The Flying House Shows There’s Great Value In The Little Things

To understand why this is called the Flying House you have to look down, at that little gap in the facade which makes it seem as if the house is levitating. Just a few centimeters end up having a huge impact on this entire building. The house is located in São Carlos, Brazil and was designed and built by studio Raquel Pelosi Arquitetura e Design Visual in 2018.

They also add a bit of diversity to the facades, breaking the solid white volumes.
