Lot Information

Lot 1

Project 1 - Rome Residence Refurbishment; Villa Wolkonsky built in c1860 is the official residence of the British ambassador to Italy in Rome Seismic investigations have identified deficiencies with the residence building, and much of the mechanical and electrical services are now considered to be end of life. A project is therefore required to strengthen the residence building against seismic forces and to carry out a full refurbishment and building services replacement. The opportunity will also be taken to modernise the layout to better suit today's working practices. There are no works currently planned elsewhere in the grounds. A RIBA Stage 2 report previously commissioned identified strengthening and refurbishment solutions. A design and project management team, have been appointed under a separate commission to update and complete the Stage 2 report with Stage 3 structural information. The FCDO require cost consultancy services to support the development of the updated Stage 2 information and to provide support through RIBA stages 3-7 including the contract administration of other professional services contracts. The Residence is under the protection of the local heritage authorities. Initial estimated works cost for Project 1 stand at PS16.2m. Project 2 - Rome Embassy Refurbishment; The British Embassy office building at Rome's Porta Pia was designed by the British architect Sir Basil Spence, and opened in 1971. In addition to the British Embassy office, the compound also contains the former Holy See Embassy (relocated in 2023 and now vacant), some residential properties and other ancillary buildings.
