Stage 3

The Gallery aims to bring people together over fun and exciting activities by encouraging them to engage with various arts and cultures and promoting being active through skating. The proposal seeks to achieve this by introducing multiple design workshops to the site, educating and promoting the arts, and providing a new multi-discipline indoor skatepark that can be transformed into an exhibition space, in addition to the other supporting areas such as an art shop, a skate shop and a cafe overlooking the High Street and mixed use space .

The design utilises the existing brick building on the site and adds to it with a new polycarbonate structure that is inpired by the industrial history of the dockyard and the forms of the old warehouses.
