The Oceans Command Museum at the historic Chatham Dockyard in Kent was built on the site of a former ship's sailmaking workshop and is best known for the 1765 construction of HMS Victory, Admiral Nelson's flagship for the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The new building features 20 glued-laminated timber portal frames with a CLT deck; all timber is fully exposed in contrast to the traditional timber structure of the adjacent warehouses. The project was designed by Baynes & Mitchell Architects and has won numerous awards, including a 2017 RIBA Stirling Prize nomination.
