Micro Dwellings -- A Micro Home Concept

Micro Dwellings by N55

Here’s another micro home concept from the artists of N55. It’s a housing system constructed from truncated octahedrons. Due to the perfect symmetry of a truncated octahedron multiple units can be joined to form larger more complex structures. It has 8 regular hexagonal faces and 6 square faces. When assembled these flat faces also form the supporting structure. The size is limited only by the material’s size and strength.
