Yannick Martin has put some of the most famous architectural homes into an extremely confined space - a cube to be exact. The architect and designer himself decided to see what these buildings would look like with certain limits put upon them, which is how he came up with the square design.
According to the artist as stated on DesignBoom, "by deforming and stretching the famous dwellings, the observer is able to understand the choices that the architects made concerning proportion and volume, and the decisions they led them to their familiar designs." This helps people see these structures from a different perspective, and will hopefully make people appreciate that architects are constantly working within the confines they are given.

What's Driving This Trend
- Deconstructed Architecture
- Exploration of famous architectural homes that have been deconstructed and put into confined spaces can inspire architects to create unique designs with limited space.
- Building Within Constraints
- The concept of building within constraints can inspire architects to create new designs that can work in limited spaces.
- Alternative Perspectives on Architecture
- A shift in perspective to smaller spaces by contemplating tiny architectural cubes can inspire architects to re-envision how they approach design.
Who This Affects Most
- Architecture
- The architecture industry can take inspiration from these deconstructions to create innovative designs that work with limited space.
- Design
- Designers can creatively see spaces from a different perspective by looking at architectural deconstructions of various famous buildings.
- Construction
- By looking at new forms of architecture in different confined spaces, the construction industry can develop and explore alternative building materials and methodologies.
