Cubic homes of Rotterdam

The Cube Houses, located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, were conceived and constructed by architect Piet Blom in the 1970s.

The architect built these houses in Rotterdam when he was asked by local town planners to solve the dilemma of building houses on top of a pedestrian bridge.

Sitting tilted on a hexagonal pole, the cubes are made up of concrete pillars, wooden frames and concrete floors.

Inside, the houses are divided into three levels, which can be accessed via a narrow staircase.
