Box House: NOT a walk-in fridge, still awesome
“A can of sardines.” That’s what Z√© Maria, the home caretaker, used to call the cute Box House by Alan Chu and Cristiano Kato, located on an island on the northern coast of S√£o Paulo, Brazil, while it was still nothing but a work in progress. Not anymore.
The building site, at 100 meters above sea level and next to two enormous rocks, used to host an old one-story house with stone walls and clay roof tiles. Its successor is a two-floor home, with a 3m x 5m white box placed on top of the ground level, offering an amazing view of the continent and the Channel of S√£o Sebasti√£o.
