With 20 apartments featuring all different sizes over six floors – despite a consistently generous floor-to-ceiling height of 2.7 metres – the new building features an underfloor water heating system, which heats up the flats in a more environmentally friendly way and makes a welcome, comfortable change from traditional radiators. CEO Martin Glomnes explains that the quality of the flats, which were completed at the end of 2016, is outstanding. “There are glass-enclosed balconies that shield the residents from the weather, which can be quite rough near the seafront. Facing east towards the quay, the balconies extend the season for use as the glazing means that they can be enjoyed all year round.”
