Amersham Video

There are few Grand Designs with the style, quirkiness, and architectural integrity of this now famous water tower conversion - a triumph that's a fine example of how an empty industrial building can be repurposed for modern and elegant family living.

  1. This was one of the first properties I sold. I worked for a firm who acted for Three Valleys Water Company, we were in the middle of the last property recession and it was difficult to sell then as it is now. The conversion looks great and it will be interesting to see how the conversion of the tower progresses. I do recall that the view from the top is fantastic.

  2. This method is used in europe for the last 10 year. You also get the polystyrene bricks with steel frame. Its a great method which improves and makes work easier. Hope I gets picked up by the UK construction
