You will get dizzy if you live here: CUBE HOUSES (Museum) Rotterdam, Netherlands
CUBE HOUSE (You have to see it to believe it!!) Rotterdam, Netherlands.
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.

Kubus woningen - Cube houses, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Kubuswoningen zijn een set van innovatieve huizen gebouwd in Rotterdam en Helmond in Nederland, ontworpen door architect Piet Blom en gebaseerd op het concept van leven als een stedelijk dak: hoge dichtheid woningen met voldoende ruimte op de grond niveau.

Blom kantelde de kubus van een conventioneel huis 45 graden en liet het rusten op een zeshoekige pyloon. Zijn ontwerp vertegenwoordigt een dorp in een stad, waar elk huis een boom voorstelt, en alle huizen samen, een bos. Er zijn 38 kleine kubussen en twee zogenaamde 'super-kubussen', die allemaal aan elkaar vast zitten. Aangezien bewoners zo vaak worden gestoord door nieuwsgierige voorbijgangers, besloot een eigenaar om een ??showkubus te openen, die als een normaal huis, en maakt zijn brood van het aanbieden van rondleidingen aan bezoekers. De muren en ramen staan ??onder een hoek van 54,7 graden. De totale oppervlakte van het appartement is ongeveer 100 vierkante meter, maar ongeveer een kwart van de ruimte is onbruikbaar vanwege de muren onder de schuine plafonds. In 2006 werd onder de huizen een museum met schaakstukken geopend. In 2009 werden de grotere kubussen door Personal Architecture omgebouwd tot een hostel van de Nederlandse hostelketen Stayokay. De huizen in Rotterdam liggen aan de straat Overblaak, recht boven het metrostation Blaak.

This is one of the most interesting works of architecture I have ever seen. Dutch architects usually have great creativity and inspiration for something like this! So, I took a video of the interior of this building when I was there.
Rotterdam, The Netherlands.. City Tour (Part7/12) Kolk/Blaak station/cube houses (4K)
Rotterdam (/ˈrɒtərdæm/ or /ˌrɒtərˈdæm/; Dutch: [ˌrɔtərˈdɑm] is a city in the Netherlands, located in South Holland, within the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt river delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270 when a dam was constructed in the Rotte river by people settled around it for safety. In 1340 Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland and slowly grew into a major logistic and economic centre. Nowadays it is home to Europe's largest port and has a population of 633,471 (2017, city proper), ranking second in the Netherlands, just behind Amsterdam. The Greater Rijnmond area is home to approximately 1.4 million people and the Rotterdam The Hague Metropolitan Area makes for the 168th most populous urban area in the world. Rotterdam is part of the yet larger Randstad conurbation with a total population of 7,100,000.
The city of Rotterdam is known for the Erasmus University, riverside setting, lively cultural life and its maritime heritage. The near-complete destruction of Rotterdam's city centre during World War II (known as the Rotterdam Blitz) has resulted in a varied architectural landscape including sky-scrapers, which are an uncommon sight in other Dutch cities. Rotterdam is home to some world-famous architecture from renowned architects like Rem Koolhaas, Piet Blom, Ben van Berkel and others. Recently Rotterdam was listed eighth in The Rough Guide Top 10 Cities to Visit and fifth in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2016 and was voted 2015 European City of the Year by the Academy of Urbanism.
The port of Rotterdam is the largest cargo port in Europe and the 10th largest in the world. Rotterdam's logistic success is based on its strategic location on the North Sea, directly at the mouth of the Nieuwe Maas (New Meuse) channel leading into the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta. The rivers Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt give waterway access into the heart of Western Europe, including the highly industrialized Ruhr region. The extensive distribution system including rail, roads, and waterways have earned Rotterdam the nickname Gateway to Europe, and, conversely; Gateway to the World in Europe.
Cube houses
Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam 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 optimize 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.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a show cube, which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The houses contain three floors:
ground floor entrance
first floor with living room and open kitchen
second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom
top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square metres (1,100 sq ft), but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay.
Rotterdam Blaak is a railway station and metro station in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, located on the Breda–Rotterdam railway between Rotterdam and Dordrecht. The station is located in the centre of the city, near the cube houses and the Markthal.
On 2 May 1877 the first railway station on this location was opened, then called Rotterdam Beurs. This station was part of a 2.2 km (1.4 mi) long viaduct. After the station had been destroyed during World War II, a new station opened in 1953, called Rotterdam Blaak.
When the underground metro station was opened on 6 May 1982, space was already reserved for a possible underground railway station directly underneath the metro station. On 15 September 1993, this new underground railway station was opened, as part of a 2.8 km (1.7 mi) long tunnel. This tunnel, including the station, now had 4 tracks instead of the 2 on the viaduct.

