The Davidson Prize 2022 Longlist Revealed: Imaginative ideas from multi-disciplinary teams rethink how we could live
The Davidson Prize 2022
Co-Living in the Countryside by Charles Holland Architects, Quality of Life Foundation, Verity-Jane Keefe and Joseph Zeal-Henry, one of the longlisted submissions of the 2022 Davidson Prize
In a year of strong submissions, the judges of the 2022 Davidson Prize have selected a longlist of 14 teams. Responding to this year’s theme of Co-Living – A New Future, the longlisted teams represent diverse and exciting collaborative approaches to transforming the architecture of the home.
The Davidson Prize is a design ideas and communication prize established in 2021 in memory of architectural visualisation pioneer Alan Davidson. Following the success of the inaugural Prize last year, in 2022 teams made up of architects working collaboratively with other disciplines were asked to consider whether current notions of home in the UK are keeping step with the 21st century.
The demands being placed on the spaces we live in are perhaps more complex than ever before – and there has probably never been a better opportunity for design that rethinks our models of home while transforming lives and safeguarding the environment. Challenges addressed by the teams in 2022 include growing numbers of single-person and single-parent households, the shortage of homes, and a loneliness epidemic that the British Red Cross has reported is affecting up to 9 million people in the UK.
The longlisted teams offer clearly communicated creative design approaches for rural and urban locations. A unifying theme emerging across the submissions was one of care – from the care of ageing populations, children and marginalised groups to safeguarding the world’s resources of energy and embodied carbon. Exciting ideas range from new ways of embedding supportive social networks in cities and towns to new models of multi-generational living and innovative retrofit solutions

Chair of the The Davidson Prize jury, Paul Monaghan said: ‘The calibre of submissions for this year’s prize was really impressive and it was interesting to see how people’s approaches to co-living may have changed in the aftermath of the pandemic. Although there are similarities in many of the submissions, each of the 14 longlisted teams put forward an innovative solution to this year’s theme – we’ve got a tough job ahead of us now to agree on the three finalists.’
Marie Chamillard, Director of the Alan Davidson Foundation, said: “There wasn’t a single bad submission, nothing to discard outright. Each submission raised great discussions amongst the judges. I’m impressed with how the teams have expressed their ideas both with strong written statements and varied and interesting visuals. It really makes me want to see more.”
Thanks to the generous support of VitrA Bathrooms, the judging sessions for the 2022 Davidson Prize are hosted at the VitrA London Design Hub on Turnmill Street, Clerkenwell. At the next judging stage in the design ideas competition, The Davidson Prize jury will shortlist three finalists who will receive £5000 to develop their design ideas to present a two-minute visual media presentation to the panel. The 2022 panel comprises multi-disciplinary artist Yinka Ilori (Yinka Ilori Studio), journalist Amy Frearson (Dezeen Editor-at-Large), educator and curator Manijeh Verghese (The Architectural Association and Unscene Architecture), and architects Paul Monaghan (Allford Hall Monaghan Morris), Mary Duggan (Mary Duggan Architects) and Agnieszka Glowacka (Haptic Architects). The winner of the £10,000 Davidson Prize will be announced during a live event in June 2022.
This year, The Davidson Prize will also be running a People’s Choice Award which is sponsored by VitrA Bathrooms. The public is invited to vote for its favourite project from the 2022 longlist. The project with the most votes will be awarded with the People’s Choice Award at the ceremony in June. You can vote for your favourite entry via https://bit.ly/TDP22 until 06 April 2022.

Alan Davidson Foundation
Alan Davidson was an architect and visualiser. His passions lay in storytelling, communicating and bringing to life architects’ visions for audiences including the wider public. Best known for pioneering architectural visualisation, he founded the world-leading visualisation studio Hayes Davidson in London in 1989. In 2012 Alan was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and sadly lost his battle against the disease in 2018.
Alan set up the Foundation a few years after his diagnosis with a view to helping others also afflicted by MND and to support collaboration in architecture, visualisation and design. A final wish was that his Foundation initiate a yearly architecture and communication prize. The dual purpose of the prize is to promote people-focused approaches to architecture and to celebrate innovative communication, visualisation, technology and art.

