Email: competitions@riai.ie
In the Housing for All policy document the Government committed to promoting a ‘Town Centre First’ approach to development in towns. The Town Centre First policy aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and for leisure, to promote increased residential use in our rural towns and villages, consistent with the objectives of the National Planning Framework, and Climate Action Plan. These Town Centre Living competitions seek to encourage innovative design solutions for social housing within town centres. Following engagement with Local Authorities, the Department of Housing Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) has selected four town centre sites in Castleblayney Co. Monaghan, Kildare, Co. Kildare, Roscrea Co. Tipperary, and Sligo, Co. Sligo.
On behalf of the DHLGH and Local Authorities, the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) is running four separate competitions for these towns concurrently. It is intended that the winning practices will be awarded the design commission and the selected sites would be progressed as real social housing projects by the various local authorities (LAs), (or Approved Housing Body on behalf of the LA) who will appoint the winning design team to progress the proposal to construction and delivery, funded by DHLGH. Further details regarding competition entry are set out in the competition regulations available from www.riai.ie
The competition is intended to generate design innovation in town centre housing and in order to promote diversity in the response and award of contacts, each entrant (i.e. Architect/Practice) may submit entries for a maximum of any two of the four competition sites. No more than two contracts will be awarded to an architect and/or practice as an outcome of the competition.
This notice relates to the design competition for development of social housing at a site at Station Road, Kildare town, Co. Kildare.
