Sweet little building perched on the edge of the Cam. The wood looks a
bit weary (note gradation from grey below to original richness above)
and seems discordant with context but works well with the rich beige brickwork.
The balconies and stairs hanging off the facade are quaint to some and
fiddly for others but a welcome antidote to much of the recent macho and
monumental college architecture. The immediate relationship with the water
is superb, feeling more Italian than 'rules & regulation' English.
