cubic houses
These buildings were the first cubic houses in Holland, a country better known for its beautiful
spindly buildings that tower above passers-by. The concept behind this unusual design was to
create a living roof in which people could have sufficient space in an area of high density housing.
After three test versions the “woonwoud” (living woods) were finally built in the area of Helmond,
arranged around the Theater ‘t Speelhuis. Now one of the houses remains unoccupied so that visit
-ors can take a look and get a feel for the unconventional use of interior space~
