The main open-plan living space is flooded by plenty of natural light, with thanks to the contemporary glass architecture.
Large inviting white sofas frame a sleek glass coffee table. They are positioned so, to make a centre point of focus of the impressive fireplace. The industrial-style flume appears to float down from the high ceilings above.
Living room
A smart glass-framed structure extension makes this home feel like a piece of modern art sat on the riverbank. Just imagine sitting on that sofa with your feet up, watching the world float by.
