Water Tower House
Architect Mauro Brigham of Bham Design Studio has repurposed an old water tower in Belgium, known as Chateau d’eau, into a livable home. The 30-meter-high tower, which was constructed between 1938 and 1941, has been transformed into a high-tech, modern residence that offers all the amenities of a typical house, from a bedroom and bathroom, to storage space and a panoramic terrace. The exterior of the six-story structure was originally renovated prior to the interior restoration which began in 2007. The water tower home features a number of desirable aspects for any homeowner as well as a few truly unique functions. The home is fully equipped with the latest IT technology and an advanced domotics system that allows one to control various facets of the home. This includes anything from controlling the intensity and color of lights to the temperature of each room and the volume level of music playing on a sound system.
