Cube Houses

Rotterdam

Architectural Landmark

About This Attraction

The Cube Houses in Rotterdam are an architectural marvel designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom. Located in the heart of the city, these uniquely shaped houses stand out with their tilted, cube-shaped structures set upon hexagonal pylons. Each cube is tilted at a 45-degree angle and is intended to resemble an abstract forest, with each house representing a tree. The innovative design aims to optimize space and provide a unique living experience. Visitors can explore one of the Cube Houses through the Kijk-Kubus, or Show Cube, which offers insights into the design and living conditions of these homes.

For those interested in visiting, the Cube Houses opening hours for the Kijk-Kubus are typically from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, allowing plenty of time to explore this unusual attraction. The location is easily accessible by public transport, and it is situated near other popular sites like the Market Hall and Oude Haven. Nearby amenities include cafes and shops where visitors can relax after their tour. Additionally, some of the Cube Houses have been converted into hostels, offering a chance to experience staying in this iconic structure. This makes the Cube Houses a practical and intriguing destination for architecture enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
