This is a quickie post because frankly, you have to go watch the slides of this amazing cube home by Werner Aisslinger to appreciate the full Loftcube Project experience.
Here are a few photos to wet your inner cube appetite. It’s an impressively wide open floor plan so imagine flow from every direction.

Ping Mag referred to Peter Blanc’s beautiful creations as “eco-art” and I really like that term, so I’ll reproduce it here. Patrick Blanc’s talent extends beyond the act of overgrowing plants on the side of buildings and shaping them into gorgeous murals.
