Studio Egret West has revealed this design for a new £10 million hotel and sailing school in West Kirby, Wirral.
The scheme, backed by developer Carpenter Investments, will replace an existing 1965 sailing school and provide the small seaside town with a new restaurant, bar, spa and conference facilities.
Carpenter Investments' founder Alan Beer said: 'Our scheme is ambitious in terms of strategic vision and design concept as we aim to integrate both aspects of the development into a single waterfront attraction.
'Our architect, Studio Egret West, is young and ambitious with a fast-developing international reputation for creating exciting buildings.'
The development follows a recent boom in the area after local golf club Royal Liverpool became one of the hosts of the British Open.
