Today I learned about the cube houses in Rotterdam!

Crikey!

In Australia some councils won't allow anything other than the standard double fronted all look the same hot and cold boxes ...

@MyView @weirdestate Rotterdam is fun. Like a lot of European cities a large part of it got totally destroyed in WW2, but unlike the others they decided to get crazy with the architecture when rebuilding.

At least, that's the story I read when I backpacked there a few decades ago

I've been in to visit the cube homes. I think they're just an exhibition now (or at least one of them is). I remember there being a lot of wasted space, due to rooms having sloped walls. Interesting to look at, and fun that exists, but I wouldn't want to live in one

Nor me ... always fancied a round house though :)

All rooms opening from a central living room with each room having an external door in case one needed a quick escape ... or entry into one room :)

@Hyperlynx @weirdestate @MyView How about a round house... that also rotates? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gisdyTBMNyQ
I thought this rotating house was impossible.

Necessity really is the mother of invention ...
