The Hexacube module exists as one of the few experimental takes on future-proof, plasticised living along with the more-renowned\u00a0Futuro<\/a>, Bolwoningen<\/a> and Monsanto House<\/a>. The brainchild of\u00a0Georges Candilis and Anja Blomstedt – the former of whom had worked with Le Corbusier on such projects as the Unit\u00e9 d’habitation<\/a>\u00a0– <\/em>the design consisted of two fibreglass hulls with an interior footprint of 7m\u00b2 and was detailed to permit connection of multiple modules\u00a0and thus allow for a more dynamic plan and increased volumes. Originally coming into being in response to a brief that requested ‘space cells’ for a nearby bathing resort, the components were manufactured by Dubigeon Plastiques and are one of the earlier examples of prefabricated, modular construction.<\/p>\n
