10
It is important to recognise that <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way occupies a key position and is increasingly<br />
significant, especially in the context of recent developments in the city centre. Bristol now has<br />
more visitors than Bath, and Harbourside, to the west of <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way, is now the city’s main<br />
visitor area. To the east, the area around Temple Meads is fast becoming the commercial<br />
heart of Bristol. With the redevelopment of the train station, the electrification of the main<br />
line to London and the creation of the Enterprise Zone – which will generate 17,000 jobs<br />
and be home to a new 12,000 seat arena – links in and around the city centre will become<br />
increasingly important.<br />
<strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> sits on the main east-west axis for public transport, cycling and walking<br />
from the Temple Meads area to the city centre and Harbourside, and is, therefore, very well<br />
placed for its future redevelopment.<br />
The Forum’s plans for <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way are intended to progress in close association with those<br />
of the church and a seamless redevelopment of both is envisaged.<br />
11
The <strong>Brief</strong><br />
The competition site<br />
To date, the church has conceived the competition as interlinked projects, taking place<br />
across sites. In summary these are:<br />
• Heritage and hospitality on sites immediately surrounding the church.<br />
• Community and office on the site currently occupied by <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Methodist Church<br />
and Church Centre.<br />
In conjunction with the above, teams should also consider how the church building itself can<br />
be de-cluttered, ensuring that it becomes primarily a focus for Christian worship while also<br />
being a legible and engaging destination for visitors.<br />
Connections between all these projects and project sites should be carefully considered<br />
within an overall masterplan approach to the competition area highlighted in the plan<br />
opposite.<br />
For an understanding of the site and its context please see Appendices D – U for detailed<br />
information on <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> and its surroundings. This includes a range of detailed<br />
conservation and technical assessments that teams should consider in the preparation of<br />
their design proposals.<br />
The immediate site context<br />
The church wishes to engage the teams’ creative and strategic thinking on the best and most<br />
efficient way of delivering all the requirements for the project within the available site areas.<br />
The shaded areas on the site plan outside of the ownership boundary – on the north side<br />
of the church and between the church and the Church Centre (not including Pump Lane) -<br />
indicate land that is the subject of on-going discussions with third-party organisations, such<br />
as <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Forum and Bristol Council. While the church does not yet know whether this<br />
land will be useable as part of the project, teams are encouraged to develop proposals which<br />
outline innovative uses for these areas.<br />

The church<br />
The church building’s primary focus is Christian worship, but also serves as a most<br />
impressive heritage destination. To serve this purpose it contains a small shop space<br />
and a staffed information point. It also contains areas of storage, including a general<br />
storage space and chair storage space. These open storage areas detract from the overall<br />
enjoyment and use of the church building.<br />
<strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> contains many impressive ancient and modern treasures and art pieces<br />
which are either currently unable to be on display or are displayed in an uncoordinated and<br />
piecemeal fashion.<br />
The church does not have a traditional crypt space. However, underneath the North Transept<br />
is a partial lower level space (currently occupied by the Choir Vestry), rehearsal space and<br />
storage space. Above part of this space are the Vestry and the Verger’s Vestry. Below the<br />
Lady Chapel, at the east end of the building, are a strongroom and the Processional Way: an<br />
open-arched arcade with access to the church above.<br />

15
The North Area<br />
The north of the church provides its primary contemporary entrance, up a mid-20 th century<br />
flight of steps, onto a podium and then through to the North Porch, of which the Inner Porch<br />
is the oldest remaining part of the church. Below this podium, created during the 1940s, is<br />
the Arc Café and toilet facilities for the church. This area can only be accessed via a narrow<br />
staircase.<br />
The remainder of the area to the north of church building is laid out in soft landscaping<br />
(lawn) bisected by pathways. To the east end lies an area of hard-standing with the main<br />
church building plant room below and a small staff parking area adjacent to the Processional<br />
