I just stumbled across the Loft Cube and felt it worth a mention.
The space seems ideal for a single human, but privacy is next to nil. That being said, the interior seems refreshing, thoroughly well-engineered and I consider it a successful realization of the prevailing aesthetics and design philosophies of this modern age.
I’m just curious when the backlash to this all-pervasive post-minimalism will begin. Not that I’m necessarily all for a revolution in design, because I feel like I can take a breath and organize my thoughts in our current iWorld. But it’s just a matter of time before the return of the 2K equivalent of paisley.

The Loftcube is one of a new trend toward prefab modern architecture (like the Dwell house). For decades, people have been scared by prefab buildings, but projects like this are letting them see prefab as something new and interesting, and not the kind of thing that litters the land in trailer parks.
On another note, I think it’s interesting that the Loftcube is a parasite, needing electricity, water and sewer from it’s host building…

It’s the urban trailer!
But seriously, I think it would be a super-cool lake house. Neovictorian sensibilities be damned.

It actually is pretty cool, though for a young urbanite. it’s a pod, a hot-box escape pod as it were.