Liverpool loses Unesco World Heritage status
Liverpool stripped of UNESCO World Heritage status
Liverpool has been stripped of its World Heritage status after a UN committee found developments threatened the value of the city’s waterfront, reports the BBC News. The decision was made following a secret ballot by the UNESCO committee at a meeting in China.
UNESCO had said that the developments, including the planned new Everton FC stadium, had resulted in a “serious deterioration” of the historic site. The decision was described as “incomprehensible” by the city’s mayor.
“Our World Heritage site has never been in better condition having benefitted from hundreds of millions of pounds of investment across dozens of listed buildings and the public realm,” Joanne Anderson said. The decision comes a decade after UNESCO last visited the city to assess building developments in the city centre.
Liverpool becomes only the third site to lose its World Heritage status since the list began in 1978. The other two were Oman’s Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in 2007 and the Dresden Elbe Valley in Germany in 2009.
A total of 20 votes were cast with 13 in favour of deleting the city, 5 against the proposal and 2 ballot papers being invalid.

ELEMENT – The Quarter is the first eco-development in Liverpool and the first project under the ELEMENT brand. Made up of a mixture of unit types, this development ideally targets both young professional and postgraduate renters living, working, and studying in Liverpool. The project will extend across approximately 1.68 acres and occupy a prominent spot in the city.
The Quarter will consist of spacious layouts, avant-garde designs and stylish fixtures and fittings, and as the UK’s first eco-living concept, Element developments promote a new eco-friendly way of living, incorporating sophisticated low-carbon smart technology to keep a focus on sustainability.
The low carbon concept features eco-lighting, eco-heaters, solar panels, strict recycling policies, and even the ability to collect rainwater to aid in plumbing. With Liverpool property prices expected to rise significantly over the coming years, property investment company RWinvest is excited to be part of this fantastic development before prices grow.

Groundbreaking construction hub launched to build future workforce News
The City of Liverpool College has been awarded £500,000 by the Government’s Construction Skills Fund to create Liverpool’s first on-site ‘Construction Hub’, which will bridge the gap between skills training and employment in the construction industry.
The college will be working in partnership with Liverpool Waters, Peel Land and Property’s £5 billion waterfront development scheme, to bring the hub to the currently disused Collingwood Dock.
The Liverpool Waters project includes the development of numerous residential, commercial and leisure facilities across five distinct neighbourhoods, starting at Princes Dock and travelling north to Northern Docks.
With the creation of 9,000 homes, 315,000 sqm of business space, a Cruise Liner Terminal, an Isle of Man Ferry Terminal and an accompanying hotel, the demand for skilled construction workers in Liverpool will be greater than ever.
By working together, The City of Liverpool College and Liverpool Waters will cater to this demand by providing unemployed adults and young people not in education or training (NEET) with work ready skills to enter jobs within Liverpool’s growing construction industry.
Work is now underway to create the portable facility at Collingwood Dock, part of the Liverpool Waters site, which will consist of three separate areas, two of which will be used for teaching space, with the third used for welfare and office space. In addition, the hub will provide the opportunity for college students to receive practical, work ready site-specific training in a real construction site environment.
The Hub will be open to unemployed people and young people who are NEET seeking a job in construction. The project will also provide taster opportunities to people in declining industries and in under-represented groups in the sector to promote construction as a career option.
Learners will have access to skills training to make them work ready for the construction industry. This includes access to site ready training, CSCS cards and ACS Gas Accreditation. The Hub will also provide a gateway to construction qualifications and at all levels and apprenticeships up to degree level.
Employers working with the Hub will have direct access to the college’s extensive work ready and motivated talent pool to support their recruitment needs.

