Great Design / Silo Stairs House



Really like this.

1) Simple design
2) All plumbing at one end of house
3) Silo stairs allow greater freedom in internal layout
4) Easily extended?
5) Tiny footprint -
Main Level: 687
Second Level: 687
Total: 1,374 Sq. Ft.
Bedrooms: 3
Baths: 2
Width: 23'
Depth: 29'

Stories: 2
Foundations: Slab
6) Excellent use of ground area without wasting space like most roofs do.

7) Easily scaled up. what could you do with a 45' by 60' version?



Extra ideas...

  • Bathroom on ground just needs to be wc. But en-suite needed for master upstairs.
  • Could be built on a plot too small for other house designs.
  • How about adding suntrap/lookout tower etc onto the silo?
  • Carry on the stairs to a sunroom? Sun-bathing/drying washing/flood light in via windows to stairs and even a central sun-tube carrying extra light? Could make a sunroom with top clear, but not sides for our / neighbours privacy. Use a conservatory roof design?
  • Have a basement with a swimming pool / games room. Endless pool with sunlight via sun-tube carried by silo?
  • Have lots of skylights on lower roof?
