The very futuristic and cubic apartments built by the architect Moshe Safdie for the "Expo 67", the world's fair that took place in Montreal in 1967. His concept of modular design is composed by 354 identical prefabricated concrete cubes arranged in various combinations to get 158 apartments. It's still very impressive to see such a building today...

    @koduckgirl the apartments are still in use, but I can't tell you how big they are as it's totally private property, no way to get a visit inside, only if you know someone living there...
