5. White Box House

If you want a different box house facade, you can try this white box house design. The roof uses a slightly sloping concrete on the back so that rainwater can fall down. There are four small mirrors on the front of the house to add to the aesthetics.

Instead of using a glass door, this design uses a one-way mirror door. So, people outside see that the door is a mirror, but it's actually a mirror from the inside of the house.

6. Box House 2 Floors

For those who have a 2-storey house, a box house facade can also be applied like this one design. Instead of making it into one big box building, dividing it into two different designs can be a step in the right direction.

There are several large glass windows to ensure that the room gets optimal natural light. Part of the garage door of the house is also made of glass to add an elegant impression to the house.

9. Modern Box House

Different from other box houses that have large windows, modern box houses do not have large windows on the facade of the house. Glass doors are in the center of the house with glassless walls painted in one color.

Instead, natural lighting is obtained from the flat top of the house and some of it is deliberately installed with glass. So even though it looks closed, the occupants inside the house can get sunlight.

10. Monochrome Box House

Bored with box house paint that is always bright and white? Monochrome box house facade design can be a solution. Parts of the house are almost entirely painted black, except for the front near the door of the house which is white.

There are not so many glass windows in this residence because natural lighting is sufficient from the size of the glass windows. Monochrome paint on the facade besides being unique also gives the house a modern and contemporary impression, as well as elegance.
