There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.<br /> <br /> As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a &quot;show cube&quot;, which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.<br /> <br /> The houses contain three floors:<br /> <br /> ground floor entrance <br /> first floor with living room and open kitchen <br /> second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom <br /> top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <br /> Wikipedia</p> tokek belanda (very busy) houses house holland building architecture modern weird rotterdam blaak moderne cube 1984 unusual piet オランダ kubus zuidholland woningen 鹿特丹 kubuswoningen 荷兰 srange 荷蘭 blom голландия overblaak architektuur ロッテルダム роттердам 로테르담
