Boathouse, Worcester

Over the years I've seen quite a few buildings that have drawn their inspiration from boats and ships. For example, the Boathouse Business Centre in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, draws its form, and that of its setting from its location next to a river marina. The architects of The King's School boat house by the River Severn in Worcester seem to have had the sleek sculling boats that it houses in mind when they designed its shape, with the "prow" or "bridge" projecting out over the main doors.
