The company has seen continuous success throughout COVID-19. In December 2020, Choco Toh of Nestron's marketing team called Nestron a "worldwide phenomenon," and at one point, the company's website crashed from a rise in visits and "extremely overwhelming popularity."

This summer amid booming public interest, Nestron began shipping its artificial-intelligence-powered tiny homes overseas to the UK.

But the UK isn't its biggest market: Over 70% of Nestron's clients currently reside in the US, Toh told Insider in an email interview.

To tackle the growing American market, Nestron will begin "entering the US market with a distribution of its own very soon," Toh said.

And the company already has plans to ship its tiny homes to clients in locations like Tennessee, New York, and Canada.

"​​We still receive lots of [customer] inquiries ... and it's constantly increasing," Toh said, noting that most of the inquiries are for its Cube-based tiny homes.

At $98,000, the updated Cube Two X (C2X) is more expensive and larger than its popular $52,000 Cube Two (C2) predecessor.

The C2 stands at 263 square-feet, while the refreshed C2X is almost 377 square-feet.

Wanting a bigger tiny home might seem ironic, but customer demand for a larger, more customizable C2 pushed the Nestron team to create the C2X, according to Toh.

Now let's take a look inside the C2X units.

Like other homes in the Cube series, the C2X design was inspired by "science fiction and futuristic spacecraft elements," Toh said.

Unlike the previous Cubes, the new tiny home has two floor plan options: the first with one bedroom, and the second with two sleeping spaces.

The one-bedroom unit can accommodate up to three people, while the two-bedroom home can hold up to four.

Both layouts have an entryway, living room, kitchen and dining room, bathroom, at least one bedroom, and several large windows that keep the tiny home from feeling cramped.

But only the one-bedroom layout has an additional skylight and a double-doored refrigerator. The two-bedroom C2X has a single-door refrigerator instead.

This upgrade turns an ordinary mirror into a voice and touch-powered unit that can control the home's functions, check personal calendars, and more, according to Toh.
