The development shows a scheme that focuses as much on the building as on the landscape.

​

The parking space behind will instead be used as a park, which will lower the noise pollution on site.

​

The building itself is broken up between the museum and the Atrium, with a footbridge leading from one to the other on the first floor.

​

The museum changes shape to appear like it has been smoothly cut through, instead of a wall it is connected to the outside with a glazed wall. The space between the museum and the Atrium opens up the Plaza to the park and makes the space more unified.

​

The Plaza opens up both to Chester Road and Edge Lane to give multiple access points. It transforms into steps towards the canal, with a space for gigs and performances looking out onto the canal.

​

A footbridge connects the Plaza to the other side of the canal, to ensure continuous circulation from the tram stop into town.

​

The cinema now also hosts a screen on the South wall, which will be used as an outdoor cinema during warmer months of the year.
