Sketch of the week: River Thames property concept

This week’s #buildingdoodle sketch is by Lesley Helly, principal architect at LA Hally Architect. She says: “With its bold forms and playful use of materials, this recent project is located in a beautiful rural location alongside the River Thames. In this early concept sketch we wanted to capture the view of the refurbished property from the river itself, engaging with the spirit of the proposal and exploring the strong nautical themes expressed in its materiality. The concept of an upturned boat nestled within the greenery grounds the property in its surroundings, adding a softness to the angular roof form.”
