Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom, these houses in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) are literally cube houses, tipped over 45 degrees. The design was based around the notion of "living as an urban roof" - to make more space for the residents on the ground level under the houses, to maximise the living space inside the houses, and also minimise the impact of high density poplations on urban space and the environment. Blom stated that each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. They're certainly one of the most inspirational designs I've seen in many a travel.

It's quite big inside as well and you can explore the inside of one of the houses. Pretty cool -

It took me quite some time to really understand what I'm seeing. The concept of these houses is really interesting and the picture is just brilliant (again😉). Such a simple idea to walk under something and look up to it, yet so powerful when done properly. Congratulations again! 😊
