Article source: Garza Iga Arquitectos This house was conceived from the start to be sold as an investment for a client. The interior layout is very commercial. But we wanted to make something different, something that stood out from the rest of the houses in the neighborhood. We chose to design a house that would be built quickly making the construction cheaper. The construction process can be summarized in three basic steps.  Image Courtesy © Delfoz

Then the floorslabs where added, and last, all the walls where built. The exterior walls are made of aparent red bricks. this was so we didnt have to worry about adding any more finishes, thus saving more construction time.

The house was recently finished and is for sale at a price of $150,000 USD.
