Jono Williams has designed and built an all-white tower, named Sky sphere in Linton, New Zealand. It just got completed in February and aims at giving the customers a feel and glimpse of futuristic holiday and living. It is an out of the world experience which guarantees the rush of tourists all around the year and from around the globe. It has all the hi tech and ultra-modern amenities with lighting fixtures being controlled by apps, a beer dispenser which automatically identifies your voice and brings you beer , the ability to go back to ‘Zombie mode’ and also the facility of getting the front door locked by just a message from the owner.
The surprising and interesting part is the story behind the concept and how it evolved into this beautiful tower house. Williams says that he is unsure of from where he had got the idea and how the concept was born. But he wanted it to happen and so put in all his efforts, energy and passion into it. The idea or his vision was turned into reality by modeling it on a computer. It has been built by Williams by using recycled and eco-friendly materials and it only uses solar power as the energy source. 
The owner says that he is completely satisfied with the outcome and also that the house is strong as well as portable. The tree house is capable of withstanding an earthquake with an 8.5 magnitude and also winds as strong as 124 mph. Still the interesting part is that, the tower can easily be detached and uprooted by Williams and can be taken elsewhere. The total cost of the project came around to $50,000 and it took almost 3000 hours to build his home from scratch. It is also true that Skysphere can be used for a very long time the only facility which is not built now is a bathroom or shower. Williams is taking steps to build and install internal plumbing, so that his dream home would be complete.
