Austrian designer
Christian Precht has designed a compact living environment called OrganiCube.
The conceptual nine square metre apartment is made of
Corian and comprises facilities for living, sleeping, working and bathing.
Here’s some more information from Precht:–OrganiCube explores the
creative potential of the material world on the one hand and a study of
living in a limited space on the other hand.
Living on a small ground floor things have to get shifted to achieve the largest possible shell.
It is an alternate look of an income-appropriate living unit of 3×3x3
meter. The idea is to take facilities that belong to living and to its
tradition inherently and transform it into a coherent design. Through
its cubic shape, the OrganiCube can be easily stacked and implemented
in many environments.
The infinitive space is conceived as a technological double skin, mainly manufactured out of DuPont’s Corian.
The design shows what the abilities of material in the future are:
fluid, dynamic and curvilinear in one complex shape, which includes all
needs for modern living. Therefore the organizational and formal
structure is based on functional elements. OrganiCube defines a new
architectural condition outside the orthogonal, off-grid and harmonic
inside.
Getting all the facilities on a ground floor of 9sqm, functional
elements have to be compact and compressed. Through compression things
get folded.These foldings are a functional element as well and the Cube
provides a high standard of accommodation for one or two people,
defining main facilities: living/sleeping/working and a separate
bathroom.At one place a line shapes for example the wardrobe and a few
steps further it flows into a completely different living setup. All
featured curves have their distinctive function and purpose. Through
this moving and fluid interior the cube should bring harmony to
residents in a sensual way.
