It comprises a mix of houses and apartments imaginatively designed to reflect the traditional boat and barge-building activities of the area. The predominant material externally is natural timber weatherboarding, stained white or black to reflect the Kentish vernacular whilst the roofs are in either clay tiles or slates. Particular features include long sculptural balconies overlooking the waterside constructed in timber and picked out in a strong and expressive red colour to contrast with the remainder of the building volumes. Internally there are many split-level spaces with individually designed gardens & decks.
