I really like small architecture and the Box House by Alan Chu and Cristiano Kato is no exception.

The 3x5m box is the caretaker’s house on a property on Ilhabela Island, overlooking the São Sebastião Channel near São Paulo, Brazil. On the upper floor in the white suspended box is the bedroom and beneath it is the living room, kitchen and bathroom.

  1. This is such a cute project. I like how small it is. The fusion of old and starkly modern is perfect.

    • Agreed – the original stone in contrast with the pure white works really well.

  2. I love a minimal forms – yes – certainly I could live here
