Looking at the photos of this project, they reminded me the film Cube. The film starts with a man waking up in a foreign, cube-shaped room with six doors, one at each face of the cube. He then starts opening the doors and enters into another cube. The story goes on with this man meeting other people and they all try to escape from this cube maze. This film is a combination of psychological thriller, horror and science fiction. This film is very impressive to me and for a short while after watching this, I would be feared even imagining myself living in a cube.

However, Japanese architects Jo Nagasaka and Schemata Architecture Office may think something different. They have designed a house contained in a three meter cube. Their intention is have this cube work like a home. It has the minimum requirements to live - hinged roof, hammock, desk, sink and shower. Every part of the cube is painted white, both interior and exterior. The box is highly flexible on placement. With this size, it can be place anywhere. “We produced it as a conceptual model to imagine a new life style.” the designer said on the website.
