Investigating case studies the cube Project

                When designing the space, the space needs to be designed according to the needs of the person. In this article they explain that they are researching ad creating projects on compact living to give a raise and a new beginning of new housing architecture. The cube project was created by Doctor Mike Page when he was challenged to build a house not bigger than 3X3X3 metres on the inside in which a person could live whilst not making any harm to the environment. The house was constructed with sustainable material which helped the house to be more comfortable and uses less electricity. The house provides everything two persons need which includes a lounge, table 2 custom made chairs, small double bed, Full size shower, Kitchen microwave oven,  storage cabinets, washing machine and a composite toilet. The floor is made out of Cork and there is 2 metres height in the whole house. In the article is said that it is ‘the best low carbon living’ as it is designed to generate all the energy by using solar panels which are placed at the top of the house. The house is constructed from timber which is insulated from the floor and walls to create a cosier home and a not a noisy one either. I wouldn’t  imagine myself living in a very small house like this but I would imagine students who live abroad living  like this instead of a tiny dorm with shared bathrooms and having your own kitchen and your own house, I would feel claustrophobic in this house but  I would live in it if I am studying abroad. This was a house which was built to
investigating on how much space you will need to actually live in. In my opinion the house looks dull from the outside but from the inside looked cool with wooden flooring and wooden stairs. The house is very energy efficient as it has solar panels on top so it is very energy efficient.
