架构师提供的文本描述。联合建筑师为国王伍斯特的第二个十年计划包括重建船屋，它以前是一座小而难看的1950年代建筑。该网站是Masterplan，自然保护区和伍斯特市议会/Sustrans Worcester河边项目的焦点。在旧城防御线上，它处于历史城市核心的边缘，有着丰富的历史，包括诺曼和中世纪的考古学。建造一座引人注目的现代化建筑的宏伟计划提案受到伍斯特市议会规划者的欢迎。

Text description provided by the architects. Associated Architects’ second ten-year Masterplan for King’s Worcester included rebuilding the Boathouse, which was previously a small and unsightly 1950s building. The site is a focal point in the Masterplan, Conservation Area and in the Worcester City Council / Sustrans Worcester Riverside project. On the line of the old city defences, it is at the edge of the historic city core which has a rich history including Norman and medieval archaeology. The Masterplan proposal to create a striking modern building was welcomed by Worcester City Council planners.

现有的底层足迹增加了60%，为学校所有的划艇和划艇船队提供了存储空间。该场地经常受到洪水的影响，因此这层楼的内部和外部建筑都是从历史上的砖石路堤线上长出的健壮、公平的砖块。新墙反映了建筑的细长形式，是用双长砖块建造的.

The existing ground floor footprint is increased by 60% to provide storage for all the School’s considerable fleet of rowing boats and sculls. The site is subject to regular flooding, so this floor’s construction internally and externally is robust fair-faced brickwork growing out from the line of the historic brick embankment. Reflecting the elongated form of the building, the new wall is built with double-length bricks.

相比之下，轻型上部地板漂浮在挡土墙和洪泛平原之上。它提供改变，教学和学校/社区的培训和接待空间，从一个新的玻璃和悬臂的船头上和下塞文河戏剧性的看法。这和轻轻弯曲的计划，遵循历史的防线，给建筑一个独特的现代存在的河滨步道。

By contrast, the lightweight upper floor floats above the retaining wall and flood plain. It provides changing, teaching and a school / community training and reception space, with dramatic views up and down the River Severn from a new glazed and cantilevered prow. This and the gently curving plan, following the historic defensive line, give the building a distinctive modern presence on Riverside Walk.

楼上俯瞰历史悠久的克里顿纪念花园，以前是学校场地的一个未被使用的部分。该计划开辟了一条通往船屋的新路线，通过花园，更直接、更方便轮椅，并提高了安全性：以前的船屋是孤立的，只有在学校外才能进入。一座新的花园露台和窗户向北集中可以看到大教堂和圣安德鲁尖顶的两个伍斯特地标。

The upper floor overlooks the historic Creighton Memorial Gardens, previously an under-used part of the School grounds. The scheme creates a new route to the Boathouse through the Gardens, which is much more direct, wheelchair friendly, and improves security: the previous Boathouse was isolated and accessible only from outside the School grounds. A new garden terrace and windows north focus views to the twin Worcester landmarks of the Cathedral and St Andrew’s spire.

精致的甜板栗木板条遮住了上面的体积，风化成了一种天然的银灰色，与敏感的历史背景保持一致。而不是水平运行，车床设置在一个浅角度，以加强建筑物的动态形式。室内采用冰桦木覆盖木梁，便于密闭结构和快速的热响应，可用于多种用途。屋顶是传统的立式缝纫涂层不锈钢.

Fine sweet chestnut timber laths cloak the upper volume, weathering down to a natural silvery-grey colour in keeping with the sensitive historic context. Rather than running horizontally, the laths are set at a shallow angle to enhance the dynamic form of the building. The interior is panelled in ice-birch over timber I-beams, facilitating airtight construction and rapid thermal response for multiple uses. The roof is traditional standing seam terne-coated stainless.

可持续性是简要和设计中的一个中心考虑因素。太阳能和热水屋顶面板满足了建筑物在夏季的大部分能源需求，并在冬季做出了有益的贡献。该结构采用Passivhaus设计原理，具有三重玻璃、超绝缘和气密性.这些措施，再加上木球锅炉，使EPC A的环境性能接近零碳标准.

Sustainability is a central consideration in the brief and design. Solar electric and hot water roof panels meet much of the building’s energy needs in summer, and make a useful contribution in winter. The construction uses the principles of Passivhaus design with triple glazing, super-insulation and air-tightness. These measures, coupled with a wood-pellet boiler, give environmental performance to EPC A, approaching zero carbon standards.
