最初的MK画廊建于20世纪90年代末，坐落于Midsummer大道的顶部。本项目保留了原始结构，并加建了一个新的体量，将画廊的规模扩大了一倍多。

The original MK Gallery was constructed in the late 1990s and is located at the top of Midsummer Boulevard. The new development retains the first structure and adds a new one, to more than double its size.

在新MK画廊的表皮设计上，建筑师受到了米尔顿凯恩斯地区（Milton Keynes）传统建筑，如著名的的米尔顿凯恩斯购物中心和米尔顿凯恩斯车站广场，以及其毗邻的坎贝尔公园（Campbell Park）的几何元素等的影响和启发，使用抛光的不锈钢材料作为外表皮，映照着周边的自然环境。最终，现阶段的MK画廊由新旧两个体量共同组成，共有5个总面积高达500平方米的展览空间；此外，还有一间大型的学习和社区工作室，以及一座位于上层的礼堂，该礼堂名为The Sky Room，空间灵活，容纳了150个可伸缩的座位，提供着坎贝尔公园和周边乡村环境的景观视野。

The new MK Gallery reflects the natural world in its polished stainless-steel exterior surfaces inspired by classic Milton Keynes architecture, such as the listed Shopping Centre and Station Square, and the geometries of the adjacent Campbell Park. The completed development including both old and new structures provides five exhibition galleries, with a total of 500 sq metres of exhibition space; a large learning and community studio and The Sky Room, a flexible auditorium on the upper floor with 150 retractable seats and views over Campbell Park and the countryside.
