Located in Hull, East Yorkshire, near the Humber Estuary, the proposed museum is a memorial to the lost elements of St Andrew’s Dock.
The architecture of the museum has three key aspects to recall the dock: the uneven hallway imitating a ship’s hull and its interaction with changing tides over time; a recollection of the lost fish market through fish kits displays; and the commemoration of fishermen through an installation of coloured ties attached to the cable net canopy, highlighting the lost fishermen and their past industry.
The museum not only remembers the history of the area but also serves as a measuring tool to record the changing water levels of the River Humber. Hull is considered a flood risk area due to climate change with water levels expected to rise by two to seven feet by 2050. Changing tides and water level rises are measured through an uneven exhibition hallway floor at different heights, allowing visitors to observe and interact with the tide during the exhibition.

Floor levels in the museum have been designed to allow the spaces within to flood in relation to future rising water levels.
