SELF PORTRAIT
Like many others in the group I am doing the 365days project so I wanted to try to put a little extra effort into my self portrait for the CWD group. I hope this cuts the grade - I realise that I need to learn so much more about photoshop. I am certain that I make my life much harder than it needs to be and I am not completely happy with the result but I am limited due to my photoshop skills (or lack of them) this is the closest I can get to what I had envisioned.
It might be best to view it large so you can see the hours I spent fiddling in photoshop to get the cube right :) LOL ok not hours but plenty of time.

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.
Cube used to be Suga Qube. I didn't go in then, and I haven't been in in it's current incarnation. Having a quick scout around on the web, it seems to be advertising itself out to the out of town crowd - stag dos and hen parties, all house music and cocktail bars. I don't think I'm missing out...
