Nice job, great way to avoid scrapping all that perfectly usable metal. one queston though…when your child is acting up how do you send them to put their face in the corner?

Too cool !! Funny how some people mix up their OPINION with what they think is right or wrong~some people need to chill out a little and enjoy something for what it is… Love to see stuff like this!!

I LOVE This design….I wonder how much it cost total to do this. I’ve been thinking of using a silo for a home for a LONG time and after seeing this, my plans are going further. How much should someone expect to spend on a house like this??? any thoughts or suggestions?

This isn’t the wierdest dwelling I have seen but it’s close. I hope it can’t be seen from the highway. It looks like a lunar habitat and I’m sure most communities would not let it be built in their neighborhood. The inside looks like a prison – cold and not inviting. Would you want to live here? I sure wouldn’t.

I love this place! Would love to have a place similar to this one day… Very creative use of space and materials. I will never look at a silo the same way again.

My, my, so many overcritical comments. Worst thing I could say about it is not a good house to raise kids in- how would you make them stand in the corner when they misbehave?

Great idea. Is this cheap to build per square foot.

Is there much storage built into the design? or is most of the space open?

This looks really cool.

Those crazy Millions who have lived in, yurts, igloos, rondavels, teppees, wichiups etc. Only up tight europeans insist on square corners. Round is down. It’s great.

The roundness would and will drive the inhabitants insane before long.

I like the inside design of the home. Perhaps the outside of this home could be different than looking like a tin can…

How can you love the concept, but not the metal siding?

The concept is all about living in a silo, and silos are made of metal.

I love the concept and the house. The natural light and open living spaces are wonderful. The only thing I could do without is the metal siding on the outside.
