This 100 ft. (30 meter) tall water tower located in the small Belgian village of Steenokkerzeel was built for the town between 1938 and 1941. Today, it is no longer used as a water tower, but has become the private luxury home of a prominent Belgian businessman. What could be so fabulous and grandiose about living in a water tower you might ask? Scroll down and see for yourself that even the plainest of buildings can become spectacular with a bit of intriguing design. |
