The Henley Royal Regatta Headquarters, Henley on Thames, Berkshire project, running from (1983-1985) was intended to house the disparate functions of the Regatta organisation in one building. The site was a sensitive one to develop, being adjacent to a listed 18th century bridge at the entrance to a town in greenbelt land.

The eventual design began at river-level accommodating the storage of the timbers used the mark to course of the annual Regatta. This storage requirement constituted the key organising axial spine of the building. The main level contained offices, storage and reception spaces, and a double height committee room with a balcony which commands wide views over the River Thames, as does the Secretary's flat in the roof space. The architectural conception was a formal 'civic' building reflecting the importance of the Regatta in the life of Henley. The project aimed to combine the influence of English building traditions and stylistic typology of the Thames boathouse with that of Arsenal in Venice.
