]]>The Cube Houses are a brainchild of architect Piet Blom, whose main goal was to optimize the space inside by tilting the cube of a conventional house by 45 degrees.
Blom also had the vision to design a village within a city with his Cube houses — each house within this formation represents a tree, so they could form a forest together.
When Cube houses were designed in 1977, there was a plan to build 55 homes, but only 38 small cubes and two super-cubes ended up being completed.
Each of the houses is composed of three floors, including the ground floor entrance, two floors that serve as a living area, and top floor which is typically used as a small garden.
Architect Ben Kutner and Jeff Brown were inspired by this project and tried to create similar Cube Houses in Toronto, but only three ended up being built.
