Pretty cool.
Not my idea of a luxury home.
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed watching the entire construction.

Not my idea of a luxury home.It’s a family space, not a home.
Even after looking up this term online, I'm still unclear what a "family space" is. Something like a tree-fort? A tent in the woods? Perhaps a concept outside my generation.
I watch quite a few renovation podcasts, mostly from rural France. Some work on an extremely tight budget, others use only high-end materials. These young men seemed to have spent a small fortune on this project, even though they did all the work themselves. Their skill level is mind boggling and the outcome was perfection, well almost. I didn’t like the spiral staircase at all. It is too bulky and esthetically unpleasing. The only other thing I probably would not have done was the pully system that really limits the already small floor space on each floor.
People say ooh, he’s a doctor or a lawyer, they must be so smart. I look at carpenters and say, these guys are amazing. They really are brilliant.

sorry about the double post. The minute my finger hit the key I realized mu faux pas.
It has castle appeal, but having one room per floor and requiring a staircase up through each floor’s footprint (and each bedroom) isn’t ideal.
It happens to everyone I think.
Wow!
Thanks! I do kinda like the look of the ruined silo with a tree growing at the top though. 🏰
Whenever I have a fox paw, I just blame the fox.
My Grandad used to tell me this joke:
He’d point to a silo and say that some guy died in there.
He went inside looking for a corner to pee in.
Very functional. I don't think you would want to climb those steps with mixed drinks in your hands.....
