Aside from the lax planning and zoning regulations, the toilets must flush really well. I’d be really impressed if it collects rainwater. Throw some elegant solar panels on the side and now you’re talking!

And all those stairs would certainly keep you fit.

what the hell is with “I love Fidel (en?) Castro?” written on the chalk board??
The chalk board is a great idea though … pretty sick house in general – and is that a shower on the roof?

Outstanding with killer views – I just love the seating area which I guess is on the larger top deck of the water tower. Imagine the tranquility! Oh bliss.
Just one thing, why no pictures of the bedrooms?
I have always had a bit of a thing about water towers because there are so many different designs – quirky and cool.

“En” is the Dutch word for “and”. As it is written in crayons, it is probably written by children who are unlikely to know Fidel Castro.
Both parts of that name can be used for names as well, and if you look at the 6th picture down (starting from the one with the ‘I love..’), I think you’ll see either Fidel or Castro. My guess it are the names of the domestic cats! :)
Like the concept by the way, I wonder what the actual size feels like (a lot of mirrors/shiny surfaces are present to enlarge everything…).

You could always use the big tube down the center for a quick exit. Or an elevator. Pretty cool.

So… the cat’s names are ‘Fidel’ and ‘Castro’? Way to go mum and dad, way to give celebrity to a dirty commie.
Gotta love Europe.

Quite a piece of art. An historical monument. But who would like to live in such place? I wonder how many times a day those poor people have to climb that steep ladders just to get a cup of coffee?
It is – as an architectural masterpiece – beautiful.
But it is not for living.
