Levitate Architecture and Design Studio Ltd, London
"Levitate propose to rebalance development on Birnbeck Island, by amplifying the Island’s natural beauty. Removing unsightly decks that shroud the island reveals natural rock. Through this Birnbeck will be
restored as a phenomenal habitat – a complimentary alternative to the town’s busy seafront, creating a place where people can explore rock pools, bird watch or simply sit and watch the sunset. Historic buildings will be restored and two linear buildings will sit on retained concrete pads, elevated above the rock in response to the natural environment that remains the dominant force. A range of residential leisure accommodation is suggested, while on the land a terrace of town houses will provide essential development revenue."
Judges comment: "Good rationale, well considered scheme, liked the thought process."
