These pictures show what a set of new homes being built along the seafront will look like inside.
Work is under way to construct 12 properties on the corner of Park Avenue and Brook Gardens, behind the Spanish City Dome in Whitley Bay.
This is the site where the former Avenue Hotel used to be.
The old pub had been empty for years and became an eyesore before North Tyneside Council bought the building and demolished it in 2015.
Plans were then drawn up for new houses, and construction work started last year.
The development, due to be completed in August, will have a mixture of three and four bedroom townhouses, as well as a ground-floor apartment and maisonette.
The site has been named Empress Point, after the old Empress Ballroom, which was part of the Spanish City complex.

The video above shows what progress has been made on the project so far.
A number of the properties have already been sold "off-plan".
The remaining are up for sale through Signature North East.
The three-bed homes are on the market for between £365,000 and £390,000, while a four-bedroom one is priced at £450,000.
The estate agents say the homes will have stunning views over the Whitley Bay seafront.
Meanwhile, another former pub site on the coast is being considered for new houses.
Compass Developments Ltd recently exchanged contracts to buy the Whisky Bends site and has submitted a planning application for three four-bedroom townhouses.
