Cube houses in Helmond - Blockchain architecture in a cozy Dutch city on a spring day in may-

            Description in English and Dutch:

English

The Rotterdam cube houses by top architect Piet Blom are world famous. However, what many people don't realize is that this was not Blom's first cube project. The first cube houses were built in the cozy Dutch Brabant city of Helmond. The houses in Rotterdam were later given a different color and are slightly different in size and layout. Cube houses are the most iconic houses in the Netherlands. The architecture, art and functionality are connected in an ingenious and creative way. The Helmond houses are tilted cubes on piles. Blom had thought that strange forms of living with a perspective upside down will bring out the ultimate creativity of a person during the furnishing of the house. When you step inside, everything is different from a normal home and it is also nice that the upper part is made entirely of glass. Some people think that the mysterious unknown cult person Satoshi Nakamoto was a big fan of Piet Blom's blocks that are connected to each other. According to this theory, he or she would have been inspired by the cube houses to develop the blockchain technology for bitcoin.

De Rotterdamse kubuswoningen van toparchitect Piet Blom zijn wereldberoemd. Echter wat veel mensen niet realiseren is dat dit niet het eerste kubusproject van Blom was. De eerste kubuswoningen zijn namelijk gebouwd in de gezellige  brabantse stad Helmond. De woningen in Rotterdam hebben later een andere kleur gekregen en zijn qua grote en indeling net een tikkeltje anders. Kubuswoningen zijn de meest iconische woningen van Nederland. De architectuur, kunst en functionaliteit zijn op een ingenieuze en creatieve manier met elkaar verbonden. De Helmondse woningen zijn gekantelde kubusen op palen. Blom had bedacht dat rare woonvormen met een perspectief op zijn kop de ultieme creativiteit van een mens naar boven zal brengen bij het inrichten. Als je er binnen stapt is alles anders dan in een gewone woning en het is ook leuk dat het bovenste gedeelte helemaal van glas is gemaakt. Er zijn zelfs mensen die oprecht denken dat de mysterieze onbekende anonieme persoon Satoshi Nakamoto  groot fan was van Piet Blom en dat de eerste blockchaintechnologie voor bitcoin geïnspireerd is op de kubuswoningen.
