The House in the Clouds is a water tower at Thorpeness, Suffolk, England. It was built in 1923 to receive water pumped from Thorpeness Windmill and was designed to improve the looks of the water tower, disguising its tank with the appearance of a weatherboarded building more in keeping with Thorpeness's mock-Tudor and Jacobean style, except seeming to float above the trees. The original capacity of the water tank was 50,000 imperial gallons (230,000 l) but during the Second World War, the House in the Clouds was hit by gunfire from anti-aircraft guns based at Thorpeness. The water tank was repaired using its own steel, which resulted in a reduced capacity of 30,000 imperial gallons (140,000 l). In 1977 the water tower was made redundant by a mains water supply to the village, and additiona

  • Das House in the Clouds (engl.: „Haus in den Wolken“) ist ein ehemaliger Wasserturm bei in der Grafschaft Suffolk in Großbritannien. Da die Gegend eine beliebte Urlaubsregion ist, wollte man keinen gewöhnlichen Wasserturm in die Landschaft stellen. Die Spitze des 1923 errichteten Bauwerks wurde daher als Einfamilienhaus hergerichtet. Die Befürchtung, es würden sich wegen der ständigen Fließgeräusche keine Mieter finden lassen, stellte sich als falsch heraus. Im Jahre 1977 wurde der Wasserturm stillgelegt und die Tanks zu zusätzlichem Wohnraum umgewandelt. Heute wird das Haus in den Wolken als Ferienhaus vermietet. (de)

In 1977 the water tower was made redundant by a mains water supply to the village, and additional living space was created. In 1979 the main water tank was removed to fully convert the building into a house. The building currently has five bedrooms and three bathrooms; it contains a total of 85 steps from top to bottom and is around 70 ft high. It has been a Grade II Listed Building since 1995. The house was featured in the Suffolk programme during Series 3 of the Channel 4 TV Series Homes by the Sea in 2017. It also featured on BBC's Flog It! on 8 May 2018. (en)

  • House in the Clouds – budynek dawnej wieży ciśnień w Thorpeness w hrabstwie Suffolk w Wielkiej Brytanii. Powstał w 1923 roku w celu zamaskowania zbiornika wieży ciśnień, którego pierwotna pojemność wynosiła 230 000 litrów (po naprawie uszkodzeń w wyniku ostrzału przeciwlotniczego w czasie II wojny światowej pojemność została zmniejszona do 140 tys. l). Z czasem wieża ciśnień przestała pełnić swoją funkcję (w 1977 r. miejscowość została podłączona do centralnej sieci wodociągów) i po usunięciu zbiornika w 1979 r. budowla została przekształcona w unikatowy dom mieszkalny.
