Netherlands - Rotterdam - Cube Houses interior 02_DSC8793
If you want to go in one of the famous Cube Houses in Rotterdam you have two options ; you can stay in the Stayokay hostel or you can pay a couple of Euros to enter one of the houses that the enterprising owner has opened to the public. I chose the latter and, although it was incredibly busy, managed to get a couple of intersting shots including this one of the colourful lounge. I can't be sure but presumably these colours are original.....

From Wikipedia "Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside."
