Cube houses 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.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak metro station. The 1977 original plan showed 55 houses, but not all of them were built. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.

For the 115 in 2015 Group - #25 Beads
These are tiny Swarovski crystal beads (less than 1cm across) Cubes rather than the usual rounds. Each is drilled ready for threading, but I love to keep them as abstract buidling blocks for photographing ;o)

Made up of about 100 real sugar cubes, not glued or anything. These sugar cubes are actually called light because they supposed to have 50% less calories. Inside the cube I placed a 5W light bulb. Shot with my new Olympus 12-60mm 1:2.8-4 lens.
Update (11/9/2009) - Included on digital-photography-school.com/great-reader-shots at Number #1. A great place to learn about photography.

The aptly named lump of rock near Quayfoot Butress in Borrowdale. Must be about 10/12 foot square almost in perfect proportion .. enough to repel the most determined collie despite them trying
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

As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The living room of the "show cube" in Rotterdam.
The houses contain three floors:
ground floor entrance
first floor with living room and open kitchen
second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom
top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square metres (1,100 sq ft), but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
thought I'd point the camera at it and see what it looked like... focused in the middle to make near and furthest points out of focus... might try another time with focus on near corner.
Now, just to get a drink to accompany those nice cool ice cubes!

For 120 pictures in 2020 #31 "Cube", this is a box of Bell & Howell "Slide Cubes". This was the alternative to Kodak carousels back in the film days, each holding 40 35mm slides. They take up a lot less room. This box dates from the late 70's. I have a few more, lol.
This is a close-up photo of reflections and refractions of mason jars through a glass cube on the shelf at the Tusket Frenchy's.
