Nowadays, more and more people are now creating homes out of things that you didn’t think was possible. One perfect example of this is how one creative couple from Phoenix, Arizona turned a grain silo into a chic, urban home.

Meet architect Christoph Kaiser and his wife, stylist and boutique owner Shauna Thibault. The pair recently got married and decided to put their own spin on “tiny living” by starting this unique home project.

Kaiser bought the 1955 corrugated steel grain silo from a local farmer in Kansas. It is 18 feet in diameter and has about 366 sq ft of livable space inside.

The cozy home, which is located in the Garfield Historic District, was once used as a storage for Kaiser’s gardening tools. The couple eventually changed their minds and embarked on a journey to fashion it into their dream home.

However, the couple did face some challenges in constructing the home. They had to consider the structure’s cylindrical nature – meaning they had to also manually create some furniture, like the kitchen cabinets.

“There were real constraints, like can you get two people to live in here comfortably without really having rooms per se?” Christoph said.

“That was a challenge to try to fashion everything you need, pretty much everything a regular house has but in this unconventional form and overall shape.”

The silo home spans two-floors and was designed as a loft since it doesn’t have any rooms. The kitchen and living area were strategically placed on the first floor, while the couple’s bedroom is located upstairs.

If you’re thinking about how the ventilation is, well, the couple installed a climate control system that uses subterranean air ducts to minimize noise and works in conjunction with the skylight at the top of the silo’s cone roof to deliver passive cooling to the home.

“It’s not the cookie-cutter vision or the Monopoly house people have in their head. It can be so many different things and the ability for people to fashion that to their liking, that’s a beautiful freedom we have.”

Another amazing feature that you’ll probably notice at the start is the massive sliding door. It’s basically the wall for the lower space which can also be opened whenever the couple has guests over.

A spiral staircase then leads to the couple’s modern loft bedroom that has a built-in home theater. They installed a digital projector so they can enjoy movies or binge-watch their favorite shows on the opposite wall while lounging in bed.

“I don’t think I’ve ever slept better in a space. There’s got to be some magic to being in a round environment and how it plays into your quality of sleep it’s just really comfortable. You just kind of feel like you’re always on vacation waking up in a space like that.”

The tiny home also has an amazing outdoor space that serves as their little oasis. It has two garden beds for their planted vegetables and outdoor seating to soak up the sun and the abundant nature surrounding their home.

Kaiser also loves his outdoor shower.

Figuring things out in the home was a joint effort, one that brought them closer. “I think we’ve learned a lot about our dynamics and the way that we work and accomplish things,” Thibault told Zillow.
