Meh. Make it so it fits in a shipping container survival shelter, and maybe you have a winner. ;-)
"Don't @#&* where you eat."
Looks cute, but just don’t own any personal items because there’s no room for them.
My habitat is only 425 square feet and one book out of place makes the entire space look trashed out.
It’s a great concept for camping, but not for long term living. It IS however, great for showing how space utilization can make a world of difference in any home. Most houses have tons of wasted space.
Turn it inside out (put the living space in the interior) and u have a prototype space habitat.
Nice architectural industrial design euro-trash project.
Its Sooo funny though -
The idiots that designed this home Borg cube built it as a monolithic structure that can’t be broken down in pieces to move through dwelling doorways.
It “can” be dropped in through a roof opening, according to the article.
These will be great fixtures in FEMA camp habitat suites!
That’ll work just fine when they round us up and put us in the Super Dome.
If you built a glass house like the Philip Johnson house, this module might make sense. I happen to love that house! But you have to have a great piece of property. I suspect this cube took inspirations from The Glass House.
The Band, Genesis, did a song about people getting kicked out of their homes and some central housing ministry putting new restrictions on humanoid height. This would be the perfect flat if you could make it out of even cheaper materials and include an incinerator to eliminate uppity folk.
This is all a push by the envirowhackos to force people into cities and out of the suburbs to “save the planet from globull warming”.
Would need 100 x100 space to make it livable. Would reduce installation costs, though.
This is good, but it needs to be much smaller and manufactured from recycled organic matter.
We can get the masses of people into these, while Al Gore and the elite fly jets and live in multiple luxury mega-mansions.
It’s not a house or dwelling. It’s a huge furniture construct. In fact, most of it could be assembled from commercial office furniture catalogues, less plumbing and kitchen fixtures.
In fact, it bears an uncanny resemblance to Herman Miller contract open office modules right down to the color scheme.
It’s the type of thought exercise done by unemployed snowflakes with BArch or MArch degrees. Used to see their resumes. It’s what they do until their folks talk their friends into giving them summer home design commissions.
Same isolated ivory tower world view that several decades ago resulted in a west coast design competition in aid of the homeless. The competition committee had pondered over the issues, interviewed street people and made videos before deciding the true problem was the grocery cart’s inherent inefficiency in dealing with the daily problems of the homeless.
Solution:
A design competition to create the perfect grocery cart substitute, free of the stigma of theft, and celebrating in a fashion the homeless lifestyle choice.. Today I realize that Celine Deion would jump at the chance to be a celebrity sponsor. Back the I laughed myself silly.
Never get my toys in that little box.
You have to have an enclosed space OUTSIDE the cube to contain this cubitat.
