The exterior is clad in black mosaics, which glitter in the sunshine and give the house a touch of glamour.

In contrast to the exterior, the inside of the house is white and bright. The modular sofas in the living room allow everyone to enjoy the views, while the low bookcases are on casters so they can be wheeled out of the way for parties.

The hallway overlooks the garden, so a bench has been placed here to allow anyone who's passing to stop and enjoy the view. It also adds an energising shot of colour.

The kitchen units are made of aluminum topped with a bespoke concrete slab, adding a touch of industrial chic. A large dining table allows for big gatherings of family and friends.

The floor in the bathroom is cleverly slatted so it works as a wet room, too. The dark green adds refreshing colour and looks beautiful with the rich wood.

This serene bedroom has a bed that appears to float to keep the look uncluttered. The roomy storage bench is a nod to the owners' love of sailing.
