This is a competition for a museum telling the story of Dunfermline, gallery spaces for changing exhibitions, education room, restaurant and shop.

The design is organised around a top lit street. Galleries are placed at the lower level, the main museum space at first floor with restaurant, education suite and terrace at the top. The “thick walled” architecture of the design contains services and framed views of surrounding notable Dunfermline buildings.

The most exciting and controversial aspect of the design is the entrance; A section of the Grade B listed former bank building will be demolished and rebuilt as a giant pivoting door returning the listed building to its former state when the building is closed
