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.

Nevertheless, this form is always found in their designs, whether we’re talking about the windows, the shape itself or some other detail.
