Iron Line at Millom in Cumbria Design Competition Shortlist
The design partner for a project that will see an area of Cumbria?s coastline transformed has been announced following a global search.
A total of 21 landscape and architectural teams entered the competition to find a design partner for The Iron Line – a scheme that will see the uniquely beautiful sea wall and coastal lagoon enhanced to provide an inspirational and fully inclusive route across RSPB Hodbarrow. From the initial proposals, five were shortlisted and further submissions from the teams were displayed at a four-day exhibition which formed part of a wider public consultation exercise.
An expert jury panel was then convened which took community feedback into consideration before making a final decision.
Layer Studio was selected as the design partner to take the project to the next stage, with the panel saying Layer Studio?s Stage 2 submission was sensitive to place, heritage, ecology, culture, and community.
