Boxed Micro-Homes

Yasuhiro Yamashita Builds a 'Cell Brick' House Out of Steel Boxes

As an addition to the artist's collection of micro-homes, Yasuhiro Yamashita's 'Cell Brick' house is mighty interesting. With a gridded steel-box layout, the inclusion of 'cell' in its name is highly appropriate.

Yasuhiro Yamashita also included punctures in the walls, providing a well-lit and airy environment. The two-story house is no larger than the width of a sidewalk, but its modern and unique design will still undeniably make it a coveted property.
