The Water Tower

This Grade II-listed Victorian water tower in Kennington, south London, has been dramatically reimagined by ACR Architects and Acanthus WSM and was famously featured on the 100th episode of Grand Designs in 2012. Within the same footprint, 4,482 sq ft of interior space has been sensitively curated by Sue Timney Design through an incredibly contemporary lens, prioritising light, volume, and comfort. From all directions, banks of glazing present towering views of the city skyline, while a vast rooftop terrace crowns a geometric-shaped extension, earning it the playful sobriquet ‘The Cube’.
