The Forth Frontier
The Forth Frontier is a proposal for a new maritime crossing between Kirkcaldy and Leith using a hydrofoil, a faster, smoother and more efficient method than ever thought possible on this route.
The project would see two derelict existing buildings, situated in the harbours of each location, transformed into transportation terminals for a commuter route. The service would then expand into a tourist route, visiting other locations in the Forth Estuary.
The concept and design of these buildings comments on the climate emergency we face, while reflecting the unique history and surroundings of each of the building.
