Brooke’s project focuses on the transformation of Stanley Dock, a historically significant yet underappreciated site, into a vibrant cultural and educational hub. Once a bustling center, the dock has faded into relative obscurity, gaining recognition primarily as a sought-after filming location due to its unique architectural character.
Her proposal addresses the growing demand for specialised infrastructure to support its cinematic acclaim. The visionary masterplan introduces a blend of educational facilities and black box studios, harmonising with surrounding redevelopment efforts. Central to the project is the adaptive reuse of a 19th-century brick warehouse, where original features such as brick arch ceilings and cast iron columns are preserved wherever possible. The design also celebrates the building’s structural grid, ensuring its historic character is elegantly integrated into the modern intervention.
Brooke Wilson graduated with First-Class Honours from the University of Nottingham this summer. Her thesis project, showcased at the university’s end-of-year exhibition, received the Transformation and Re-use Prize and a commendation in the Urban Design and Context category. The project was subsequently featured on Dezeen. Brooke now works as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant at RSHP.
