The spectacular, ever-changing views from within John Young's Thames-side Hammersmith apartment, on the top floor of a block of flats and offices built by the Richard Rogers Partnership, is just one of its surprising features. Inspiration from ship-building is much in evidence, for example in the treatment of the different levels or 'decks'. The use of stainless steel and open filigree structures create a fluid transition between living, eating and sleeping areas.
