This video is about Rotterdam: Cube Shaped Houses | Top Things To See | Rottedam Netherland. Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. Cube House Rotterdam | Super Cubes Rotterdam Netherlands | RoamerRealm

Tilted at a 55 degree angle Rotterdam’s “Cube Houses” (Kubuswoningen) seem to defy gravity.

Dreamed up by architect Piet Blom in the 1970s to help the city turn a downtown overpass into housing, this oblique housing was Blom’s attempt to defy the idea that “a building has to be recognizable as a house for it to qualify as housing.”

Blom perched each slanted cubic residence on a pillar to create individual “tree” houses and connected them all to form an urban “forest”. There are no straight exterior walls and opening or closing a window can be a battle with gravity.

The Cube Houses are now one of the city’s top tourist attractions, and an Instagram favorite. One of the two extra-large “super cubes” is now a hostel.
