I like it.
ETA: and the neighbours don't. What an ironic surprise in their mock Tudor fronted homes.

Nah. Outside was static caravans, inside was a white wall art gallery. Not one bit like a home I'd like to live in and why would you have the bath and shower open to the riverside windows?!?. 100th next week, a 10 floor tower in London!

They could have gone for a modern interpretation of a traditional boat house, but, although obviously built to a high standard, it does looks like a few portacabins stacked somewhat haphazardly  Missed opportunity I'd say. I think a building has to look 'right' in its surroundings as much for its own sake as those around it.

There were some horrors along that stretch weren't there?
To my mind though, it wasn't the house itself but the position that was slightly odd. It looked too squeezed in and jutted out more than the other houses.

The house reminds me of the Imax at Bournemouth. Which was once voted one of the UK's most hated buildings. Still each to their own I guess!

Nope not for me. I like modern buildings but not that one and not there.

Whilst I can understand people don't necessarily like the building itself, I failing to see how anybody thinks the huge white knackered shed that was falling down was better. I don't think it necessarily fits it location, but it is certainly better than what was there before. I quite like it. As for the spiteful Mrs Hill, shame she didn't work out that if that floods, so will theirs...  Also, that cladding system was superb.
