Cube houses (Dutch: kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam. Their architect Piet Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. The houses are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak metro station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
Interesting fact: House Wrens are fiercely territorial, they have been known to destroy bluebird and other cavity nester's eggs by piercing them, and then often removing the eggs from the nest.

Was half hoping for a sunset but alas it just chucked it down with rain. Had to shield the camera from the rain with my open winter jacket. There wasn't too much detail in the sky - looked like pea soup, as we say in English - but was able to get a little detail out of it thanks to the dehaze slider in Lightroom.
I'll be back to this place (mainly for the lighthouse that was just behind me) in the near distant future!
Also, I don't think that middle pillar at the front is helping too much in supporting the boat house....
There were "stone" cottages, shoguns, log cabins . . . The bird community now has many, many choices--out on Long Island anyway. Westbury, Long Island, New York
The house conserves both the memory of Gaudí and many examples of furniture and other objects that he designed. Crucial to forming an idea of how the great Catalan architect worked, these works also illustrate the craft production system in Catalonia during the Art Nouveau period.
The original purpose of the building – that of acting as a “show house” for Park Güell – gives the site added value. Although it is a public space today, Park Güell, one of Gaudí’s major undertakings, was originally planned as a private residential area.
The site's name Thcomes from a spring ("font") that is still producing water in the grounds. It was the font around which the local community held its moots or meetings. An Augustinian priory was founded here in 1201 by William Briwere a businessman, administrator and courtier to four Plantagenet kings who chose to make a public demonstration of his wealth and piety. The canons welcomed pilgrims on route to Winchester, who came to worship Mottisfont relic, said to be the finger of St John the Baptist. (The word "Abbey" was added to the name "Mottisfont" by a future owner, several centuries later, but is a misnomer.

This house was built in 1692 by Pierre Deyo and is one of the first stone houses built in New Platz New York by one of the original Huguenot settlers who in 1678 founded the town. The house originally was a much simple building with nothing but plain stone walls but during the late 19th century the current owner at the time greatly modified the house to more inline more with houses of the era and now has landmark status;
Hampstead, London. No admiral has lived here since it was built in 1700 but it has had an interesting occupancy. The plaque is for George Gilbert Scott, the architect famous for designing the red phone boxes, who lived here from 1856 to 1865. An Admiral Barton who lived nearby used to fire a cannon from his roof and this was mistakenly attributed to this house. However, the tale became the inspiration for P.L.Travers character 'Admiral Boom' in her book 'Mary Poppins' and this house was used in the subsequent 1964 movie of the same name to film those scenes.
