After doing several posts featuring silo homes and grain bin homes, here's one about a water tower conversion in Steenokkerzeel, Belgium, originally built near the beginning of WWII and suppying water to surrounding villages up until it was decommissioned in 1990.
Fortunately, the water tower, now referred to as "Chateau d'Eau" ( Water House), was designated as a monument at that time and subsequently preserved. Since then, interior architect Mauro Brigham worked some magic and helped convert the tower into a beautiful home.
Here's some photos, borrowed from the internet, to show you what the home looks like inside and out.

| Funky interior |

| Cool that they kept some of the old plumbing apparatus! |

| Lots of natural light, coming in from all sides. |

| Would you guess you were inside an 'old" water tower? |

| Stairs on the exterior wall. |

| Evening lights |
Amazing what people with creative minds and time can accomplish!