Way. This area was added to the church site in the late 1940s following the planning and<br />
implementation of <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way.<br />
This area provides a potential site for at least some of the requirements of the <strong>Brief</strong>.<br />
However, teams should also note that this area provides the key interface with the potential<br />
developments proposed within the <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Neighbourhood Development Plan (RNDP) and<br />
whilst the church ownership boundary is clear there may be opportunities for some land<br />
swap with the City Council if this is to achieve the best development outcome for all parties.<br />
The aim of the RNDP is that <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way becomes a new heart for the community,<br />
reuniting north and south <strong>Redcliffe</strong>. It will provide a lively mixed-use city neighbourhood,<br />
which has both a grand boulevard and an impressive setting for <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong>, but also<br />
combined with more intimate streets and spaces alongside. A new public space in front<br />
of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> is envisioned as the heart of the community. It will be a place that is<br />
people-friendly, creating a public realm that encourages congregation and exchange, as well<br />
as being the best place for family living in Bristol.<br />
Teams will be expected to work alongside the Forum’s plans by responding to and informing<br />
the development of <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way. The church and the Forum would like to see a seamless<br />
link between the two projects.<br />

The South Churchyard<br />
A secondary entrance to the church building lies within the South Churchyard. This area is<br />
historically significant, lies five metres higher than the street level on the north of the church,<br />
and has remained largely untouched in layout over the centuries. Today the Churchyard is<br />
an important local amenity space, used extensively by the local community as a park-like<br />
relaxation space — especially when the weather is good.<br />
While acknowledging its historical significance, the church believes there is potential for<br />
development within the South Churchyard, in particular along its eastern boundary with<br />
Pump Lane. However, teams should be aware that in the late 19 th century, a tunnel was dug<br />
under the South Churchyard as a rail link to the wharves along the Floating Harbour. The rail<br />
infrastructure is long since gone but the tunnel, now under private ownership, remains.<br />
The south-west corner of the Churchyard houses the present-day outfall of the historic<br />
pipe gifted to the church in the 12 th century, having originally emerged underneath the<br />
balustrades to the east of the Church Tower. This gift, from the Lord of the Manor of<br />
Bedminster, Sir Robert de Berkley, provided the first supply of clean, fresh water to the<br />
parish.<br />
The pipeline begins at a spring two miles from <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong>, continuing through Lower<br />
Knowle and Bedminster towards <strong>Redcliffe</strong>. The Priest, Churchwardens and people of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong><br />
<strong>Redcliffe</strong> maintain an annual tradition of walking the route and inspecting the pipe. Teams<br />
are encouraged to develop ideas for re-presenting and raising awareness of the pipe and<br />
its history as part of the project. Further information about the Pipe Walk can be found in<br />
Appendix U.<br />

The West End<br />
The public realm to the West End of the church building has also been much changed over<br />
the past century. The widening of Redcliff Hill altered street patterns and pavement grades,<br />
and removed the dense and tightly-knit urban form that had existing in this area over many<br />
years. Traditionally the West Door was the main entrance to the church, but this use and its<br />
legibility has disappeared in line with the wider changes mentioned above. The space was<br />
originally framed to the south by the Chapel of the Holy Spirit which then became a school<br />
before being demolished in 18 th century. A large oak tree now stands in the space, marking<br />
the position of the church’s garden of remembrance.<br />
The intended removal of the roundabout on <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Way may create an opportunity to<br />
extend the site on its north-west corner – as indicated by the shading outside the ownership<br />
boundary on the site plan.<br />
The church, taking advantage of the potential area-wide changes proposed within the RNDP,<br />
is keen to re-establish the significance of the West End of the church, as both an entrance<br />
and public realm. Teams should consider this in the development of their proposals.<br />

<strong>Redcliffe</strong> Methodist Church and Church Centre<br />
The Church Centre site is very much located ‘in’ the <strong>Redcliffe</strong> community. The building is<br />
