]]>Central Idea
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.
Forest of Homes
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.

] Parece cenário de desenho animado, mas essas são as Casas Cúbicas (Cube Houses) em Roterdã! A ideia aqui é otimizar espaço, aglomerando pessoas sem aglomerar o chão, baseado no conceito de viver em um "telhado urbano", como se fossem casas de árvores (cada casa representa uma árvore e o aglomerado, uma floresta)! E sim, tem pessoas morando nelas! Aliás, se você quiser dá até para se hospedar, pois tem um hostel (Stayok) funcionando por lá. É muito bacana, Roterdã é uma cidade incrível!! Conhecemos essas casas e ficamos sabendo mais da história de Roterdã em um tour fantástico com a @derotterdamtours. Indicamos muito!! ⠀ Tem muita informação e dicas de Roterdã no @rotterdam_info, o site é super completo! ⠀ 
Fomos para a Holanda em um excelente voo direto da @klm de Fortaleza para Amsterdã! ⠀ 
Total Number
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.
Three Floors
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.

]]>The Cube Houses
There are 38 small cubes and two ‘super-cubes’ which are all attached to each other. These buildings are built to represent forest and each unit is a singular tree. The Cube Houses are still occupied, however, you can have a sneak-peak into the inside by visiting an onsite museum called Kijk-Kubus.
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is Rotterdam largest museum which was opened in the 19th century, in 1849 when Frans Jacob Otto Boijmans bequeathed his large art collection to the city. There you can find beautiful and well-known works of big names like Rembrandt, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh.
