Welcome to Phase Two plans for our interior renovations
Here we go again, embarking on the next exciting phase of our project! We have some fantastic plans and exciting news about our approach to the delicate task of creating an interior design that honours our heritage building obligations while also accommodating the needs of future generations who will use the Watch House in new and innovative ways. We’re pleased to announce that Northumbria University’s Department of Architecture and Built Environment has agreed to conduct a cross-year design competition this November. Over three days, a group of students will visit the building and work on creating innovative designs that adhere to our heritage guidelines. Even Prof David Olusoga (pictured) is impressed with our progress. “My very best wishes for success to the project to rebuild and re-purpose the historic watch House at Cullercoats” At the end of the competition, the student designs will be displayed in the Watch House, where our volunteers, members and visitors can provide feedback
