Information about this winner

A new gallery of modern art which brings together the town’s collection. Including education facilities and café, the scheme is surrounded by a new public space.  The gallery provides a dramatic glazed front to the square, and shows a good choice of materials.  The scheme is liked by local people and is playing an important role in regenerating the emerging Cultural Quarter. The building makes a bold statement about external space which is especially suitable for such a gallery.
