EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Cubic Houses, or "Kubuswoningen," located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, a masterpiece of modern architecture designed by Piet Blom in 1977. The image, captured by the skilled lens of Henk Langerak, highlights the unique and intriguing design of these houses, which appear to defy gravity as they seem to balance precariously atop hexagonal piles. The houses' monochromatic color palette of black and white adds to their striking visual appeal, emphasizing their geometric shapes and clean lines. The Cubic Houses were built as part of a larger urban renewal project in the Posthoornquartier district of Rotterdam. Each house is a cube, measuring 3,300 cubic feet, and is tilted at a 45-degree angle. The interior spaces are designed to maximize living area and offer residents a unique perspective of the world around them. Piet Blom, the Dutch architect, drew inspiration from the traditional Dutch houses with their steep gabled roofs, but sought to create a modern and innovative design. The Cubic Houses have become a symbol of Rotterdam's forward-thinking approach to urban planning and design. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Cubic Houses, which continue to inspire and captivate visitors and residents alike. The image invites us to explore the possibilities of architecture and design, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and reminding us of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the built environment.
