At first glance, it is a house like dozens of others in the crowded favelas of Brazil. But this seemingly modest dwelling of 66sq m, with its exposed brick walls, has just been recognised as the "house of the year" in an international architecture competition.
The house honoured by specialised website ArchDaily belongs to Kdu dos Anjos, a 32-year-old artist living in the bustling Aglomerado da Serra favela, at the bottom of a hill on the edge of the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
