Transformation Tuesday

The term "Glow up" was popular for the majority of 2016. It means when a person gets more attractive as they get older. Here are 3 abandoned buildings that had the Glow up of their lifetime!


    1.) What was once an old, abandoned, and decaying post office in London is now a booming and trendy bakery. Named Margret Bakery after the owner, this small business is a prime example of how one persons dream can transform an empty space into a booming chill-spot.

    2.) A grain silo is used to store large quantity of corn or wheat. You can most commonly find these on farms that have been around for a while. These structures are becoming less common every year as technology for farming improves. However there are those who hate to see a perfectly good opportunity slip away. Take architect Chris Kasier who transformed an abandoned 1950's silo into the perfect home for him and his wife.

Before Chris got his hands on the silo, it resembled something found in the mid of a tornado.

Then he got to working and made it a functioning house. Complete with a kitchen, lounge room, upstairs bedroom, and a relaxing cozy vibe.

     3.) Another unusual structure turned into a cozy house juts out through the trees in the Brasschaat forest of Belgium. A neglected water tower was taken over by the brilliant mind of Crepain Binst.




Before and after.

Due to the tint of the glass that make up the walls of the house, there is a mysterious green-blue glow in the night. Although the inside may look plain, there is a reason for it. Crepain didn't want to distract of the beauty of the nature around the house.

So, next time you notice an old building that is slowly sinking into the ground, think of all the possibilities for it!
