The sphere in the centre of the cube is an apple pierced by an arrow.
This piece of art placed next to the highway close to my home.

"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. 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 houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
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 walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay."

Nissan Cube, On display at Birmingham's Bullring.
The updated Nissan Cube features more rounded and curved styling cues than its predecessors. This evolution is most striking in the rear bumper area, in the asymmetrical rear window, which wraps around to the passenger side, and in the oval-shaped driver and front passenger windows. The rear hatch is hinged to open along its vertical axis, towards the curb. This helps loading and unloading when street parking in a crowded urban environment.
The Nissan Cube is one of the very few cars where the right side differs from the left. This is a left hand drive version. In right hand driven versions the assymmetry is done the other way round. The Nissan Cube was available over here for just a year as Nissan stopped sales back in 2011.

Two Lume Cubes at work on on a 20+ metre high gum tree. The lower trunk is about 8 metres away from the camera.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN---This open cube is newly made from recycled wood in an industrial vintage style. Rolls beautifully, perfect for moving it to various locations to hold some books and a cold beer.
Red/Cyan 3D glasses required for viewing. Each side of the 3D cube contains an anaglyph image. The images are from the annual "Flower Mart" held in Mount Vernon, Baltimore MD.
The Cube Houses in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, are endlessly fascinating to look at. It seems impossible that they could be good to live in, but people love them and they are very popular and not often available. These were just a few minutes walk from the apartment I had in Rotterdam in the mid 1980s and I'd often walk to them just to admire the architecture.
Nissan car with its enthusiastic, "inspired by a bulldog wearing sunglasses" face and asymmetrical rear, at first glance the cube looks more like a punchline than a car. Saw this very different looking car in Putnam County, Carmel,NY.
