Strongly axial in its composition and design, the William Vincent Wallace "Millennium" plaza comprises three functional components: a tall sculptural element, a boardwalk linking into the existing marina and a covered performance area.

The focal element of the plaza - the tall, slender sculpture - terminates the quays and provides an elegant counterpoint to Reginald's Tower. The sculpture will also be visible as a beacon to ships and yachts arriving at the city. The sculpture, the bow structure and the shields in the convered performance area invoke images of a Viking long boat.

Viewed from across the river, the plaza echoes the spires of the city. All in all we hope the William Vincent Wallace "Millennium" Plaza gives a nautical flavour that echos the masts and sailing ships that once frequented this port.
