After last nights post I figured I should look into Zecc Architects and see what else they had done. Well, I was BLOWN AWAY!

This house comes in the form of a water tower that has been converted into a chic tribute to minimalist living. The outcome is a surprisingly roomy abode that hasn't been compromised by its limited space availability.

Before and After of Exterior:



The steel floor of the water tank divides the tower in two. In the bottom part is the traditional part of the house, with the kitchen, the living room and the kids bedroom. Above, in the water tank, is the master suite with a bedroom, a sauna and a study.

To reinforce the relation to the garden and to bring in more daylight inside, the tower has had glass added to much of the exterior. The water tower keeps the industrial character thanks to the material choices of concrete, glass and steel.
