Informal cube in Rotterdam, the Netherlands by jvantspijker urbanism architecture researchDecember 21st, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: jvantspijker urbanism architecture research Jvantspijker Architects have designed a sturdy cube shaped house in the centre of Rotterdam. With its spatial 3-dimensional lay-out the building allows a modern family to meet the paradoxical demands of urban life: The house provides community as well as privacy to its inhabitants and it is both connected to and sheltered from the street and the surrounding city. The exterior of plain white bricks, encases a plan organized by split-level sections. The house is an urban monolith, albeit one glowing with interior life.  Image Courtesy © Ossip van Duivenbode

These five ingredients have been interwoven resulting in a playful composition organized around the spacious central staircase. Large windows across the corners of the house catch light from various angles and reinforce the spatial richness of the interior.
