The cubic house was designed by Piet Blom in 1984. They are also known as the cube houses.
A cube house, also known as a cubical house or cube-shaped house, is a type of architectural design characterized by its cube-like shape.
These houses typically have equal length, width, and height dimensions, giving them a symmetrical appearance.
Cube houses can vary in size from small structures suitable for individual or small family living to larger, more elaborate designs.
They often feature modern or minimalist aesthetics, with clean lines and simple geometric forms.
One of the most famous examples of cube houses is the “Kubuswoningen” (Cube Houses).
They are located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom.
