Wow. The Cube Project is an initiative of Dr Mike Page at the University of Hertfordshire who set out to build a compact home, no bigger than 3x3x3 meters (about 10x10x10 feet) on the inside, in which one person could live a comfortable, modern existence with a minimum impact on the environment.
I love stuff like this – the idea of building a fully-functional (and noted, quite small) home with the smallest of footprint (both size and eco-wise) is fascinating to me. I think it’s because I loved the idea of building my own tree house that I could one day live in.

Seriously! That’s like the “fort” I always dreamed of!
(I still take every opportunity to rearrange my couch cushions and build forts)
I know! Can’t you imagine placing that thing in the middle of the woods somewhere (with electricity, cable speed Internet, and plumbing of course)!
Definitely. XBox, Ps3, (probably not a Wii…not enough arm room), flatscreen, and a hug iMac and an iPad. I guess the house ceases to be green at that point. :-P
The houses we built in Jamaica were 10′ x 20′. And they were major improvements.
I absolutely LOVE this house. Sure, the idea of being able to see everything from my bed is a little weird, but at the same time, I want a studio apartment anyway, so what’s the difference? I’d probably add some decorative touches here and there, but it looks amazing.
And that lounge table is a dream come true. I can sit back, and then slide the table (like a hospital tray table) and use my computer that way.
So, when are we getting these in the USA, and how much will it cost me?
if someone know how can we buy one please inform me! otherwise i have to go to england,purchase and take it to LA with myself!
Very Cool.
I could picture one of these inside of a Barn. My toys and Workshop in the Barn and a comfy, economizing space to live within.
Sky’s the limit!
