Cube Lofts is a modern and efficient condo building that is located on a busy corner street. With its pixelated façade and cube-like form, it is a standout building that incorporates both form and function. The black and white panels that clad the building are both elegant and timeless, giving the building a sleek and modern appearance.
The active frontage of the building allows for a café on the ground floor, which creates a sense of community and interaction with the public. The building also features a canopy that not only provides shade and shelter but also adds to the building's aesthetic appeal.
The inset balconies are an excellent feature that provides a private outdoor space for the residents and adds texture and interest to the façade.
The use of triple-glazed punch windows for the units is an excellent way to improve the building's energy efficiency while providing unobstructed views of the park across the street. The rooftop's small allotment gardens are a unique and thoughtful addition that allows residents to grow their own vegetables, creating a sense of community and sustainability. Overall, Cube Lofts is an excellent example of a contemporary and efficient building that incorporates both form and function.
