Unusual Housing Project in the Netherlands: Cube Houses
Cube houses, or Kubuswoningen in Dutch, are innovative houses built first in Helmond and then in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The architect of the project was Piet Blom and the main concept of the project was to create a high-density housing with enough space on the ground level but also optimize the living space inside. Blom designed a housing by tilting the cube of a conventional house corner upwards and resting it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon.
The houses were built asymmetrically to resemble a forest. Each house represents a tree and together they form a forest. The project is an example of a Structuralist movement and it is considered innovative and progressive by many.
