So what you want is a cube with beveled edges.  The size of the bevel is a
factor in finding the corners.

What used to be a square face will still be a square face, but it will be 
moved inward on all sides by the size of the bevel.  What used to be an edge
will now be a rectangular face; connect corresponding edges of the new square
faces to find the twelve new faces.  What used to be a vertex will now be a
triangular face; connect corresponding corners of the new square faces to 
find the eight new faces.  The final object will have 26 faces, with a total 
of 44 triangles.
