Cubic houses of Rotterdam, February 2020

Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

I’ll see what I can show on that front. I did take some photos, but hard to capture

Certainly yellow, Debbie. I suppose being in that area one mustn’t mind feeling overlooked…
My post is hardly interesting this week: https://wp.me/pVkLb-5da

Fantastic vibrant yellows! Though the windows look as though they face downwards? I’m going more with a blue mood today: https://margaret21.wordpress.com/2020/09/26/beside-the-seaside-beside-the-sea-2/

There has recently been a lot more development in Rotterdam. Some fantastic modern additions and removal of some of the earlier rebuild attempts. The cubes fit into the city well now. Worth a revisit if you get the chance 😀

They look fantastic. But I wonder what they look on the inside. It looks from the outside as if the windows are not exactly vertical and that would be strange. I know people who lived in a round tower and the idea was not bad but as a result all the walls were curved and you either needed very expensive custom made furniture or you lost a lot of space behind the furniture. As you can see: I can appreciate the outside but I distrust architects 🙂
Here is an architectural problem that is slightly older:https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2020/09/26/what-a-difference-a-chop-makes/
I kept to the 6 word limit (except that I went 2×6).

Yes, could be quite a bit of tripping over corners. And as you can imagine the stairs inside are narrow and awkward.

Love that ‘close up’ , Debs! I’m sure these would make great kinda skwares 🙂 🙂 I’m all blue and white this week. https://restlessjo.me/2020/09/26/six-word-saturday-373/

Now I believe they’re really yellow, Debbie. 🙂 I still think they’re disorienting and if you came home after a long night at the pub, you might have trouble finding your place, but they’re certainly bright and interesting. 🙂

I certainly couldn’t live in one! But they are interesting to visit. Designed in 1977 when this city was still in need of much love and care following its devastation in WW2. A brave and crazy designer, I think. And if you fancy trying them out in person, the bigger house (or maybe 2) have been converted into a hostel.
