FLOAT

FLOAT is an initiative dedicated to re-envisioning the historic Salthouse Dock in Liverpool by developing concept designs for a new floating activity hub. Engaging with the rich history of the Liverpool Docks, the project aims to revitalize the canal-side public space and create a multi-functional hub for education, performances, environmental learning, and community activities. Following storm damage in early 2024, the existing floating stage was deemed beyond repair, making way for a fresh, innovative replacement. This project offers valuable real-world design experience while contributing to Liverpool’s vibrant waterfront.
