The Water Castle

I just moved into a house, well, a castle really, that was built by one man and the castle is built out of water! After living off the grid and being 100% self-sufficient for 8 years, the architect of this castle returned to society to build a gorgeous castle built out of water. The Water Castle (the walls are entirely filled with water) was built to harness the enormous thermal mass and heating/cooling properties of water to eliminate the need for an AC or furnace. The concrete walls, arching windows, and 30 foot tall metal doors are reminiscent of medieval architecture. The castle sits on top of a grassy hill overlooking a few acres of pine tree forest, where rescued animals run free in their sanctuary. After living here for a few months, I can whole-heartedly say that the Water Castle is truly a slice of heaven.
