# Cubic Apartments Cubitat Can Transform Any Space Into A Fully Functional Apartment By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-01-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubitat References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/cubitat-urban-capital/35763/) & [urbancapital](http://urbancapital.ca/) Cubitat is a multi-purpose cube that is capable of transforming any old space into a fully functioning apartment. This 'plug and play' concept cube was developed by the Canadian architectural studio [Urban Capital](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-revivo-1) in partnership with Italian designer Luca Nichetto. Each multipurpose cube measures 3 x 3 x 3 meters and comes fully equipped with a kitchen, bedroom, living room/entertaining area, bathroom, laundry and [ample storage space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cerceaux). The design saves a lot of space and allows for the creation of a [compact home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambra) without the need for time-consuming and expensive renovations. Each Cubitat leverages four vertical faces to offer different functions and purposes. One face features a kitchen with a sink, oven, stove top, refrigerator and dishwasher. Another faces include entertaining lounges equipped with flat screen TVs, and a module dedicated to wardrobe and storage. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Living:** The rise of compact living spaces and micro-apartments is an opportunity for developers to create innovative designs that maximize limited space. - **Plug-and-play Spaces:** The popularity of Cubitat highlights the demand for easy-to-install, all-inclusive living spaces, opening up opportunities for modular architecture and rapid construction methods. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** Multipurpose furniture like the Cubitat allows people to live comfortably in small spaces without sacrificing functionality, pointing to the potential of designing more furniture with multiple uses. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** The Cubitat concept has the potential to disrupt the real estate industry by offering an affordable and convenient alternative to traditional apartments and homes. - **Interior Design:** As compact living becomes more popular, there is a need for innovative interior design solutions that maximize limited space while still providing comfort and functionality. - **Manufacturing:** The creation and mass production of modular living spaces like the Cubitat can open up opportunities for manufacturing companies to develop new and innovative production methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Sustainable Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana.md) - [Modern Mobile Futuristic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nestron.md) - [Thoughtful Micro Studio Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-studio-apartment.md) - [Reimagined Minimal Parisian Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cocoon.md) - [Two-Bedroom Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-rubik.md) - [Interlocking Living Room Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interlocking-living-room-furniture.md) - [Smartly Designed Compact Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-apartments2.md) - [Multifunctional Small Studio Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-mescla.md) - [Reinvented Compact Living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype.md)
