Ok, first Rotterdam picture, possibly the most photographed buildings in Rotterdam, the Cube Houses on the Overblaak. I think they deserve the attention just for looks, but I've been told by someone who lived in one that they are pretty inconvenient living spaces. Now the collection of business that occupy that space is a bit weird; a massage parlor, a hair salon, a nail salon, and until just a few months ago, Piet Zwart Media Design. Now that space will become a backpacker's hostel, so I guess more people can now see what it's like to live in a cube house. Personally I think it's a silly idea and likely to leave that space pretty well trashed, I'm afraid.
