Turns oil tank into Tower Home atop bluff in tiny Nordic island

Martin Otterbeck and Agnete Brun bought an old, rusty oil tank that once held 200,000 liters (53,000 gallons) of diesel and transformed it into a modern home with panoramic 360-degree views of the surrounding Norwegian fjord. As a trained carpenter, Martin did all the work himself, drawing on his nautical experience to craft custom built-ins that maximize space within the tank’s curved walls.

Walking through Skrova with Martin, we visited a neighbor building an annex to his home, which like Martin’s own home was inspired by boats; in this case, he created an” upside-down-boat” design for a monolithic roof.
