Cube Houses in Rotterdam are a unique and iconic architectural marvel that has become a popular tourist attraction. Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom in the 1970s, these houses are a part of the Kubuswoningen complex, which comprises of 38 cube-shaped houses tilted at a 45-degree angle.
Each cube house is three stories high and has a total floor area of around 100 square meters. The ground floor of the house is used as a living space, while the first floor is used as a sleeping area. The top floor of the house is a small triangular-shaped room that can be used as a study or an extra bedroom.
The houses are built on top of a pedestrian bridge, which is used as a communal area for residents. The bridge connects the houses and provides access to the main entrance of each house. The bridge also features a playground and a garden, making it a perfect place for children to play and residents to relax.
The exterior of the cube houses is made of yellow and gray bricks, and each house has a unique color scheme. The windows of the houses are placed at an angle, which provides a unique view of the surrounding area. The interior of the houses is designed to maximize space, with built-in furniture and storage solutions.
The Cube Houses are located in the heart of Rotterdam, close to the Markthal and the Old Harbor. They are easily accessible by public transport and are a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in architecture and design.
