This unique single-family residence is situated in a picturesque natural setting nestled in the beautiful Ozark hills. Dubbed "The Modern Silo" by builder Monticello Homes and Development, the home is truly where country style meets contemporary design. A galvanized grain silo is the focal point and core of the home, which surrounds the silo centerpiece.
With both homeowners being designers, high design is evident throughout the home – from the galvanized clad spiral staircase to the backsplash with a ribbon of randomly placed nickels.
The living space extends outside with two covered porches and additional patios accessible through any of the 6 patio doors. This offers many outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful views of the natural Ozark hills scenery.
With the central feature of the home being a round, galvanized grain silo, it was a challenge for the builder and installer to devise a weatherproof and still aesthetically pleasing method to install flat windows into a curving wall section. To accomplish this task, they devised extended window bucks that reached beyond the curve to allow for the windows to be installed onto a flat surface. The window bucks were then flashed in a bronze metal to protect the buck and fully flash the window while still complementing the look of the galvanized silo.
Window and doors were all strategically designed into the home to capture the beautiful, natural scenery. Most of the placements also allowed for full southern exposure.
