The feasibility study explored the viability of repurposing the Nunnery into a modern creative support system for collaboration with higher education students. This design brief outlines the architectural vision and strategy for converting and repurposing into a modern creative support system that promotes collaboration with higher education institutions. The project aims to transform various aspects of the site, particularly focusing on the Original Mansion Wall and adapting the Old Priory Site into multifunctional host spaces.

I. The Transformation for Creatives Project
The Nunnery, situated on the Isle of Man, stands as a site of historical significance and architectural intrigue. All historical descriptions of The Nunnery are from speculation, and it is impossible to discern the extent to which subsequent writers have relied on earlier reports rather than ascertained a true history from their own observations. This theme of inferred knowledge acts as a guide throughout the project, allowing for future predictive decisions of the site.

II. The Righton Building
The adaptive reuse of the Grade II listed Righton Building has proven to be a transformative balance, combining historical preservation with contemporary functionality. Through meticulous planning, innovative design solutions, and respecting the existing building, our team have successfully proposed a new life into a structure needing to reach its full potential. One of the project’s standout efforts is the preservation of the site’s historical integrity. By repurposing existing elements and incorporating them into the new design, we have honored the rich narrative embedded in the architecture, allowing reminders of past to coexist harmoniously with the present. In essence, our Righton Building design is a manifestation of creativity, resourcefulness, and a forward-thinking approach to using adaptive reuse in architectural design.
