Cube houses (Kijk-Kubus) were designed by architect Piet Blom. They are based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, its main purpose being to optimize the space inside.

The 1977 original plan showed 55 houses, but not all of them were built. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other. The houses contain three floors: ground floor entrance, first floor with living room and open kitchen, second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom, top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden.
