Cube Houses (Kijk-Kubus)

The Cube Houses, Piet Blom's iconic tilted yellow cubes, are Rotterdam's most photographed architectural marvel. These 40 cubic dwellings rotate 45 degrees on hexagonal pillars, creating an optical illusion that draws 300,000 tourists yearly. For a deeper dive, the Kijk-Kubus museum lets you explore a furnished unit for €3.50, offering hands-on insight into the 1970s avant-garde movement. While Markthal impresses with scale, the Cube Houses offer a more intimate and quirky experience, making them a must-see for design enthusiasts.
