Shape is very important in any design. Shape defines style along with other elements like color palette, material and influence. For example, a modern or a contemporary building will most likely feature a minimalist design, lacking any unnecessary and purely decorative features. The most popular shapes are geometric ones and cube-shaped houses are very frequently found everywhere in the world.

Cube-shaped houses have a very simple appearance. Their minimalist façade let you know that style will also be seen inside and prepare a simple mood and décor. Other extremely common feature for modern and contemporary houses represents the large or oversized windows.

Sometimes the windows have square shapes in order to match the shape of the house. Symmetry is not important in such types of designs but cohesiveness is always something to want to incorporate into a project.

When we had the idea of putting together all these houses and their designs, we wanted to make a collection of compact structures with geometric shapes and minimalist facades. So a cube-shaped house is not necessarily a house shaped exactly like a cube. Nevertheless, this form is always found in their designs, whether we’re talking about the windows, the shape itself or some other detail.
