Amazing Buildings of the World. Cubic Houses

Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands. This is a housing designed on top of a pedestrian bridge. The main idea behind this is to create a forest of cubes (abstract trees) as each cube represents an abstract tree. The cubes are tilted and sit on hexagon-shaped pole structures. The cubes contain the living areas, which are split into three levels. The triangle-shaped lower level contains the living area.

Three test versions were first constructed in 1974, and in 1977 18 houses were constructed in Helmond. 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.
