Rotterdam, Blaak Market, Cube Houses, Old Harbor, Netherlands
Rotterdam, outdoor market, Cube Houses and Old Harbor. Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, has the nation's largest outdoor market and next to it are the Cube Houses, unusual apartments in the shape of cubes standing on a point, tilted over by 45 degrees, very curious. Next to that is the Old Harbor, Oude Haven, a popular gathering place with terrace restaurants along the shore of a harbor first built in the 14th century.
The outdoor market a popular shopping place for locals as well, who pick up a lot of their fresh produce here, this and you can buy lunch at a price that's going to be lower than your typical restaurant.
Because it gets so crowded it makes a great place for people-watching, with customers of all ages and national origin in this cosmopolitan city.
Open from 9 to 5 Tuesdays and Saturdays. If you want to avoid the crowd get here early or come at the end of the afternoon. It will be worthwhile no matter when you can make it.
Next to it alongside the Markthal is a very popular outdoor public park, especially when you're here on a Saturday and families can gather together, workers have the day off, and it's just a holiday atmosphere, with the medieval Church of St. Lawrence in the background.
In the other direction, the white building is the Rotterdam Central Library, one of the city's best architectural curiosities. A six-story cascading façade with industrial design and angular yellow tubes makes it one of the most controversial buildings in the city. It contains half a million books in open stacks and one of the biggest record libraries in Europe. It's a multipurpose structure with a theater, a bookstore, there's Internet terraces on the first and top floors, and lecture halls and there's a café that sometimes has live music.
Adjacent, the Blaak Tower design by Piet Blom, who also designed the Cube Houses next door, which is where we're going next.
These cubes are actually apartments that people live in. Each is tipped up on a point, tilted at a crazy angle of about 45°. Inside, the floors are horizontal and yet the walls are all at an angle. It's efficient, using very little ground area while creating living space up above in a striking design.
From Google Earth we can see how it's located on a bridge straddling eight lanes of a busy highway, another aspect of how it's efficiently using space that might have been otherwise unoccupied.
It also serves as a pedestrian bridge to help you get across the road, and yes it's open free to the public. You're welcome to come on in, walk through, have a look around. There are some exhibits in one of the houses, you can pay a few euros if you want to go inside, but otherwise it's splendid from the outside.
Or you could rent a room. There are some vacation rentals, a little hotel operation and a youth hostel, and a few shops, along with the condominiums of the permanent residence, some of whom have lived here since it first opened 30 years ago.
Constructed out of wood, the architect Piet Blom envisioned each unit as a tree and altogether functioning like a forest.
There are 40 apartments here, each with about 1000 ft.² of floor area, but only 1/4 of that space is actually usable because of all the sharp angles of the walls, and it's generally squeezed up into three floors with narrow staircases connecting them.
That's the price one pays for living inside a most unusual work of art.
It's in a great location between those markets and the Old Harbor, which is a picturesque part of Rotterdam that harkens back to the old days, unlike most of this modern city.
From the cubes you can walk right down a gentle ramp that will lead you to this lovely restaurant terrace area right along the water's edge.
You can see what a popular place this is for eating and drinking, easy to reach from the cubes, but curiously from the street, there's only a small sign. You might even miss the entrance. You have to know where you're going to get down here to the water. The harbor is bordered by buildings with the restaurants and terraces so there is no expansive view from the street, but there are some openings and you'll find it.
Then you can walk along a nice promenade on the edge of the harbor. Walk around to the other side and get some great views looking back at the cubes and the terrace restaurants.
This neighborhood is one of the most vibrant and popular places to be for eating, drinking, and to meet up with your friends and make some new ones, a fine example of urban planning and development.
Recreational boating is always popular in the Netherlands and there are some commercial tours of the harbor on larger boats that we will show you in a different video.

Walking around Rotterdam Market Hall and Cube Houses | 4k | Ambient Lofi Music
Here is a Walking Tour inside Rotterdam's famous Market Hall and Cube Houses.
Rotterdam is a major port city in the Dutch province of South Holland. The Maritime Museum's vintage ships and exhibits trace the city's seafaring history. The 17th-century Delfshaven neighborhood is home to canalside shopping and Pilgrim Fathers Church, where pilgrims worshiped before sailing to America. After being almost completely reconstructed following WWII, the city is now known for bold, modern architecture.
