Cube Houses Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The cube houses are like huge Rubik's cubes, which are arranged obliquely with each other. The unique shape is undoubtedly a classic landmark building in Rotterdam. Historical Background The cube house was built in 1984 and designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom. The whole building is connected by 40 square houses inclined at 45°, which is an earlier cube-shaped house in the Netherlands. Design concept Blom believes that his design is like an abstract tree, and all the houses are combined into a forest. Has a strong visual effect. The cube house is reminiscent of a tree house that can be accessed through pillars. The entire building is actually a pedestrian bridge across the street. In a sense, the cube house is an architectural experiment in which Blom thinks about form, aesthetics and spatial effects, rather than for functional and practical purposes.

[Rubik's Cube House] In the Second World War, Rotterdam was indiscriminately bombed by the German army, causing damage to the entire city's buildings. The hardworking and intelligent Rotterdam people rebuilt modern-style buildings from the rubble, attracting the eyes of the world. Rotterdam is considered an experimental site for modern architecture. The three-dimensional square house is the most famous and typical work. The forest has 51 three-dimensional square houses, 38 private homes, and the rest are part of office space, clothing stores, snack bars and cafes, and even schools.

Amazing and inspiring architectural! Awesome attraction for great pictures 😉
This is definitely a net red attraction, like a magic square version of the house group, you can never miss it when you go to the Netherlands. I personally feel that there are different scenes every time period. And it is definitely a good attraction for taking pictures of seconds to kill memories. Very distinctive.
The city construction plan of Rotterdam is implemented in accordance with the new layout after the Second World War. The buildings are basically newly built after the war. The appearance is novel and chic, mostly in Western European style, unique in shape and colorful. In the old town, many streets are paved with stones, retaining the style of hundreds of years ago. Rotterdam is a city on the Mas River, with many inland rivers and a variety of boats moored by the river. Near the buildings, on the riverside, and on the bridge, the unique windmills of the Netherlands are everywhere, forming a picturesque view.
