The design sets out to make a public building with the quite presence equivalent to that of the mill buildings of the town. The building steps out to the East, addressing the town. The theatre opens up to an outdoor auditorium, to the North at the canal. To the West the Art workshops and café stretch into the park. The south block holds a sunken gallery space, overlooked by the street. The burnt timber facing on a solid timber super-structure talks back to the black Mill building in view across the public space to the south.

The proposal for a new Gallery of Contemporary Arts continues the flow of urban space in, around and through the new complex. A wide public route traverses the site making a covered plaza beside the river to the south and the market place to the East. The gallery spaces are consequently elevated to the first floor. These are reached, in stages, by a broad, gently sloping stair. The sequence is influenced by Scharoun’s Staatsbliothek in Berlin.

The local riverside typology and the beautiful angled roofscape of the Old City prompt a timber framed wrapping around the galleries.
