About Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen)

Piet Blom's most celebrated urban intervention — 38 tilted cube houses rotated 45 degrees and balanced on concrete hexagonal columns near the Blaak station, designed in 1984 as an experiment in urban living. One cube is open as a show house; the Blaak market next door adds to an extraordinary architectural streetscape.
