Observation Tower
Specifications: 133 sq. ft. interior, , 99 sq. ft. upper floor, total = 232 sq. ft. interior, plus roof deck, Footprint: 15′-6” diameter
Description: The Observation Tower for my Dome Fort (coming soon) could also be used for other purposes such as an office, pantry or even spare bedroom. The kids would love it. A spiraling staircase joins the first three floors, and a ladder provides access to the roof deck. Total height is 31’. The same tower is used in my Native Spirit home design.

Description: This guard tower for my Dome Fort could also be used for other purposes such as an office, pantry or even spare bedroom. The kids would love it (and big kids, too). A spiraling staircase joins the first and second floors, and a ladder provides access to the roof deck. Total height is 22’. The Round Guard Tower is the same as the Observation Tower except it is one floor (9’) shorter.
Can this design have a larger footprint, 20 or 25 feet in diameter?
Thank you.
Yes it could. A similar design with a larger diameter is shown at https://naturalbuildingblog.siterubix.com/tower-house/
looks great, but did anyone ever build earthbag towers like that?
We have sold a few of these plans, but I am not sure if they were built. In theory, such a tower made with earthbags should be very stable.
Absolutely love the work you do. These designs are great!
Thank you.