Partnership between Liverpool Waters and The City of Liverpool College
Liverpool Waters, the £5 billion regeneration project, and the city region’s biggest college, The City of Liverpool College have announced a partnership that will provide local students with apprenticeship opportunities on the project’s various developments.
Liverpool Waters which is owned and managed by Peel Land and Property, will regenerate over 60 hectares of Liverpool’s dockland, which spans over 2.3 kilometres of waterfront, starting at Princes Dock and heading towards North Liverpool.
With multiple developments already taking shape, including the residential apartment buildings Plaza 1821 and The Lexington at Princes Dock, as well as international developer Romal Capital’s Quay Central at Central Docks, the demand for skilled apprentices is increasing at a rapid rate.
By forming this partnership, Liverpool Waters’ development partners will have access to The City of Liverpool College’s skilled apprentices, who will in turn benefit from working on one of the biggest regeneration projects in Europe.

Liverpool Waterfront Regeneration Event
Professionals gather in Liverpool to discuss waterfront regeneration
Built environment professionals gathered at RIBA North in Liverpool for an event focused on the regeneration of waterfront environments through urban and landscape design.
Part of the Albert Dock InterPro175 lecture series, and organised on its behalf by Landscape Institute and Urban Design Group, speakers were Pete Swift – partner, landscape architect and urban designer at Planit-IE; Ben Palmer – director and landscape architect at Optimised Environments (OPEN); Peter Siöström – programme director at Sustainable Urban Design Master Program, Lund University, Sweden; and Ashwin Karjatkar – part of the design team at Municipality of Gothenburg. Executive director at Turley and visiting professor at Liverpool University, Stephen Gleave, acted as chair for the event.
InterPro175 seeks to celebrate Albert Dock as an exemplary heritage-led regeneration project, acknowledge the range of built environment professionals involved in its continuing success, look to the future and the lessons learnt, and examine a range of comparison projects.
The latest event was the fourth in the series so far, part of Albert Dock 175 – a robust strategy that will assert the Dock’s position as a world-class, leisure destination, counting up to a year of celebration in 2021 – 175 years since the Dock was officially opened by Prince Albert.
Sue Grindrod, chief executive of Gower Street Estates, freeholders of Albert Dock, said:
“The InterPro175 lecture series was set up to examine the regeneration of Albert Dock and highlight the significant impact it continues to have on the wider city region and internationally. It remains an important element of Albert Dock 175, never more so now as we enter a new and exciting chapter in the Dock’s life where serious investment will dramatically transform the infrastructure of the Dock making it fit for the visitors of tomorrow.
“It is wonderful to see the series go from strength to strength, attracting the finest speakers from the built environment, and influencing debate and discussion around waterfront planning and regeneration.
“A special thank you must go to our curators for this particular lecture – Landscape Institute and Urban Design Group – and all our partners for their continued support for the series.”
Spokesperson for Urban Design Group NW, said:
“The UDG NW are really pleased to be involved in the InterPro175 lecture series, celebrating the life and regeneration success of Albert Dock and exploring the role that responsive place-making had to play in its success.
“The role of landscape architecture and urbanist place-making cannot be underestimated in its level of contribution to the successful regeneration of Albert Dock. It was fantastic to hear from the designers who had worked on the Dock’s public realm and how their passion and vision helped to create an internationally renowned visitor destination. The comparisons and insights from our speakers, both from the UK and Europe brought to light the significant challenges that waterfront dockland regeneration can bring and how they can be overcome. We’re delighted to be able to compare the success of the Albert Dock regeneration against some of the leading dockland regeneration projects across Europe.
“We would like to extend a special thank you to our sponsors Optimised Environments and Vestre who kindly supported the event and we’re looking forward to discovering the next interesting piece of the story of Albert Dock’s successful revival journey.”
At the event, Pete Swift gave a fascinating talk focused on Planit-IE’s ambitious masterplan for Albert Dock, which sets out a vision which will revitalise the historic landmark through new public realm proposals and the creation of a new, gateway into the Dock, and improve the overall visitor experience.
Ben Palmer frequently leads OPEN teams, collaborating on a variety of projects including Manchester Museum, the £11m Foster + Partners Quartermile Masterplan in Edinburgh, and most recently acted as the project director on the V&A Museum of Design Dundee public realm. Ben discussed the regeneration of the Dundee waterfront, place-making and the technical challenges they encountered, as well as drawing out potential comparisons with the regeneration of Albert Dock.
Peter Siöström shared with the audience his expertise and interest in sustainable environments, and how Albert Dock can learn from other successful waterfront regeneration projects in Scandinavia – namely Western Harbour, Malmo, and North Harbour, Copenhagen.
Ashwin Karjatkar’s is currently working on the largest urban development project in Scandinavia – RiverCity Gothenburg. Ashwin’s presentation explored the redevelopment of Frihamnen, a former working dockland area of Gothenburg, that will become a new city district and a test arena for various design alternatives including ambitious social, environmental and traffic strategies.

