Monte Silo is an 1,800 square foot home by Gigaplex Architects. It is located in on the Provo River in Woodland, Utah and was built for a single man and his many visitors. The owner of the house insisted on having a 27' diameter octagon for a living room, so Gigaplex came up with the brilliant idea of linking two corrugated metal grain silos in such a way as to maximize floor space, river views, and solar heat.
Floors are installed with radiant in-floor heating and there is also a wood burning stove. One of the most unique features is the the 'Bed in a Box' concept for the bunk room, in which each bed 'pod' has it's own flat screen tv and stereo system.
I could definitely get used to hanging out here in the summertime!
