NEW COMMISSION HAS DESIGNS ON CARDIFF BAY
Cardiff Bay will be at the heart of Welsh urban design and architecture when the newly-established Design Commission for Wales (DCFW) – set up by the National Assembly for Wales – officially opens its brand-new national headquarters in the Bay, this summer.
The DCFW has taken 1,500 sq ft (140 sq m) of space on a 15-year lease in Building Two of Associated British Ports (ABP)-owned Caspian Point office complex. From its headquarters at Caspian Point, the commission will champion high standards of architecture and urban design throughout Wales.
Steve Pritchard, ABP Regional Property Manager, South Wales Ports, said:
“ABP’s Caspian Point is the ideal location for the DCFW, who will be at the centre of Cardiff’s cultural and artistic quarter, surrounded by many great examples of landmark architecture and award-winning buildings such as the NCM building and the Wales Millennium Centre, which will completed by the end of next year.”
Carole-Anne Davies, Chief Executive of the DCFW, explained that Cardiff Bay was the natural choice for the Commission’s headquarters and complements the aims of the DCFW:
“It is important for us to be in area where there is a commitment to environmental quality and Cardiff Bay is a clear example of how such commitment has helped regenerate an area into a thriving sustainable development.”
