Architects: Studio MK27
Location: São Paulo, Brazil
Area: 1291.0 square meters
Year: 2011
This one-story house was quite a challenge for the architects due to the paucity of space but still, they managed to create a spectacular ultra-modern house that is practically invisible from the streets.
The front part of the house is covered by a concrete roof that serves as a great place to chill but it is not too safe for kids due to the absence of fencing. Meanwhile, the glass doors will allow you to fully immerse the house with nature and create a beautiful blend of interior and exterior living space.
The open kitchen is well-equipped and the Scandinavian furniture design compliments the natural wall texture of the house. The house comes with a rooftop garden and was even shortlisted in the Housing category of the 2012 World Architecture Festival.