Strand Plaza Development
Planning granted for Liverpool waterfront super-apartments
Conditional planning permission has been granted for a two-storey rooftop extension to Strand Plaza, the luxury apartment development on Liverpool waterfront.
Councillors at Tuesday’s planning committee voted unanimously to extend the total number of apartments from 123 to 135 with the additional 8 apartments housed in a two-storey rooftop extension, and a further upper ground floor extension on Moor Street providing an additional three apartments. This takes planning permission for Strand Plaza to a total of 135 apartments.
The existing concrete parapet will be replaced with a ninth storey, increasing the building’s height by 1.8 metres. This will consist of six apartments, each with two bedrooms.
A further lightweight storey will be constructed to form the tenth floor, which will house two luxury penthouses, dubbed “super-apartments”, each with outdoor terraces, and a square footage of 2153Ft2 and 2203Ft2 respectively. One of the penthouses has already been bought for £1.25m.
This top level will be set back from the current edges of the building to avoid overlooking or overshadowing nearby properties, affording privacy to both residents and neighbours. It was decided in the planning meeting that this “would not have a significantly greater impact on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage site, the Castle Street Conservation Area, or the Grade II* listed Albion House.”
With an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of £28 million, Strand Plaza will be comprised of luxury studios alongside one and two-bedroom apartments, and will encompass views of the famous Three Graces: the Liver Building, the Port of Liverpool Building and the Cunard Building.
Primesite Developments, the Liverpool-based company behind Strand Plaza, expect building to be completed in Summer 2018. The development is one of the most sought-after in the city with half of the apartments already sold ahead of completion.
Bobbie Johnson, sales director at Primesite Developments, commented: “This latest planning decision is great news not only for Strand Plaza itself, but also for Liverpool waterfront. The UNESCO site is iconic, yet the eyesore building has stood empty for years – we’re proud to be transforming it into some of the highest quality apartments in Liverpool. It is particularly challenging to develop sites of enormous significance, but when done sensitively and considerately, it becomes an asset to the surroundings.”
He adds: “We believe that Liverpool is entering the next phase of luxury homes for the area, spurred on by the progression of these first super-apartments in the City. Just as important however are the first-time buyers with equally high standards and expectations. Strand Plaza provides for these also, with studios from £99,000. It is a new era for the quality of residential properties and we aim to exceed the high expectations of future residents, showcase the best views of the city, and most importantly turn a literal waste of space into something that brings huge investment and boosts regeneration in our hometown.”
Primesite purchased the disused former Ministry of Defence building in January 2017, with works rapidly taking place over the year. The ground floor show apartment and reception were recently completed and are open for public viewing by appointment.
Strand Plaza is in close proximity to many of the city’s amenities and attractions, including Liverpool One (0.2 miles) Albert Dock (0.3 miles), Baltic Triangle (0.4 miles) as well as easily accessible transport links in and out of the City Centre.
Conditional planning permission was granted at Liverpool City Council’s Planning committee on Tuesday 19th December 2017.

Primesite has an extensive portfolio in development projects, from city centres to leafy suburbs.

