kmbeach922 This is so cool! Really, I think it's such a unique and cool idea. I saw an episode on one of HGTV's shows where they did something similar. They turned the silo into a great circular room. It had a beautiful winding staircase around the silo. At the very top of the silo was a conservatory of sorts, with a telescope to look at the stars peering out of a window. They also built a deck around the silo windows. I think that emphasis on the windows and view and circular room design would be great. A winding staircase would look great as well.
Vikrant Sharma Homez Making a house around a Silo is a Sure way to get a Lot of Press ,This Inspiration picture Looks Amazing like a Movie set , I think the Top of the Silo can be Clear Glass to gaze at the skies above at Night .
What material did you use on the outside of the silo? - I am doing a similar project in Northern Illinois and wondered if the material you used might work for us as well. »
Maren Baker Design, LLC haha, I knew what you meant. :) The "silo" on my project is probably 1/2 the size of this one, so I will explore the zink option. Thank you!

Addition for barn expansion . . . silo would house a lift, and the top of the silo would be "suspended" . . . maybe house a hot tub. I've also seen a silo that had a spiral staircase, and the silo walls were used as an extensive wine cellar.
