Inside Britain's 'ugliest building' - which turns out to be pretty stunning

Galliard Homes sent Business Insider a statement on winning the not-so enviable accolade:
"The Lincoln Plaza scheme was designed to compliment the existing architecture of London Docklands and the striking mosaic design was created to provide a striking and fresh contrast. Architectural design is art, and like all art, a matter of personal tastes."
"The scheme sold out to buyers, so clearly the project is liked by the purchasers. Galliard Homes are committed to providing homes for Londoners and helping young people get onto the housing ladder. Each project the company delivers is bespoke and distinctive and the company has built a strong reputation for rapidly selling out due to the quality of the homes and the highly competitive prices offered."
But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While the exterior has divided opinion, the inside of the complex, which comprises two towers, a hotel, and a round building in South Quay, is pretty stunning.
