The Polyhedron Habitable was created as a space for the parents and young children to spend some quiet bonding time. “The outcome is a Regular Polyhedron –a “Truncated Cubic-octahedron”– transformed into a inhabitable space; a self-standing volume with one of his faces opened to the surroundings, and little windows on the sides and at the top that supply day light and optimal air circulation conditions.” Our tiny home build on the west coast of Canada.
