🇳🇱 Piet Blom’s Cube Houses: Rotterdam’s "Upside-Down Forest"! 🌳🏠

The Netherlands never plays it safe—especially architecturally. Case in point: Rotterdam’s Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen), designed by Piet Blom in 1984. 🌪️ Why It’s Wild • 45°-tilted yellow cubes stacked like a child’s abandoned Lego project. • Blom’s vision: Each cube = a tree crown, together forming an "urban forest" 🌲➡️🏙️. • A functional art piece—some are hostels/Airbnbs (try sleeping diagonally!). 🤔 Dutch Pragmatism • "Feng shui?" Probably met with a shrug 🤷‍♂️. When your house defies gravity, who needs rules? 📍 Visit Practicals ✔ €3 demo house entry (claustrophobics beware!) ✔ Photo hack: Shoot from the stairs for Kandinsky-esque angles 📸. #ArchitectureWTF #NetherlandsWeirdness #Rotterdam
