The building is made of cross-laminated timber, with a main structure of glulam beams and steel columns. The building's exterior walls are insulated with cross-laminated timber and high-performance insulation for thermal and acoustic insulation, and are covered by sail-shaped timber walls on the second floor. The building is naturally ventilated, and its large windows allow natural light to enter. Overall, the resulting building is a high-performance, low-energy, CO2-friendly design, while also creating a socially sustainable hub that allows pedestrians to easily engage with the community within. Outside, a new promenade connects the existing harbour and waterfront areas, forming a loop with the old town’s main street. Interwoven between the buildings are ‘Sea Gardens’, a productive garden that was initiated and created in collaboration with local high school students and is now cared for by the town’s ‘Improvement Group’. From the perspective of the owner, Donald Duggan, Chairman of the Eyemouth Harbour Trust, the Eyemouth Waterfront Revitalisation Project is an integral part of the overall development framework. The innovative redevelopment of the former ‘Old Fish Market’ is intended to help Eyemouth achieve sustainable economic growth and create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and residents, while also restoring a sense of place to Eyemouth’s waterfront. Christine Bell, Executive Director of the Owner, Eyemouth Harbour Trust, said: “From the outset, we were impressed by the focus, professionalism and enthusiasm of the Galmstrup Architects project team. This project has been a fantastic journey and a positive challenge. Much time was spent on understanding the brief and considering how the project would sit within the town rather than just cling to the edge of the city. The project team ensured that the requirements were fully incorporated into the design and construction, resulting in a stunning, high-quality building that provides the most flexible space for the required functions while also providing a unique waterfront space for citizens all year round. This building on the harbour has created a welcome space in the town and we hope it will be a catalyst for the transformation of the waterfront. I can’t wait to see the excitement of the building when it is fully operational in the spring and summer.” Architect’s perspective on the project: “We took an urban approach and wanted to create a more extended waterfront area above the site of the old fish market. The community clearly wanted the building to have open views and to make better use of its central site. Our design strategy was to The idea is to create a natural circular connection between the town centre, the seafront and the harbour within the protected area. Rather than building one long building, we chose to create a series of smaller buildings with gardens and squares in between. This gives back large areas of open space to the town’s residents and creates a place to ‘see and be seen’. The building will also welcome many summer guests, with much-needed gathering spaces for young people and office space for local businesses. Usually, community centres are designed with the corresponding spaces and activities planned after the architect is commissioned. In this project, we worked with the client to explore what activities and functions would be more appropriate for the community and would complement and run side by side with the existing community. The client made an ambitious decision: to make the project a strong landmark building and open community space on the harbour, while seamlessly integrating into the community life. ” Galmstrup Anne Mare Galmstrup, Director of Architecture at Architects, said: “As a result, the new Eyemouth Pavilion, built on the site of the old fish market, is more than just a brick and mortar building. It is an emerging civic arch that will grow and mature with the community over the coming years. Community buildings are an important resource for building sustainable, healthy societies. At the same time, Scottish towns and local high streets are becoming increasingly fragile, with many public and commercial facilities being built on the edges of towns or between towns. In order to dilute the ‘status’ of local high streets and reduce unnecessary cross-town walking, we adopted a passive, alienated design strategy. The town centre we designed strengthens the commercial and leisure facilities that are important to the local economy and proves that architecture can be a valuable tool to promote the development of active towns.” Design firm: Galmstrup Architects Area: 1100 m² Project time: 2023 Photographer: Nick Kane Design firm: Galmstrup Architects Lead designer: James F.
