Silo House (506 square feet)
Cornell University

Silo House puts on a clinic in how to decorate round rooms, and gives another answer for the perennial question "Where should I put the bed?" With a few turns of a hand crank, this platform bed disappears into the ceiling. The bathroom is in the hallway between the bedroom and kitchen, whose center island contains a sink, stove, convection oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher—and can be converted into a large dining table.
