A Canadian firm has created a ten-foot cube that can turn into a fully functioning apartment, complete with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and entertaining area.
Toronto-based architectural studio Urban Capital, in collaboration with Italian designer Luca Nichetto, unveiled the cube which could transform any space into an apartment.
The multi-purpose cube, called Cubitat, measures 10 feet and is equipped with a kitchen, bedroom, entertaining area, bathroom, laundry and storage space, 'Gizmag' reported.
The space-efficient design can easily and quickly furnish a small building into a compact home without the need for further renovations or additions.
Resembling a Rubik's cube, each of Cubitat's four vertical faces has a different purpose and function.
One side features a fully equipped kitchen with built-in sink, oven, stove top, dishwasher, refrigerator and ample cupboard space.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the entertaining lounge wall, equipped with flat screen television, integrated book shelves, further storage space and a hidden double bed which slides out from underneath the cabinet.
An entire side of the cube is dedicated to wardrobe and storage space, while the fourth side features a hidden laundry and access to the bathroom which is located inside the structure of the Cubitat.
