It's a similar design, but if you look closely you can clearly see that there
are two 1x? tiles resting directly on top of the box. The studs on the box are
hollow, so he probably just shifted some 1x4 tiles over half a stud, or used a
1x6 or 1x8 tile to link the two sides together. For that matter, it would be
just as easy to use some 1x3 or longer plates right on top of the box to get the
half-stud offset back, but still leave studs on top to lock it in place a little
better. He couldn't do it in that model due to the step-back immediately above
the tiles, but it'd work nicely for putting one in a flat surface.
