Architecture Portfolio Competition

Latitude were selected as one of 6 finalists in the international design competition for a new Central Library and Cultural Centre in the historic coastal town of Dun Laoghaire in Ireland. Three monoliths, housing the distinct functions, rise from a ground floor that links all buildings and forms routes through the site.

Dun Laoghaire . Ireland

A design competition to enable Sevenoaks Nature Centre, a converted gravel pit, to become a vehicle for supporting people to connect with nature, wildlife and environmental issues and in so doing improve their own sense of wellbeing and vitality.
A low impact architecture and infrastructure touching the ground lightly was considered an appropriate response to context. Keeping the built mass to a single storey minimizing visual impact and allowing access for all. Integrating the Darenth Valley walking route through the site provides the opportunity for the visitor centre to become a fixture on the trail and a place for pause and enjoyment of the views and wildlife. At key points around the reserve further interventions allow activities for visitors to enjoy and be educated by the surroundings, or simply to sit quietly.

Latitude were been awarded first place in the international design competition for new student and staff accommodation. Set in the grounds of the picturesque St Donats Castle, with views over the Bristol Channel, the design reflects the international nature of the college whilst respecting the historical context. Four new student houses provide accommodation for 160 students, 4 assistant house parents and 4 houseparents and their families.

Atlantic College . Wales

An international competition to design a new form of Architecture centre to inspire and relate to the historical and contemporary city context. The design proposals mirror the many historical layers of Cordoba: the Moorish grid of 30 degrees, the geometry of Roman terraces and steps, and the Islamic geometry and decoration. The proposal minimises the buildings' reliance on energy and takes full advantage of climatic and environmental conditions.

Cordoba . Spain

A design competition to create a building which will form a major new public attraction in the centre of Skibbereen. A building that is clearly routed in the historical fabric of the town, but is also contemporary, relating to the artists and crafts people working now and in the future. The building enables the many activities required and facilitates the complete interaction of people and art in the town.
