We’re delighted to share that we’ve been appointed to design a new Lake Windermere boathouse and lakeside retreat, in the heart of the Lake District.

The project includes the design of a new boathouse, dayroom, jetty and sauna, creating a carefully considered lakeside retreat that strengthens the connection between the landscape and the water. It is a privilege to be working in one of the UK’s most celebrated natural settings.

Located within the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site, the project requires a thoughtful and sensitive approach to both design and planning. The area’s internationally recognised cultural landscape demands architecture that respects its setting, heritage and environmental significance while meeting the needs of contemporary living.

Our approach is guided by the qualities of each site, balancing contemporary design with a careful understanding of the landscape. We aim to create buildings that respond to their surroundings and enhance the experience of place rather than competing with it.

The Lake Windermere boathouse project is currently at an early stage, and we look forward to developing a design that celebrates its exceptional setting, frames views across the lake and creates a seamless relationship between the new buildings and the surrounding landscape.

We’ll be sharing updates as the project progresses.
