OrganiCube // Christian Precht

Austrian designer Christian Precht has designed a compact living environment. The OrganiCube consists of nine square metre apartment-space which is made of Corian. It comprises facilities for living, sleeping, working and bathing.

The designer describes his project as followed:

‘The project explores the creative potential of the material world on the one hand and a study of living in a compressed space on the other hand.
Living on a small groundfloor things have to get shifted to achieve the largest possible shell.
It is an alternate look of an income-appropriate living unit of 3×3×3m. The idea is to take facilities that inherently belong to living and to its tradition and transform it into a coherent design. Trough its cubic shape, the OrganiCube can be easily stacked and implemented in many environments.
The infinitive space is conceived as a  technological double skin, mainly manufactured out of DuPont’s Corian.
The design shows what the abilities of material in the future are: fluid, dynamic and curvelinearity in one complex shape which inherents all needs for modern living. So the organizational and formal structure is based on funtional elements. OrganiCube defines a new architectural condition outside orthogonal, off-grid and harmonic inside.
Getting all the facilities on a groundfloor of  9sqm, functional elements have to be compact and compressed. Through compression things get folded.
These foldings are a functional alement as well and the Cube provides a high standard of accommodation for one or two people, defining main facilities: living/sleeping/working and a separate bathroom. At one place a line shapes for example the wardrobe and a few steps further it flows into a completely different living setup. All featured curves have their distinctive function and purpose. Through this moving and fluid interior the cube should bring harmony to residents in a sensual way.’

This project has been designed in 2006.
