Slabtown Customs Cube

This Slabtown Customs creation is based on the popular French Cube with some modifications, the biggest being the size. This unit is a 12′ cube, 12×12 footprint and 12′ tall with a very roomy second level for sleeping quarters and storage/closet space, with stair access to upper level

The attached pictures were taken before total completion of the unit so there are some things yet to be done such as a little trim, bathroom door, as well as some kitchen items I mention below.

The house is constructed on wooden skids, it has 2×8 floor joists, 16″ on center with steel hurricane ties on each end of every joist, 3/4″ thick floor decking, standard site built house framing, metal roof, 36″ entry door with window. The house has two 3×3 windows as well as a 2×2 plus the window in the door on the lower level and two 3×3 plus one 2×3 window in the upper level filling the house with lots of natural light. The house is fully insulated with fiberglass in the floor, walls and ceiling, it is wired and plumbed like a site built home but set up with rv type hook-ups including a 50 amp 110v electric service.
