The next step in micro living is completely re-imagining what the interior of a home should be. That’s where the “Cubitat” comes in.
Unveiled at this year’s Interior Design Show in Toronto, the Cubitat is quite possibly the most versatile and useful 10′ x 10′ x 10′ piece of furniture ever. It’s a prefab cube outfitted with all the conveniences of a living space in a tiny package.
The developers are calling the cube “plug and play,” as in all you need to do is hook up electricity and plumbing and find an outer shell, and then you’ve got a fully functional home.
