We’ve had a recent fascination in our office with tower houses because of 2 new designs we are working on…
For both projects, our goal is to minimize footprint and maximize view. The schematic designs have evolved into an aesthetic similar to an extruded cube, so you may notice that theme in our inspiration images below.
We also shared a lot of cool Tower House designs a couple of years ago when we were designing FLY Modern in the Hudson Valley. Definitely worth a look for even more inspiration!
“There are many reasons to design a tower house – you own a small lot, it looks cool, or you’d like to keep a small footprint… but I’d say the most common reason to design a tower house is to take advantage of the views!” – A quote from our previous Modern Design Inspiration: Tower House (1.0) post, February 2017
