We’ve all heard about the tiny home movement that has been trending over the past few years. If that movement interested you, you’re going to love this one!

The latest trend in housing is building homes out of old silos! These homes have the eco-friendly, minimalist feel of tiny homes while also giving people a vertical space that can be used in unique ways.

These silo homes may look like plain old grain bins from the outside, but on the inside, they have been completely renovated to become cozy living spaces. Standing many stories tall, these homes have a surprisingly light and airy appearance. Since silos have already been built and do not require any upkeep, they are usually very affordable homes to buy.

Earl Stein called upon the Utah-based firm Gigaplex Architects to convert a silo into a custom-made home for him that he calls “Montesilo.”

“Even when indulging myself with warm morning floors, my heating bills have been a fraction of what it would cost to heat an 1,800-square foot house in this harsh Utah environment at 7,100 feet,” Stein said. “Even with all the custom work, Montesilo came in below $200 per square foot—well below average building costs for the area.”

The compact space and insulation of tiny homes makes heating and cooling needs for them minimal, which makes them even more environmentally friendly! If you’d rather not live in a silo full-time, you can also turn a silo into a nifty guest house for when your family and friends visit!
