15 Cubes

Imagining a house made of 15 interconnecting cubic rooms:

 

 

Hospital

I imagined this as a hospital, with ER on the right, then diagnostics, and then beds on the left:

 

Modular House

This house was assembled from seven 8×8 (bumps) one story modules in HO scale:

Built with seven 8×8 modules, stacked to overlap, and extra supports. 9 foot stories.

The view from the top shows the placement and overlap of the modules:

 This blog’s header image shows some of the 300+ pieces used to construct the house model.

Cubic House

Here are all four sides of a cubic house (HO scale) three stories high, 3×3 rooms per story:

It was assembled one story at a time, with plates separating each story. Some rooms were combined to make larger spaces.

The bricks along the edges are “survey stakes”. They indicate the locations of the walls under construction.

Modules

Here is a possible office building made from a set of modules that are of different heights, but otherwise the same:

(These modules are not HO scale.)

And here is why I like to toy with modules sometimes:

Modularity lets you quickly try several ideas.
