Rotterdam's most photographed building, plus a furnished show-cube that takes about half an hour.
Piet Blom tipped a row of houses forty-five degrees onto their corners, stood them on hexagonal pylons and ran a street underneath, and the result became shorthand for what this city built once it had nothing left to preserve. Most of the cubes are private homes and stay that way. The Kijk-Kubus at number 70 is furnished and open to visitors every day, which is the only way to learn what living at that angle does to a floor plan.
Highlights
- Tilted forty-five degrees on pylons
- Furnished show-cube inside
- Beside Blaak station
Insider tips
- →From outside it is a ten-minute look; spend the rest of the slot in the Markthal next door.
- →You pay at the door by card or cash, so there is nothing to arrange in advance.
