The Cube Houses were definitely a highlight of my visit to Rotterdam! It was fascinating to get a glimpse inside these tilted structures. They felt surprisingly compact on the inside, compared to what I envisioned. Big enough for two people for sure, but maybe keep the parties intimate! LOL While the staff interaction wasn't the friendliest, it didn't impact my overall enjoyment. The most surprising thing was learning that people actually live in these houses, and there's even a long waiting list to buy one! The interiors seem surprisingly functional, considering the angles. This unique architecture has me hooked! Next time I'm in Rotterdam, a stay at the Cube Hotel might be just the ticket.

أحد أشهر معالم مدينة روتردام هي مجموعة المنازل المكعبة المرتفعة عن سطح الأرض، والتي تقع في مركز المدينة. وهي عبارة عن 40 منزلا مكعب الشكل، مُصممة بزوايا مائلة أكثر من 45 درجة، وتعد أول مساكن معلقة بهذا الشكل في هولندا بأكملها. يقع المجمع السكني في مدينة روتردام في هولندا، وتم بناؤه بواسطة المعماري بيت بلوم في سبعينات القرن الماضي، بعد أن طلب مسؤولو مدينة روتردام الهولندية من بلوم أن يخرج لهم بحل هندسي لإنشاء منازل تسمح بوجود ممر لعبور المشاة من تحتها. وكان بلوم قد بنى منازل مكعبة ومجسمة متراصة جنبًا إلى جنب من قبل في مدينة هيلموند، فقرر تكرار التجربة في روتردام مع تطويرها بقدر الإمكان. والمبنى عبارة عن عدة منازل ذات ستة أوجه متراصة بجانب بعضها البعض، ومرتفعة عن الأرض فوق كوبري المشاة، وتستند على أعمدة خراسانية جرى استغلالها كقوائم للمنازل وممرات صعود في ذات الوقت، مع إطار خارجي ملون من الخشب ليعطي شكلاً جماليًا مميزًا. ويتكون المنزل من ثلاثة طوابق يتم الصعود إليها من خلال سلم داخلي ضيق، الطابق الأول عبارة عن حجرة معيشة ثلاثية الشكل، والطابق الأوسط يضم حجرات النوم والمرحاض، مع وجود حجرات نوم إضافية في الطابق العلوي. وما يميز المبنى أيضا أن الجدران والنوافذ مائلة بزاوية 54.7 درجة، والتي تعطي رؤية مميزة للمنطقة المحيطة وقلب المدينة الهولندية. ولكن يأتي هذا على حساب المساحة الداخلية المستغلة، والتي لا تتعدى ريع مساحة كل منزل، البالغ مائة متر مربع بسبب زوايا الأسقف والجدران المائلة. ومن ناحية أخرى فإن التصميم المميز له فلسفته الخاصة، إذ إن التصميم الكلي للمبنى يعكس تصور غابة من الأشجار، ووفقا لمصممه بيت بلوم فإن كل منزل يمثل شجرة، وتشكل مجموعة المنازل المتلاصقة غابة صناعية من المنازل كقرية صغيرة وسط المدينة المكتظة بالمباني التقليدية. وعلى الرغم من أن غالبية المنازل بالمبنى المكعب مشغولة بالسكان، فإنه يوجد مكعب واحد تبرع به أحد المالكين وجعله مفتوحًا للزائرين للقيام بجولات بداخله بعد ملاحظته رغبة المارة في الدخول والتعرف على شكل المنازل من الداخل. ومن الممكن تأجير منازل المكعبات والإقامة بها لبعض الليالي، وهي مفروشة ومجهزة بكامل تجهيزات الإقامة. ويجد كثيرون متعة في تجربة العيش بأحد تلك المكعبات لاختلاف المنزل من الداخل على المباني التقليدية التي يعرفها الجميع.

The Cube Houses in Rotterdam are a unique architectural marvel that has become an iconic landmark of the city. Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom, these houses are built in the shape of cubes tilted at 45-degree angles. Visitors can explore one of the cube houses which serves as a model home for tourists to experience what it's like to live inside such an unconventional space. However, some visitors have expressed disappointment with this model house as they feel it is more focused on making money rather than providing an authentic experience. Despite this criticism, The Cube Houses remain a popular tourist attraction due to their unusual design and photogenic qualities. Many people visit just to take pictures or admire them from afar. The location is also convenient - situated near many shops and restaurants in Rotterdam's city center. Overall ,The Cube Houses offer visitors something truly unique with its innovative architecture but be aware that some may find certain aspects disappointing!

The origin of the Rubik’s Cube House is that during the Second World War, Rotterdam was bombed indiscriminately by the German army, causing the buildings in the city to be completely destroyed. Rotterdam people rebuilt modern style buildings from tile research, which attracted the attention of the world. Rotterdam is considered as the experimental field of modern architecture. [Cube House] is the most famous and typical work. This "cube forest" has a total of 51 cube houses, 38 of which are private homes, and the others have become part of offices, clothing stores, snack bars, cafes and even schools.

Fabulous to see this remarkable architecture in person - the photos from visitors and the website photos give you an idea but not as good as seeing the real thing. If you do the mini cruise from Hull to Rotterdam like I did, this is easily done on a short daytrip and then you can walk around the taking in other sights and shopping and get a real feel for the city. The charming gentleman on the reception desk was very helpful - For 3 Euros Entrance Fee this is unmissable. A tip- the stairs are quite narrow and steep. But that didn't put me off - I'd quite happily live in an apartment here!

Description
Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Helmond and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside.
