On a thin sliver of land situated between the River Thames
and a small reservoir, a new boating house is provided for those citizens who
like messing about in boats on the river -- while facing in the other
direction, a look-out tower enables ornithologists to spot rare waders and
other species that nest within this tranquil bird reserve area, which is
memorably named the Leg of Mutton Nature Reserve. A tough but bold form of
architecture is thereby introduced into the flood-prone riverside landscape of
west London, while the everyday rituals of preparing, launching, and removing
the various rowing boats creates an exciting visual dynamic for the scheme.
