Carapicuiba House by Angelo Bucci and Alvaro Puntoni

By Inthralld on Jun 25, 2012

Sao Paulo, Brazil is home to some of the most creative forms of architecture and design around the world, and the stunning Carapicuiba house proves this to still be true.

The home is essentially a collection of container like buildings elevated on concrete stilts that together form one of the most unique dwellings we have ever encountered.  The house was designed as combination project between Brazilian architects Angelo Bucci and Alvaro Puntoni . The Sao Paulo based home was completed back in 2008, and is very spacious spanning just under 4,500 square feet of livable space.  Reinforced concrete support the entire building, and floor to ceiling glass windows are used all throughout.
