Cube Houses
Casas cubo
Cube Houses (Kijk-kubus, Overblaak 70, Rotterdam) — the cube houses were designed by Piet Blom, who saw his design as a tree and the entire complex as a forest. Blom wanted to develop a village within a large city; a safe haven where various different functions could take place.
The Kijk-Kubus (Museum House) is a fully furnished show home in the Blaakse Bos, an unusual collection of cube-shaped homes. The interior was specially developed to give visitors an impression of how it’s possible to live in a cube house with sloping walls. Scale models, photo panels and a screen provide visitors with extra information. Admission: €2.50 (youth/adult ages 12-65), €2 for seniors, €1.50 (children ages 3-12), free for children under 3 years. Hours: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm (daily).
