Though a water tower is likely not the first thing you consider to be a great place to live in or the most aesthetically pleasing sight, these refurbished water tower designs will have you changing your mind.
Many of these structures have been taken from drab to fab with the help of imaginative and innovative architects. Many of these homes have been recreated to be livable and luxurious spaces beyond anyone's wildest imaginations. Not only that, they are also high up and have windows that span 360 degrees, which means that the owner will get a beautiful view. Not all of these water towers are abodes but they have been selected for its innovative and intriguing designs.
All of these refurbished water tower designs demonstrate that any lackluster structure can be turned into an exquisitely beautiful sight or incredibly modern abode.
