Cube Houses
Located mid-way between the Marines Museum and the Market Hall, a mere 2-minute walk away, are the renowned Rotterdam Cube Houses, right next to Blaak railway station.
Spending the night at an
Eyecatcher?
The dwellings take on the shape of canted cubes that rest on piles. They were built between 1982 and 1984 to a design by Piet Blom.
As true works of art, they have since gone on to become the city’s premier landmarks. One of the dwellings, the Kijk-Kubus (Show Cube) serves as a public museum. In fact, one of the cube houses has even been accoutred as a mini hotel where guests can spend the night!
