Phillip, who describes himself as a “frustrated architect,” is in the process of building this 185ft structure himself. “I just designed it out of my head,” he explains in the clip. “We didn’t have blueprints, we drew it out on cardboard, plywood, just as we were going.”

What began as a traditional Alaskan log cabin soon became a tower. And at the top, you can see for over 300 miles. Magical.
