The old Elevator was transformed into an eco-house Bashny.Net

An old grain silo 1950s, was restored and turned into a magnificent home. Architect Christoph Kaiser (Christoph Kaiser) combined the two environmental issues — has created a tiny house and used to re-cycle the building, thereby turning it into an affordable and comfortable home. It is located in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, this fanciful modern living at 340 feet boasts a negligible carbon footprint, which also had a positive impact on the extension of city benefits.



















Kaiser purchased the dismantled 1955 grain silo online from years Kansas farmer that was then transported to Arizona on the back of a pickup truck. Major major changes were made during the reassembly process for the silo, such as adding custom doors and Windows, (as well as ten insulated with spray foam), inserted between the silo walls and house interior. Corrugated steel shell was painted white to reflect the sun's heat in the desert and in order to illustrate the nature of historical American rural architecture.













Instead create a standard house with a square living area, Kaiser challenged themselves, precisely designed curved interior design with wood and black steel inner part, which corresponds to the circular form of the hopper. A young architect has maintained costs at a low level using the $350 on a flooring from boards of walnut, purchased from Craigslist, as they acted as the primary internal wooden material, and custom designed almost all internal furniture, except for a set of Eames Wire chairs. A spiral staircase leads to the bedroom, which is bathed in natural light from skylights located in the upper part of the hopper.
