Hi ArizDon,

This may not be of much help...but my wife has talked for years about this grain silo that's been converted to living space in Ohio. I did a internet search on "Ohio Hotel Silo" and these links (among others) came up.

While it doesn't give you the specifics on getting windows, doors, balconies, etc--it might give you some ideas.

P.S., I think it is a GREAT idea. Probably in Arizona as much as anywhere. Anyway, perhaps these will get you going--or get some other posters to contribute as well.

Good luck! If you end up with something really cool, will you please post pictures; perhaps invite us over, LOL :)

Try googling the oslo student silo. and the quaker square in akron ohio. they are both made up of concrete silos but they should give you some ideas. and when youre finsished could you talk to me? I'm interested in doing this myself except with a concrete silo.

theres a company in britain that does this sort of stuff but i cant remember where. the best bet is google.
