7. Sky house converted from water tower
Water towers can become lumbering eyesores on the skyline once they lose their purpose. The tall structures do however tend to make very nice living spaces. A 60ft tower in London was recently converted into a breath-taking round room, shooting designer Tom Dixon to fame. But before this concrete, cylindrical space took shape, a disused water tower / bed and breakfast was reaching for the skies in Suffolk, England. Originally constructed nearly 90 years ago, this remodelled tower has been dubbed the house in the clouds and no doubt boasts amazing views.