bordered by Prewett <strong>St</strong>reet to the south, and beyond this lies much of the housing areas of<br />
<strong>Redcliffe</strong> that make up the Lawrence Hill Ward. A good pedestrian connection is provided<br />
between the main church site and the hall via a path along the South Churchyard to the<br />
eastern end of Colston Parade and then along a pedestrian way, running north-west to<br />
south-east connecting Colston Parade with Prewett <strong>St</strong>reet.<br />
The Church Centre sits inefficiently within the middle of its site, taking up a large site area<br />
and surrounded by poor quality public realm and car parking. The current building does not<br />
make the most of the potential footprint and density that is possible on the site and, as a<br />
consequence, does not create a strong or legible edge to the street. The existing building is<br />
deemed to have little or no architectural significance, and teams are encouraged to consider<br />
how to maximise density and urbanise this site. Improvements to the surrounding public<br />
realm should also be considered. The existing accommodation uses of the site are to be<br />
retained.<br />

The requirements<br />
The <strong>Brief</strong> for the project is set out in the below text description and accompanying area<br />
schedule.<br />
The description is set out thematically; the area schedule is grouped into space type, with<br />
some crossover between the two.<br />
In spatial arrangement terms, teams are to consider which of these facilities should be<br />
located within the church building and which can be taken out of the church building and<br />
relocated in a new building(s). This new building, or buildings, can be located anywhere<br />
within the shaded area, including on the Methodist Church Centre site on Prewett <strong>St</strong>reet.<br />
Information provided in the Expression of Interest in the form of the outline <strong>Brief</strong> remains<br />
relevant at this stage. Technical requirements of the <strong>Brief</strong> are outlined at the end of this<br />
section.<br />
Community<br />
Create new community-focused facilities that will enable <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> to become a more<br />
effective parish church meeting some of the needs of the people that live in the area and<br />
across the city.<br />
This is the least developed element of the project <strong>Brief</strong>, however, the church has<br />
commissioned ERS Research & Consultancy to carry out a feasibility study into local<br />
community needs. The study, which is due to be completed in January 2016, will look into<br />
what already exists in terms of local provision of amenities, what local people feel <strong>Redcliffe</strong><br />
lacks in terms of facilities, and what they would like to see to help improve the area. ERS’<br />
findings will inform decision-making about which community-facing facilities should be<br />
included in the church’s development project.<br />
The area schedule below (on page 30) outlines the types of facilities the church has already<br />
considered, provided as guidance only. The church is keen to hear ideas and proposals from<br />
teams that will ensure that this facility, and the amenities it contains, remains relevant for<br />
many years to come. Flexibility and adaptability of these spaces, along with their spatial<br />
adjacencies and space planning, is important and should be clearly articulated in your<br />
design proposal. Some co-ordination with the <strong>Redcliffe</strong> Neighbourhood Development Forum<br />
is likely to be required when developing proposals for the community-facing aspects of the<br />
project.<br />
24
Church life<br />
Ensure a variety of appropriate spaces to support the full range of church activities,<br />
occasions and events. These spaces, both front and back-of-house, include:<br />
• A range of meeting rooms, from small private and safe spaces for two to four<br />
people to highly flexible spaces for 20 – 40 people to accommodate a range of<br />
users, including external community groups, internal church organisations and<br />
external income-generating groups such as local businesses.<br />
• A hall for 150 people, able to accommodate flexible spatial arrangements, and<br />
with either direct access to, or dedicated, kitchen facilities. This should be<br />
suitable for hosting events such as wedding receptions;<br />
• Dedicated and appropriately designed and appointed rehearsal space for the<br />
church and other community choirs, to include relevant support space with<br />
dedicated storage and robing area for the choirs;<br />
• Appropriate and dedicated working spaces for a range of church activities<br />
including, but not limited to, clergy robing, flower arranging and a facility for the<br />
care and storage of vestments; and<br />
• Ceremonial vehicular access to church – for large events such as Rush Sunday<br />
(where the Lord Mayor’s coach is used) and more generally for weddings and<br />
funerals.<br />
