Netherlands - Rotterdam - Cube Houses 06_DSC8776
For anyone that knows the Piet Blom architectural icon that is the Rotterdam Cube Houses I'm sure you'll agree it's pretty hard to resist taking this shot no matter how many versions of it you've seen before......
Given it's quite hard to get a 'different' shot to everyone else I concentrated on getting the best version of this view I could. Even so I feel maybe it needs a (photoshopped ?) plane flying through the centre of the space.

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."
