today, it s the turn of the windermere jetty museum in the lake district. the museum is home to a unique collection of boats. and the building itself boasts black oxidised copper clad walls and large cantilevered overhangs. easy for me to say! and it s the first contemporary building on the shore of windermere for more than 50 years. ifound it an enormous privilege being trusted to imagine a building in such a beautiful setting. this building is intentionally a very atmospheric visitor experience. i m rowan seaford. i m an associate director at carmody groarke. i m andy groarke, of carmody groarke architects, and we are the architects for the windermerejetty museum.