A little info about Walking Around Rotterdam Market Hall.:
The Markthal (English: Market Hall) is a residential and office building with a market hall underneath, located in Rotterdam.The building was opened on October 1, 2014, by Queen Máxima of the Netherlands. Besides the large market hall, the complex houses 228 apartments, 4600 m2 retail space, 1600 m2 horeca and an underground 4-storey parking garage with a capacity of 1200+ cars.
The Markthal was designed by architectural firm MVRDV. The grey nature stone building has an archwise structure like a horseshoe. The building has a glass facade on both sides, these are made up of smaller glass windows. The smaller windows are mostly squared and around 1485 millimeters wide. All of these are hung around a structure of steel cables, 34 metres high and 42 metres wide, which makes it the largest glass-window cable structure in Europe. Each facade has 26 vertical and 22 horizontal cables. The facade was designed and installed by Octatube.
A little info about walking around the Rotterdam Cube Houses:
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. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside.
Three test versions were first constructed in 1974, and in 1977 18 houses were constructed in Helmond. The many houses required for a woonwoud (English: living woods) were never realized. The houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built. The cube houses in Helmond surrounded a theater, Theater 't Speelhuis, which was destroyed by a large fire on 29 December 2011.

Markthal Rotterdam, Netherlands
In Rotterdam in the Netherlands there is one especially strange building looking like something out of a futuristic science fiction movie but it's a food market also with many restaurants and bars set in a building like you have never seen before. It's one of the world's most unusual food markets. At the same time it's a condominium with 228 apartments. From the outside the building only looks a little bit unusual with that curved roof and as you walk along the side of it you might notice the apartments with their balconies up above. When you step into the building it really takes off, bringing you on a kaleidoscopic journey that's almost like entering a fantasy land and there's lots of great food from all parts of the world. The innovative shape of the roof is further complemented by the amazing mural depicting a cornucopia of the foods that are on offer in the market along with flowers and butterflies. This unique artwork covers 11,000 m² making it reputedly the largest picture in the world it was created by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam. Open all day every day until 8 PM and at night it looks even more spectacular. We will be showing you a lot of that evening scene later in the program.
The Markthal in Rotterdam is one of the most outstanding modern buildings you'll ever see. It's an incredible enclosed food court in a big U-shape, with apartments all up above and around, and a tremendous huge food market down here in the middle. They've got restaurants, they've got take-away foods, they've got snack bars, there is a supermarket downstairs, a wine bar, a lot of beer, a lot of people, fresh produce, cheese, everything you can imagine, a hundred different food booths, 20 different restaurants. It's just a great spot in the heart of Rotterdam.
It's got cheese, noodles, pasta, pizza, sushi, frozen yogurt, fish and chips, churros, fresh fruits, French baked goods, Italian, Spanish, Asian, Dutch, Indian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian, Chinese, Greek. There's salads, coffee, cappuccino, donuts and cupcakes, chocolates, licorice, seafood, sausages, spice, frittes, calamari, Portuguese custard tarts, nuts, herbs, dried fruits, waffles, wine shops, bakeries, tapas, hams, olives, tapenade, juices, mushrooms, Croquettes. There is a kitchen utility shop. It is one of the few retail stores here in a place you could easily spend a lot of euro. An Asian grocery store, bubble tea, sandwiches, burgers, crepes, and more.
The attraction of coming to the Markthal is only secondarily about the food, the wonderful food that's here, with the tremendous international variety that we will show you in a moment - but of course you can find lots of restaurants and food shops anywhere in town. The impact of the Markthal is more about the total experience, the setting, the building, the mural, the people, the wonderful combination of fast food, gourmet food and markets all around you framed in some kind of miraculous building. It's an amazing unique combination.
The artist Coenen explained, “You could just look at the wonderful, almost psychedelic picture for it’s beauty, which points out the miracle that food is there for you,” ‘It is a work with a spiritual, religious feel to it. However, its larger-than-life size is not a tale of religion; it’s about nature.