Travel Netherlands - The Cube Houses of Rotterdam
Take a tour of Cube Houses of Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats
Hi I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.
Rotterdam is a city known for its innovative and modernistic art.
This becomes expressed in odd places, such as the architecture of the bizarre cube houses.
Piet Blom was the architect for these science fiction-esque dwelling places.
These boxy homes come in a veritable forest of many buildings all attached to each other.
This is no public art display or tourist attraction, people do live in the houses.
That said, one of the cube houses has been turned into a show cube for visitors curiosity.
Thank you for watching our travel video series see you next time.

There are a number of fine restaurants located along the busy waterfront.Visitors to Rotterdam Holland in the Netherlands can enjoy a great view of Europe's first 'skyscraper' from those restaurants.

KÜP EVLER
Rotterdam'ın Sıradışı Tasarıma Sahip Evleri : Kübik Evler. Hollanda'nın Rotterdam şehrindeki Küp Evler (Kubuswoningen), şehrin en ikonik yerlerinden ve cazibe merkezlerinden biridir. Hollandalı mimar Piet Blom tarafından tasarlanan bu evler, kelimenin tam anlamıyla 45 derece eğimli küplerden oluşuyor.
Hollandalı mimar Piet Blom, kent planlayıcılarının isteği üzerine 70’lerin sonlarında Rotterdam’daki bu Küp Evleri tasarladı. Blom daha önce Hollanda’nın Helmond şehrinde kübik mimariyle ilgili deneysel çalışmalar gerçekleştirmişti.
Bir ormanı temsil ediyormuş gibi planlanarak tasarlanan Rotterdam’daki Küp Evler, her bir kübün tepesi bir ağaç tepesini andıracak şekilde asimetrik olarak inşa edildi. Yapısal olarak, küpler altıgen bir direk üstüne oturtulmuştur. Küp Evler, beton zeminler, beton sütunlar ve ahşap çerçevelerden oluşuyor.
İçerisinde dar bir merdiven bulunduran üç katlı bu küp evlerin ilk katında giriş, Amerikan tarzı açık bir mutfak ve oturma odası bulunuyor. İkinci katta ise bir banyo ve iki yatak odası olan küp evlerin, en üst katları bazı durumlarda çatı bahçesi/terası olarak kullanılıyor. Küp Evler’den içeri adım attığınızda kendinizi alıştırmanız gerek ilk şey ise tüm duvarların eğimli oluşu oluyor. Ve yapının üst katlarına çıktığınızda da eğim sebebiyle kafanıza dikkat etmeniz tavsiye ediliyor.
Küp Evler’den biri Kijk-Kubus adı altında bir müzeye dönüştürüldü ve tam donanımlı haliyle küplerin içini merak eden ziyaretçilere tur imkanı sunuyor. Ayrıca, Rotterdam merkezli bir mimari kuruluş, küplerden birini Stayokay Hostel Rotterdam adıyla bir hostele dönüştürdü ve dünyanın her yerinden ziyaretçileri ağırlıyor.
