Taming Turrets

Two's a Tower

By stacking a turret over another room, you get twice as much dramatically beautiful space without doubling your building costs. Building from the ground up is easier than extending a room out from the side of a house, and the stacked approach means you can get by with a single roof. There's just one catch: If you're a purist, you can't call it a turret any more. When a turret touches the ground, it technically becomes a tower.
