Cube Houses – Rotterdam, Netherlands

Rotterdam architecture is well-known for being among the most original and imaginative in the Netherlands. Its Cube Houses are still one of the city’s most eye-catching developments after more than 30 years. It is easy to see why: these remarkable residences are cubes that have been slanted 45 degrees on their sides, maximizing the available area. As a result, the buildings appear, feel, and act differently than anything else on the planet.

The cubes are on hexagonal poles. The dwellings are separated into three floors on the inside, connecting a tiny stairway. When you enter, the first thing you will notice is that all of the walls are slanted. When you approach the top half of the structure, your first instinct is to keep your head down.
