Piet Blom's Cube Houses and the Kijk-Kubus

The cube houses are real homes: cubes rotated 45 degrees and balanced on one corner on pillars, designed by the architect Piet Blom and completed in the 1980s beside the Oude Haven. From outside they look like a forest of yellow trees; inside, the walls are slanted and the furniture has to adapt. The Kijk-Kubus is one of them, furnished so you can see what it is like to live inside.