All spaces should be well and appropriately equipped, highly functional and flexible, whilst<br />
respecting the significance of the heritage of the church and its context.<br />
Heritage<br />
The church has recently commissioned a Heritage Activity Plan which will inform thinking<br />
about the ways in which the experience of heritage in <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> can be improved.<br />
This document will help the church to develop an engaging and complete heritage<br />
experience, which will include:<br />
• A dedicated exhibition space for church treasures, other heritage items, and<br />
art and cultural exhibitions which, if located within the main church building,<br />
does not detract from the use of the church for its primary purpose to support<br />
Christian worship;<br />
• Comprehensive and contemporary interpretation throughout the heritage<br />
destination, which can be self-guided and intuitive to use and follow.<br />
• Enhanced access to as many areas of the church as possible, to improve the<br />
25
public experience of the building to generate income. These areas could include<br />
the following:<br />
- The Roof<br />
- The Chatterton Room<br />
- The Easter Vestry<br />
- The Armoire<br />
- The Bell Chamber and Ringing Room<br />
- Canynges kitchen<br />
Hospitality<br />
Improve the church’s hospitality offer and amenities, including:<br />
• A café/restaurant that is well-designed, highly visible and has the ability to<br />
spill out into an external area when possible. The church currently lets<br />
the Undercroft to the Addiction Recovery Agency, which owns the Arc Café and<br />
employs recovering addicts to work in the café team. This key relationship<br />
is important to the church, as it fulfils part of the church’s mission focus.<br />
The project needs, therefore, to ensure that the Arc Café is included in plans to<br />
develop the church’s hospitality offer.<br />
• Contemporary and fit-for-purpose kitchen facilities, to support the café/restaurant<br />
and also to facilitate catered events. Teams could also consider the potential of<br />
being able to set up temporary/mobile satellite facilities within the church building<br />
to support these events.<br />
• An appropriately located, designed and sized retail outlet, in keeping with the<br />
significance of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> as a significant heritage visitor destination.<br />
• Provision of sufficient toilets and other visitor amenities, such as baby changing<br />
and cloakrooms, which can seamlessly accommodate gatherings within the<br />
church of up to 1,000 people.<br />
Thought should be given to where these amenities are placed to attract passing trade and<br />
maximise income generation.<br />
26
Accessibility<br />
Ensure an equitable experience to all visitors and users of the church, regardless of ability, by<br />
providing the following:<br />
• A lift, lifts or step-free access between different levels, spaces and floors where<br />
possible (both internally within buildings and externally within the public realm of<br />
the church);<br />
• Appropriate levels of accessible signage, wayfinding and interpretation<br />
throughout, including the use of different languages, braille, IT and audio-visual<br />
media;<br />
• An appropriate provision of accessible facilities, such as toilets, for a project of<br />
this scale and ambition; and<br />
• Investigate the potential of providing some accessible parking spaces within the<br />
site boundary.<br />
Transport<br />
Parking is an emotive subject. The church wishes to encourage most of its visitors,<br />
congregation and staff to use sustainable modes of personal or public transport. However<br />
some will always need to travel by car, particularly the disabled and some elderly people.<br />
Teams should consider an appropriate location within the site boundary to provide a limited<br />
number of staff, contractor and accessible parking spaces. Other transport provisions<br />
include:<br />
• Suitable drop-off points for coaches;<br />
• Ample bike storage, covered and out of the weather; and<br />
• Suitable charging points for electric cars and bikes.<br />
27
<strong>St</strong>aff<br />
The following administrative, operational and support spaces should be provided (please<br />
read in conjunction with the area schedule on page 30):<br />
• Well-designed and lit offices and/or desk spaces, allowing for the work of specific<br />
groups but also including some ‘hot-desking’ workstations;<br />
• A comfortable and secure staff room for up to 15 people with dedicated<br />
kitchenette facilities;<br />
• Dedicated staff support facilities, including kitchenette, print room and toilets;<br />
• A small gymnasium and lockers and shower facilities, appropriate in scale to the<br />
church workforce to encourage healthy lifestyles and travel to work regimes;<br />
• A range of storage facilities, including specialist archive storage with appropriate<br />
levels of environmental control to meet all the operational needs of the church<br />
(including well-sited and ventilated refuse storage); and<br />
