A 13-meter tall wall built in 2001 in Passos (MG) went viral on social media after a photo was posted on X. The wall blocks the view from neighboring building windows to preserve the privacy of the house's backyard.
The 13-meter wall was built in 2001, shortly after the neighboring building was completed, when the homeowner discovered that the building's balconies faced his backyard. Before building the wall, there were failed negotiation attempts between the parties, including proposals for architectural solutions and even purchasing the apartments facing the house.
