Who Said Water Tanks Were Boring?

by Jennifer Chait on February 18th, 2008

Not me. Well, not anymore. If you’re Paul Morgan Architects then you know plain old water tanks are so last year. Marye, from Kettle & Cup, sent me a heads up about this beautiful home, the Cape Schank House. It’s posted at Materialicious - with a name like that, you know it’s a blog you should visit.

Look at this:

Lovely roofing structure. The whole home is unbelievably slick. The water tank is this huge white teardrop like structure in the middle of the living room. The tanks serves to store rainwater, cool the living room, and is structurally necessary for the roof weight.
