Built by Diez+Muller Arquitectos in Ecuador, this modern cubic house has a unique look but still easily meshes with the surrounding properties.
The cubic house was built as an extension to an existing home in a residential area in Quito, Ecuador and features a bedroom and a small social area. While not very large, the unique guest house is beautiful, modern and has elements of Ecuadorian interior design. The walls of the house are made from gray concrete, giving the house the appearance of a bunker but with an interesting twist. The floors and ceilings are made of wood which counters the effect of the concrete to give the house a warm and welcoming appearance.
The private cubic house melds nicely into the surrounding nature and its unique qualities make it the perfect guest home.
