Fairytale Home

Can you imagine how magical it would be to live in this pyramid at the top of the Smith Tower in Seattle?

It's even an adventure getting there!

"To get to the penthouse apartment, the family rides up 35 stories...debarks next to an observation deck and a Chinese-themed banquet room, passes through a portal marked “private residence,” and climbs two stories into the neo-Gothic pyramid. "

Go see the pictures of the rest of the apartment.  Like a very posh bell tower.  One with a Chihuly chandelier and a Calder mobile.  Wow.

  1. This is beyond cool. I love the Dale Chihuly piece. Oddly enough, there is a similar one in the Columbus Museum of Art in Indiana. Columbus, IN is a hidden gem if you haven't been.

  2. I have, actually, and you're so right, Columbus is a hidden gem with so many cool modern architectural examples and art pieces.
