Hiking

The Cube Houses in Rotterdam (also known as Blaakse Bos) are one of the most iconic examples of Dutch structuralist architecture. Designed by Piet Blom and built between 1982 and 1984, they consist of 38 ‘regular’ cube houses and two larger ‘super-cubes’, placed on a pedestrian bridge above Blaak Street and with a hexagonal leg track tractor as a base.

A friend used to live there. It was truly bizarre to see the inside.
