Annie Heyworth lives in the beautiful English countryside but has always yearned to live on the water. To achieve her ambition, she didn’t have to move mountains, just several hundreds of tons of earth. Mrs. Heyworth, an artist, and her partner, Tim Healy, an endoscopist, are home builders who went to extremes to create a dream home in a dream setting. The long, low contemporary house they built stands on metal stilts so that it appears to float gently above a newly dug pond next to it.
