The job essentially comprises a modern timber
building, which has been slipped inside a
reconstructed stone skin. Due to the setting
of an historic harbour, no new openings were
permitted in the stone walls, resulting in most
of the natural light coming via a ridge rooflight,
which runs the length of the building.

Spaces are provided in the building for the
construction of traditional boats, and the
teaching of these skills to local school children.
The volunteers from the charity played a large
part of the project, and partially constructed the
building themselves.
