Nestron’s new Cube Two X designed by Dennis Bong is a new generation of Tiny Living built upon the existing Cube Two’s functionality and aesthetics with more upgrades keeping in mind a bigger family instead of a two-person household.
The Singapore-based architecture studio has designed this modern home by drawing inspiration from sci-fi and spacecraft imagery.
Cube Two XD is a prefab unit available in two models—a one-bedroom or two-bedroom configuration, and is clad with steel and fiber-reinforced plastic.
Ever since the launch of their Cube series, the studio received several requests for a larger unit with the option for two bedrooms to accommodate a family of four comfortably and that’s why they made Cube Two X.
Each house is fully prefabricated, and delivered in the ready-to-live formula.
The products come in with built-in furniture and a smart home system.
The one-bedroom and two-bedroom Cube Two X models have living space spanning over 376 square feet.
The structure consists of a steel frame wrapped with fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) siding which can withstand extreme heat and natural disasters. All of their models are made with high-resistance materials, the FRP exterior wall panels are less likely to rust or corrode while holding up in high temperatures, harsh environments, and extreme weather conditions, including heatwaves, hurricanes, and earthquakes.
As a new extension to the Cube 2 series, C2X enhances the coherence and visual interaction with its surroundings by installing French windows and a long horizontal window.
The installation of windows brings greater charm to the entire space, flooding it with natural light and giving you a more open view while enjoying the scenery around you.
The breakthrough long horizontal glass panel window installation technology to meet light requirements, while the height of the window is better proportioned to the outer wall, which increases privacy and thus providing a more comfortable space.
Built-in furniture preserves floor space in the tiny home.
The architects outfitted the dining area with a built-in table for two and included a sleek built-in sofa for the living area.
Optional features include electric-heated flooring, a smart mirror, a music system, and a concealed electric stove.
“The invisible stove is a unique space-saving idea, it’s a seamless kitchen counter when you’re not cooking, but when you are, the counter transforms into a stovetop,” explains the designers.Even the bathroom features a smart mirror and an electric pulse toilet – every part of the home is a reminder that you are living in the future.

It’s curved lines and integrated voice-controlled tech gives the home n ultra-futuristic feel.
Like all other models, it is designed to be shipped anywhere in the world and completely move-in ready.
There’s no installation needed upon arrival, much like how a washing machine works, the owners just need local contractors to wind up the power sockets and the water supply and then Cube Two X is a fully functioning home.
Over 90% of the materials used are recyclable — for example, the interior wood wall panels are made from non-virgin wood and recycled plastic that’s environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.
