This will get you started:
N = 10;
[X,Y,Z] = sphere(N-1);
Xr = randi(20, 10, 1);
Yr = randi(20, 10, 1);
Zr = randi(20, 10, 1);
for k1 = 1:N
    Xv{k1} = X + Xr(k1);
    Yv{k1} = Y + Yr(k1);
    Zv{k1} = Z + Zr(k1);
end
figure(1)
surf(Xv{1}, Yv{1}, Zv{1})
hold on
for k1 = 2:N
    surf(Xv{k1}, Yv{k1}, Zv{k1})
end
hold off
set(gca, 'Box','on', 'BoxStyle','full', 'XTick',[], 'YTick',[], 'ZTick',[])
grid off
axis equal
This will produce a plot similar to ‘B’. You will have to experiment with the patch function to get the box colors in ‘A’.
See the documentation for the relevant functions for details on how to use them.
