Highlights:
The cube houses are like huge Rubik's cubes, which are arranged obliquely with each other. The unique shape is undoubtedly a classic landmark building in Rotterdam. Historical Background The cube house was built in 1984 and designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom. The whole building is connected by 40 square houses inclined at 45°, which is an earlier cube-shaped house in the Netherlands. Design concept Blom believes that his design is like an abstract tree, and all the houses are combined into a forest. Has a strong visual effect. The cube house is reminiscent of a tree house that can be accessed through pillars. The entire building is actually a pedestrian bridge across the street. In a sense, the cube house is an architectural experiment in which Blom thinks about form, aesthetics and spatial effects, rather than for functional and practical purposes.
