Cubity was developed by students at the TU Darmstadt as an out-of-competition entry for the Solar Decathlon 2014 in Versailles as a student dormitory. The individual areas have since been optimized and the main space includes the common areas: the private 7.5-square-meter “cubes” consist of a bed, desk, shower, and toilet, and are grouped around a 16 x 16 m public space made up of a “market place” and a kitchen. The spaces in between the buildings form semi-public areas. Cubity is currently being built in Frankfurt where its social and environmental aspects will be studied for a three-year period. The places will be allocated by the Studentenwerk Frankfurt, and 3 cubes are reserved for refugee students.
