Close Quarters

While the thought of living in a 3 x 3 x 3 meter space does not sound very appealing, designer Christian Precht makes it look rather comfortable with his OrganiCube concept.

The conceptual nine square metre apartment is made of Corian and comprises facilities for living, sleeping, working and bathing.

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.

Very interesting! Great use of space, but nowhere to hand pics on the wall. Are their outlets for use of TV, hairdryer, etc? All white is like a hospital, so I would suggest adding in some color like light blue.

I dig it. I would live (in one if it had a space for my fish tank...and wasn't so shiny and white.) But I am not at home all the time and when I am its to study, clean up, eat and sleep so that might be why I like it.

white walls and white floors… cleaning is going to be hell. but It’s a great idea nonetheless. I wont mind trying it out… looks cosy enough :) though we probably wont be able to hold dinner parties at home anymore. And we can’t have too many offspring… unless this is housing for singles only.

I'm guessing the toilet would be installed in the shower. It might be neat if your in a dorm or something like that. I hope the guy improves on it, with how wire, pipes, and vents fit in that thing.

Doesn't do anything for me -- seems like a person would have to conform to the sculptural design rather than the room being reflective of needs of the human being living (or perhaps just existing) in it. Feels soul-numbing to me. I could live in a much smaller space and make it far more homey and welcoming. (And Corian?? Why? I can imagine someone cracking their skull when the surface mists over with condensation from the shower.)

Soul numbing is the perfect word to describe this, Elagie.

I've lived in a small space before and could do without never living in one again, but if I had to do it, it wouldn't be like this.
