Kubuswoning (Cubic Houses)
(also known as Paalwoningen - Pole Dwellings)
Overblaak 70
Rotterdam
The Netherlands

Piet Blom 1984

The original idea of these cubic houses came about in the 1970s. Piet Blom has developed a couple of these cubic houses that were built in Helmond.

The city of Rotterdam asked him to design housing on top of a pedestrian bridge and he decided to use the cubic houses idea. The concept behind these houses is that he tries to create a forest by each cube representing an abstract tree; therefore the whole village becomes a forest.
