Netherlands: The Cube Houses in Rotterdam
The 38 cube houses above the Blaak near the Old Port in Rotterdam were constructed between 1982 and 1984.
The Cube Houses (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. 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 houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, and beside the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
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 meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.

The World's Greatest Attractions - Exploring the World's Strangest Buildings
Take a tour of World's Strangest Buildings -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
I'd like to show you the world's strangest buildings.
The cities of Rotterdam and Helmond in The Netherlands carry a breeze of unconventionality and innovation, thanks to the Cube Houses. These cubic properties are tilted houses featuring double-glassed windows, zinc roof panels, and a vibrant yellow color all resting on hexagonal panels which gives a modernist edge to the city.
Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain enlivens the Art Nouveau style of architecture. Remodeled from 1904 to 1906, the exposed bay windows of this structure seem to have been shaped in the form of skulls while the supporting pillars simulate bones; giving Casa Batlló an eerie yet stunning appearance.
The Dalí Theatre and Museum is a fervent stamp of Salvador Dali, who is recognized among the world's greatest surrealist artists. It graces the Spanish city of Figueres,
Catalonia and embodies the same striking and bizarre surrealism in its architecture and is purported as the world's largest surrealistic structure. A prodigy of modern architecture is the Casa Milà, better known in Catalan as The Quarry. Completed in 1912, this highly imaginative residential complex boasts unique yet functional modernist statues and sculptures incorporated into the architecture of the roof.
The unrivaled building complex of Hundertwasserhaus in Magdeburg, Germany has been reputed as a prime expressionist landmark. Onion shaped domes, vibrant mixes of color, odd angles, and its pink icing all contribute to the buildings well deserved notoriety.

Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Volendam
The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland) is a country located mainly in Northwestern Europe. Together with three island territories in the Caribbean (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba), it forms a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The European portion of the Netherlands consists of twelve provinces and borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south and the North Sea to the northwest, with maritime borders in the North Sea with Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. The five largest cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven. Amsterdam is the country's capital, while The Hague holds the seat of the States General, Cabinet and Supreme Court. The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe and the largest outside Asia.
'Netherlands' literally means 'lower countries', referring to its low and flat topography, with only about 50% of its land exceeding 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) above sea level and nearly 17% being below sea level. Most of the areas below sea level, known as polders, are the result of land reclamation beginning in the 16th century. With a population of 17.30 million living within a total area of roughly 41,500 square kilometres (16,000 sq mi)—of which the land area is 33,700 square kilometres (13,000 sq mi)—the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Nevertheless, it is the world's second-largest exporter of food and agricultural products after the United States, owing to its fertile soil, mild climate, and intensive agriculture.
The Netherlands was the third country in the world to have representative government and has been a parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a unitary structure since 1848. Historically, the country has a tradition of pillarisation and a long record of social tolerance, having legalised abortion, prostitution and euthanasia, while maintaining a progressive drug policy. The Netherlands abolished the death penalty in 1870, allowed women's suffrage in 1917 and became the world's first country to legalise same-sex marriage in 2001. It is a founding member of the EU, Eurozone, G10, NATO, OECD and WTO, as well as a part of the Schengen Area and the trilateral Benelux Union. It hosts several intergovernmental organisations and international courts, many of which are centered in The Hague, which is consequently dubbed 'the world's legal capital.' Its mixed-market advanced economy had the thirteenth-highest per capita income globally. One of the world's most prosperous countries, the Netherlands ranks among the highest in international indexes of press freedom, economic freedom, human development, quality of life, as well as happiness. Its strong performance is owed in large part to a generous welfare state that provides universal healthcare, public education and infrastructure, in addition to social benefits. It is also known for its polder model, the country's leading socioeconomic model based on consensus decision-making.

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 living room of the show cube in Rotterdam.
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 meters, 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.