Major Conference on Dementia-inclusive Design
A landmark national conference in Liverpool will explore how the design of buildings, places and spaces can exclude people with dementia.
As well as affecting the memory, dementia causes problems with how colours, patterns and textures appear so that people with the condition can have difficulties making sense of their surroundings. Better design can help make the environment less frightening and dangerous.
Doing Dementia Design will promote solutions to remove barriers to living well with dementia. The two day conference starting on Thursday 14th September 2017 is taking place at Liverpool John Moores University’s John Lennon Art and Design Building.
Architects, developers, housing and care professionals, academics, students and local government officers will hear from a wide range of expert speakers and they will work together to produce ideas and proposals for improvements to the way places are designed.
Topics include research into home design, creating dementia-friendly neighbourhoods, government and council policies, latest technological innovations and implications for the arts and business.
People living with dementia and their family carers will play an important part in the programme, relating their own experiences of hazardous and dangerous situations.
A spokesman for organisers Liverpool Dementia Action Alliance said “This conference will be a challenge and an opportunity for everyone involved in decisions about the design of the built environment and how they affect people living with dementia. We hope it will play a major part in bringing about real change.”
Liverpool John Moores University are hosting and supporting the event, at the John Lennon Art and Design Building on 14/15 September.
Other sponsors include Alzheimer’s Society, Kier Construction and Mersey Care NHS Trust.

Liverpool UNESCO Status at Risk
Liverpool UNESCO Status Final Warning
‘Final warning’: Liverpool’s UNESCO status at risk over docks scheme
This is the final warning shot,” says Henrietta Billings, director of the campaign group Save Britain’s Heritage, reports The Guardian. She’s talking about Liverpool and the oversized buildings that are threatening to do a lot more damage to the city than just clog up its waterfront. “Losing world heritage status because of crass planning decisions would be an international embarrassment, as well as a hugely costly mistake.”
Henrietta Billings wants the city planners of Liverpool to heed the warnings of UNESCO who have threatened to remove the city from its coveted list of world heritage sites unless it reconsiders the regeneration plans for its historic docks.
In it strongest warning to date, the international watchdog has announced that this could happen as early as 2018. If the site is struck off, it will only be the second such deletion in UNESCO’s history.
The Liverpool Waters Development is singled out as the main culprit.
Billings identifies a trio of buildings as the principal “crass planning decision”. The Guardian’s architecture critic, Oliver Wainwright, describes them as “resembling a row of gaudy crystal ornaments”.
The developers, Peel Group, advise that Shanghai was the model – notably the skyscrapers of Pudong. They were also inspired by Vancouver and Hong Kong.

New Bird Street and St Michaels II
Design: Tim Groom Architects
Tim Groom Architects receives planning for two apartment schemes in Baltic Triangle and Ropewalks, Liverpool
On 28 March 2017 Manchester-based architecture practice, Tim Groom Architects received planning approval from Liverpool City Council for two, separate residential schemes for property developer Iliad Group – New Bird Street and St Michaels II – located in The Baltic Triangle and Ropewalks areas of Liverpool respectively.
New Bird Street is a 156 apartment development. The design draws from the historical industrial use of the Baltic Triangle area and the many mills that occupied it.
New Bird Street Liverpool buildings:
The building looks to restore the urban edge to the surrounding streets and sets up a perimeter block with an internal courtyard. The pitched roof form incorporated into the design is a distinctive element within the area both historically and now, through the modern industrial sheds of the Baltic Creative Units. The dense massing is broken down through a series of larger carvings creating external terraces and deep balconies.
The ground floor will be commercial space, specifically aimed at creative industries which looks to relate to the nearby Baltic Creative. The units will form a relationship with the internal courtyard creating a vibrant space for residents and commercial occupiers alike.
St Michaels II is the second phase of the St Michaels development and will act as an opening link from Bold Street, through the Ropewalks and ultimately to the Baltic Triangle and historic waterfront.
St Michaels II Liverpool development:
Comprising 120 apartments, the predominant material in St Michaels II is brick, which is synonymous with the Baltic Triangle. Significant details such as the entrance foyer will be accentuated with bronze aluminium, while the brickwork will comprise of two tones, with a warm buff/grey to the majority of the building and a darker grey/blue brick forming a plinth element to the lower portion of the blocks.
Tim Groom, Tim Groom Architects said: “The two schemes follow previous projects delivered by us for Iliad Group in the Baltic Triangle area. We’ve drawn upon the warehouse typography found within The Baltic Triangle and careful consideration has been given to the materiality of each scheme with particular attention being paid to detailed design and refined craftsmanship, building on the ethos of Iliad Group to provide high quality developments.”
