The Art of Home Conversion: Transforming Uncommon Properties into Stylish Homes

Today a dwelling space can be made from many different types of structure: haylofts, ancient abbeys, fish stores, stables, warehouses and water towers are, to the imaginative eye, the shells within which a highly idiosyncratic and much-loved home can be made.
Such projects are not for the faint-hearted. Building regulations may present an awkward obstacle to the owner of a martello tower and everyday facilities such as electricity and running water may not come easy in a triumphal arch. But what links all the homes in this book is a determination on the part of their owners to convert an unlikely building into an unusual and individual dwelling that will perfectly suit their character and lifestyle.
