They were designed by architect Piet Blom in the late 1970s, who designed the housing development as cubes tilted at a 45-degree angle. Their asymmetrical design was intended to resemble an abstract <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/how-to-stay-active-in-la\/\">forest<\/a>, with each triangular rooftop representing a tree. You can see how the space inside each cube has been utilised by visiting the Show Cube, which holds the original designs and history of the development. Conveniently located next to the Rotterdam Blaak railway station, The Cube Houses are easily accessible, and even form a pedestrian bridge into the city center.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Cube-houses.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@claudia-schmalz-3928374?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Claudia Schmalz<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/creative-hexagon-shaped-houses-against-cloudy-sky-5871273\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Market Hall<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicknamed \u201cKoopboog\u201d (horseshoe) by locals, the Market Hall is a popular hangout spot for locals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/tourists-tips-when-visiting-singapore\/\">tourists<\/a>.

The bridge was funded by over 8,000 people who donated to fund the construction.

When Rotterdam was bombed during World War 2, Delfshaven was not hit, which has meant that much of the town\u2019s original infrastructure still remains. Asides from its war history, Delfshaven is also famous for being the port from which the pilgrims departed for their voyage to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/top-places-to-visit-in-boston\/\">America<\/a>. As you discover the history of Delfshaven, you can enjoy the multitude of quaint cafes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/top-places-to-eat-in-singapore\/\">restaurants <\/a>in the area. Delfshaven is a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of Rotterdam\u2019s center.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Delfshaven.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Delfshaven.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Delfshaven.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Delfshaven.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Delfshaven.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Delfshaven.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Floating Forest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Floating Forest is the very first of its kind.
