This private residence, the PL House, designed by Fernando Maculan and Pedro Morais, is located in Brazil.
The PL House is an interesting creative design located in a low density housing area of Belo Horizonte. Fernando Maculan and Pedro Morais built the house on a steep slope that has a 60% constant inclination.
The PL House has a fantastic view and upper level glass walls that divide the kitchen, living room and den. Let’s just hope that incline doesn’t get in the way of this lovely home.
