In Rotterdam, in The Netherlands there sit a cluster of houses that are built on a narrow scale, and some allow traffic between them. It's something you'll have to watch to really get the real understanding of. I don't think I could live there, could you?
Tilted at a 55 degree angle Rotterdam’s “Cube Houses” (Kubuswoningen) seem to defy gravity. Dreamed up by architect Piet Blum in the 1970s to help the city t...

Cool, yeah, but I couldn't stand to live in it... If there weren't so many weird angled walls and I didn't have to look out the window...

@ScribbledAdNauseum - I could probably adapt. It might be fun. For awhile, anyway.

Yes, her son (I am assuming) seemed very content with it but I have a bony bum and it simply wouldn't do for me!

I could live in it, provided there were no windows! Looking at it makes me feel queasy. It would be quirky to live in. :)

I don't think I could look out the windows, that's for sure. I like the idea of narrow spaces but many floors, and I know that the windows help give the illusion that the place is bigger.

I would feel like Alice in wonderland. Confuse. Despite the amenities provided. I would not live in it.

Looks a bit confusing but interesting. I am claustrophobic so I couldn't live in one.

Yes, it is a bit confusing... I am a bit claustrophobic but only when in elevators. I can't think of a time I've experienced it otherwise.
