In design, the significance of shape cannot be overstated. It plays a pivotal role in defining the style, complementing the color palette, materials, and overall influence. For instance, modern and contemporary buildings often embrace a minimalist approach, eschewing superfluous and purely decorative elements. Among the most favored shapes are geometric forms, with cube-shaped houses becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide.

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.
