Netherlands - Rotterdam - Cube cubed

Over the years I've seen many photos of the Piet Blom Cube Houses in Rotterdam, many of them have been a variation from this view. This is my attempt to create something a little different with a fisheye photo of the iconic Rotterdam Cube Houses.

I should add that I was inspired by the work of one of my long time Flickr contacts, Paul Brouns. If you don't know his work then I'd urge you to take a look at his flickr account : www.flickr.com/people/brouns/

From Wikipedia "Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside."
