Dwellers of cube houses are quite accustomed with this situation. This set of akin houses is so eye-catchy that every person walking by can\u2019t steer clear of giving it a second look. To solve the dilemma of these residents, one of the owners decided to open a \u2018Show Cube\u2019 which is fully furnished and is put to display for inquisitive tourists and visitors.Cube houses, also known as Kubuswoningen, located in Rotterdam are exceptionally designed residences by renowned architect Piet Blom. This inventor first designed these houses in Helmond later when the town planners of Rotterdam wanted to have houses on the top of pedestrian bridge then Piet Blom thought of repeating this design. The construction was completed in 1977 with a plan of erecting 55 units but 39 were built. These cube houses are based on the notion of \u2018living as an urban roof\u2019. The houses attached to each other that depicts village within the city. They look like trees in the forest hence these wooden cubes are also known as tree or pole houses. These houses are not only iconic in Netherlands but they are one of the stupendous constructions all over the world.<strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-24761\" alt=\"int-cube-house\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bharatestates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/int-cube-house.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/>Design and interior of cube houses:<\/strong>The houses are 45 degree tilted on a hexagon pole. Each of the house is divided in three floors and are accessed by narrow staircases. The ground level is dedicated for entrance, first floor consists of living room which is a triangular area and there is also an open kitchen on this floor. The mid-level consists of two bedrooms and a bathroom and the top floor is an open area used for garden or store room. To match the tilted design, even the windows and walls are sloped at 54.7 degree. You can have excellent view of the surrounding area from the windows. The only drawback of this design is that the apartments are constructed on total area of 100 sq mt but only quarter part of the space is usable due to the angled ceilings and structure. The asymmetrical design of the residences is also said to represent trees in the forest which look like yellow conventional trees in man-made forest. As the construction is innovative, even the residents are forced to be creative as they have to fetch for furniture and interiors that suits the design. They cannot opt for the standard furniture due to the tilted shape.<strong>Location:<\/strong>Cube houses are present in the heart of the city near the Old Harbor. The houses are located on Overblaak Street near Blaak Subway Station in Rotterdam. Some of the cubes have shops at the promenade level. The address of the show cube which is open for visitors is Overblaak 70.So if you had to visit Rotterdam by any chance then definitely stopover Cubic Houses, you will be really mesmerized by its phenomenon structural design.<span style=\"left:100%;display:inline-block;position:fixed\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rusbankinfo.ru\/\">\u0437\u0430\u0439\u043c \u043d\u0430 \u043a\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0443 \u0431\u0435\u0437 \u043e\u0442\u043a\u0430\u0437\u043e\u0432 \u043a\u0440\u0443\u0433\u043b\u043e\u0441\u0443\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u043e<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/rusbankinfo.ru\/credits.html\">\u0432\u0437\u044f\u0442\u044c \u043a\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0438\u0442 \u043e\u043d\u043b\u0430\u0439\u043d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may be enraged if every passer-by peeps into your house or starts clicking pictures of your house, but if you are a resident of some outstanding architecture then you have to get used to it.
