Crafty Architect Turns A 1955 Grain Solo Into A Classy Home (18 pics)
Christoph Kaiser stumbled upon an old grain silo in Kansas when he had a vision. He thought it could be something so much more so he decided to completely transform this space and turn it into something completely new.
Inside, Kaiser crafted a curved interior that matches the silo's circular footprint. "I didn’t want to cheat and do a box inside a curved shell," he says. "I wanted it to feel like the inside and outside were born of the same mentality." Scrap walnut plank flooring purchased on Craigslist for $350 accounted for most of the interior wood. It's paired with black steel touches. Everything in this room is custom—Kaiser designed the curved-faced cabinets, the dining table, the sofa, and the lamp that has hooks for pots and pans. The countertops are Corian. The Eames Wire Chairs are one of the only non-custom elements.
