Talk about a minimal impact on the environment! I'm not sure if The Cube would be for me, but there is no doubt it's an innovative concept. As a design student, I've found one of the most challenging spaces to design for are small, confined areas. What I found intriguing about this project is the versatility of the purposed-designed chairs and table in the living area. Because The Cube is only 3 x 3 x 3 meters, about 10 x 10 x 10 ft., flexibility of any furniture layouts would be virtually impossible. It's evident that The Cube's design team carefully took into consideration the user's needs within the space; and therefore, was able to successfully design for The Cube's maximum space use. However, one has to wonder if these cubes could be stacked, placed side by side, or reconfigured for multiple occupants. If they could be reconfigured, imagine the possibilities of The Cube. Some possible uses that came to my mind were a unique hotel next to an airport or even inside an airport, short-term housing for camping enthusiasts, or even something packed up and shipped to provide housing for victims of disaster.
If you had a Cube, what would you use it for?
