Constructed around the original tower built of brick and cement, the addition is shaped like an octagon to add modern flair to the vintage castle-inspired home. Ellis William Architects is responsible for the upgrade of the Lymm Water Tower. The water tower is spaced out on a ravishing terrace of rolling trees and meadows. The [130 year-old tower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairburn-tower) is now eco-friendly and constructed with energy-saving windows. The home is nestled in the [Britain country side](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-oaks-farm) and hosts some of the most thought-provoking architectural work. With 110-foot ceilings and all-white interior, the home features work from the most coveted architectural brand in the United Kingdom. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Converted Castle Homes:** Opportunity for architects and designers to convert historical buildings into modern living spaces. - **Eco-friendly Construction:** Potential for construction companies to incorporate energy-saving features into renovated buildings. - **Modern Architectural Flair:** Demand for architects who can add contemporary design elements to traditional structures. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects can specialize in repurposing historical buildings into unique living spaces. - **Construction:** Construction companies can focus on making buildings more environmentally friendly in their renovations. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can create modern interiors that complement the historical features of converted buildings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Water Tower-Transformed Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amsterdamsestraatweg-water-tower.md) - [Castle-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-hills-house-1.md) - [Sculptural Water Tower Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vga-water-tower.md) - [River-Overlooking Red-Brick Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowater.md) - [Low-Carbon Biomimetic Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonkin-liu.md) - [Brutalist Concrete Tower Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trellick-tower.md) - [Medieval Cottage Steel Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watercress-cottage.md) - [Lambeth Palace Restorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lambeth-palace-1.md) - [Historic Castle Renewals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norwich-castle-restoration.md)
