From the road, this house looks similar to a shipping crate, with a nondescript design and simple features. Inside is a bright home with high ceilings that reaches 137 square meters and runs the length of the entire plot of land. Referred to as the 'Hi-Lo House' because of its [gabled roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof), this residence looks as though it is split in two and built at separate levels. The bright white features, simple lines and large windows make this house a hidden gem on the inside. Allowing mass amounts of light into every room, the black window frames offer a modern, contrasting look. In the middle of the home, there is a large terrace, providing an outdoor courtyard between the kitchen and the living room. This hidden modern home showcases one-of-a-kind modern design features.