• A secure external yard and small workshop, including ‘welfare facilities’ for use by<br />
in-house staff and external contractors alike.<br />
Teams should consider efficiency, flexibility and adaptability in their design proposals for the<br />
staff accommodation. The latest IT and communications technology, all coordinated and<br />
compatible, should be seamlessly provided throughout the design.<br />
Financial sustainability<br />
As well as creating attractive and practical new facilities, which complement the current<br />
building and allow the church to develop, the project needs to help ensure that the church<br />
maximises income-generating streams to make sure that the church is in a position to<br />
become a financially sustainable organisation.<br />
• Ensure that retail and hospitality facilities are accessible and easily discoverable<br />
by visitors, the local community and passers by;<br />
• Provide spaces which can be used commercially, for example through room and<br />
conference hire.<br />
28
Public Realm<br />
The church has a variety of open spaces, including ‘open public’, ‘private open’ and ‘private’<br />
space. ‘Open public’ refers to the public realm surrounding the church (e.g. pavements,<br />
roadways, etc.) The following are ‘private open’ spaces within the church’s ownership<br />
boundary:<br />
• The open area on the north side of the church;<br />
• The area around the western end of the church;<br />
• The South Churchyard;<br />
• The eastern entrance to the Churchyard; and<br />
• The Processional Way to the east of the church.<br />
One of the aims of the project is to find creative ways of enabling interaction between these<br />
spaces. The church would also like to stress the importance of design in the treatment of<br />
public, semi-public and private external spaces.<br />
Technical Requirements<br />
Competitors should consider the following technical requirements in the development of their<br />
design proposals:<br />
• Passive technological solutions first, when and where appropriate;<br />
• Environmental sustainability, including investigating the potential of renewable<br />
sources of energy where appropriate;<br />
• Maximise energy efficiency and minimise running costs;<br />
• Minimise waste, in both construction and building use;<br />
• Choice of materials and equipment that are durable, minimise waste, easy to<br />
clean and maintain and, when required, easy to replace;<br />
• Ensure acoustics are appropriate and clearly audible throughout the design,<br />
particularly in the key public spaces and, most importantly, within the choir<br />
rehearsal space;<br />
• Use lighting and other appropriate technologies to make the whole site safe and<br />
pleasant, and to make the most of the church as a heritage asset; and<br />
• IT and communications technology, including AV provision to some key spaces<br />
– including, but not limited to, the new hall space – should be integrated<br />
throughout.<br />
29
Area Schedule<br />
The area schedule below has been prepared by the church and their advisers. Teams should<br />
use this for guidance only. It represents a list of activities currently undertaken by the church<br />
and the aspirations the church has for its future ministry. Any design concepts for the Church<br />
Centre site should bear in mind current uses of that facility which may not be listed below.<br />

Assessment Breakdown<br />
The tender submissions will be scored on the two ‘quality’ aspects of the submission: design<br />
boards and narrative report, as well as the fee and cost proposals.<br />
The interviews will be used to present the teams design concepts and to clarify aspects<br />
of the submission. There is no score assigned to performance at interview, and no new<br />
information should be presented.<br />
45
<strong>Tender</strong> submissions will be assessed on the Most Economically Advantageous <strong>Tender</strong> (MEAT)<br />
which accounts for both quality and fee as defined in the criteria below.<br />
Quality (80%):<br />
- Design proposal (including approach to setting, place-making and context; balance<br />
of conservation and modern intervention; design and museum operations; the<br />
architectural quality of the design, both inside and out).<br />
30% weighting<br />
- Construction methodology and building performance (including environmental and<br />
design performance, sustainability, materiality, phasing and construction logistics,<br />
and maintenance and use in occupation)<br />
20% weighting<br />
- How the Team will work with <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> (including key individuals proposed;<br />
approach to HLF funding applications; approach to planning and consultation; and<br />
project, cost and programme management, including identification of risk and risk<br />
mitigation)<br />
30% weighting<br />
Cost Proposal (20%)<br />
Fee tenders will be determined on the provision of all consultant services necessary to carry<br />
out and complete the commission described in the <strong>Tender</strong> <strong>Brief</strong> and as required by the forms<br />
of contract.<br />
