20 Modern And Contemporary Cube-Shaped Houses

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.

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.
