‘Boundaries’ addresses the definition of architecture across administrative boundaries - how does this impact the building’s form and development ? With two sites spanning across the Isle of Portland and Weymouth, this project focuses on the relationship to its edge, allowing the boundary to become a defining element in the design and construction of the building. Stone offcuts, and its materiality, is at the core of this project, dictating and forming the architecture.

All spaces in the building celebrate Portland stone, with stone masonry workshops on the Portland side and gallery spaces to exhibit the stone on the Weymouth side.

The building, although functional, is at its core a love letter to stone. The project aims to remain purist in its apporach, situated at the heart of Portland stone, on the Isle of Portland.
