Rotterdam, Netherlands - 8th June 2008
By: Lejow
Hello again!
What a sunny weekend we have!
We stayed at Lejow's boyfriend and went in to the city of Rotterdam for some sightseeing and shopping.
We saw the cube houses! Here is some info:
Kubuswoningen, or cube houses, are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in The Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984. The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, and beside the Blaak Subway Station. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. 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 houses contain three floors:
ground floor entrance
first floor with living room and open kitchen
second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom
top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden
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.
Next to the cubes houses you will see another designed building by the Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999). It is called the Blaaktower and has the shape of a pencil, that is why it is popular called 'The Pencil', Het Potlood
Then my biggest wish came true..
I met Diddle.. And not only him, I met also Diddlina and myself!!
Diddle
Diddlina
Meeee!!
Like finding Wally.. can you find me? haha
Now I am going to sleep!
