The easiest modular way to fold this polyhedron ... ignoring the distortion of the cube ... would be to allow the top and bottom triangular faces to be dimpled / sunken. From the angle it is drawn you would only see one of the extra edges this creates ... so the visual match would be ok. You could do this using six Columbus modules ... see http://www.origamiheaven.com/pdfs/columbus.pdf It's more difficult ... and the result will probably be less clean ... if you want the triangular faces to be flat.
