Any compact metric (CM) space can be thought of as sitting in the Hilbert cube, and then it can be thought of as an intersection of polyhedral neighbourhoods so although CM spaces can be pathological from some points of view they are sort of infinitely near the polyhedral space island!!! It would be fun to try to extend the map with bridges between islands, (perhaps adjoint functors might serve for this) and then talk of reefs that are almost above sea level, etc.
