The Cube Houses, or "Kubuswoningen" in Dutch, are one of Rotterdam's most iconic and unique architectural marvels. Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom in the late 1970s, these innovative houses were conceived as part of an urban development project aimed at creating a "village within a city." Each house is literally a cube tilted at a 45-degree angle, resting on a hexagonal pylon, which gives the illusion that they are balancing on one corner. This striking and unconventional design immediately captures attention and has become a symbol of Rotterdam's progressive and bold approach to urban planning.
Blom's vision was to represent a forest, with each individual cube symbolizing an abstract tree, and the entire complex forming a cohesive "urban forest." The structures are built on a pedestrian bridge above a busy street near the Blaak metro station and the historic Oude Haven, cleverly optimizing public space. The complex consists of 38 small cubes and two larger "super-cubes," all interconnected to form a visually stunning and playful residential area. Their bright yellow color further enhances their distinctive presence against the city's skyline.
Stepping inside a Cube House offers a truly unique living experience. Due to the 45-degree tilt, all the walls and windows are slanted, creating unconventional and dynamic interior spaces. While this might seem challenging, the design cleverly maximizes the usable area within the geometric constraints. Typically, a Cube House has three floors: the ground floor serves as the entrance and storage area within the hexagonal pylon, the first floor houses the living room and an open kitchen, and the second floor contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. The top floor, often a small loft, can be used as a study, guest room, or even a rooftop garden, offering panoramic views of the surroundings.
While most Cube Houses are private residences, one "Show Cube" (Kijk-Kubus) has been opened to the public as a museum, allowing visitors to experience firsthand what it's like to live in such a distinctive home. This offers a fascinating insight into the creative solutions employed for furniture placement and maximizing space in an angled environment. Additionally, one of the larger cubes has been converted into a Stayokay Hostel, providing the unique opportunity for visitors to actually spend a night in these architectural wonders, further cementing their status as a must-see attraction in Rotterdam.
This mini-rubix cube is one of my favorite gifts I got for Christmas in my stocking last year. Now..I just have to figure out how to do it! Patty?! Riff?! Help!

This is a very interesting brain game with very clear task; to give you troubles. But, it is natural the hardest task brings the greatest satisfaction after you solve it. Everyone knows what Rubik's Cube is and everyone is afraid only of her name. It takes more than a myriad of combinations to arrange all the small cubes on each side of her in order to put them in the same color. Many of us think that only above-average intelligent persons can solve it and they give it up long before they attempt. Actually, for that is required a long exercise. Each task has a solution, but it needs perseverance and repetition of several times. So, here's one way to begin with the training. This is an entertaining way which will not force you to dismiss easily the task. All the best!
The Cube has 6 different colourful mosaics on its sides and combines a lot of the things that I love: Lego (obviously), geometric shapes, colours, mosaics and patterns and finally some logic and maths.

It was a very fun and satisfying build and it makes me so happy just looking at it.

This is a picture of the other side of the Rubik's Cube I've been working on. As you can see, I've got all the yellow's done, and a T shape with each of the other colors that border yellow. Here's the first picture, showing the yellow bordering orange and green.
One thing I've got to say about this Rubik's Cube, which was just purchased a few weeks ago, is that they don't make 'em like they used to. The overall construction feels cheaper than I remember. Sometimes it's hard to turn the parts without feeling like they're going to break off.
Plus, some of the stickers were not on quite perfectly, and they keep trying to peel of, despite my repeated attempts to push the edges back down (see note in photo).

Hubby and I decided to make our gifts for each other this year. Here is my version of the Rubik's cube. He liked it very much, and is taking it to work for his desk.
Our anniversary is today. ~: )
