Spoiler:
After being sold by the Ministry of Defense in 1982, the decommissioned Spitbank Fort went through a number of private owners before finally being purchased by Clarenco Group and its executive chairman, Buckinghamshire entrepreneur Mike Clare.
Led by Clare, the group spent $4.5 million to refurbish the former military stronghold and transform it into a luxury island resort that is fast emerging as one of the top getaway destinations in the U.K.
While the reimagined Spitbank Fort features ultra-modern fixtures and decor elements, its jaw-dropping design schemes incorporate much of the original structure, including rugged exposed brick and armor-plated walls.
Scroll through to get an up-close look at this structural reuse project and marvel at some seriously awesome design eye candy.
There's more to the article in additional pages, but I didn't feel like copy/pasting them all here one by one. Besides, you should follow the link to see the pictures.
It also has two nearby sister luxury sea fortresses under reconstruction that are even larger.

Posted this in Sound Off, but figured it was especially appropriate here.
