"Cell Brick's other significant space-saving device is its striking checkerboard wall system, composed of bolted steel boxes interspersed with glass inserts, some of which are movable. Combining the building's skin, structure and storage all in one, the cubbies hold stacks of dishes, small appliances and bottled condiments as well as books, clocks and plastic drawers for smaller items, completely eliminating any need for free-standing cabinets and filling the house with a patchwork of quotidian objects."
