Darkstar sent me this fabulous Google Earth Houses. You can see both photos inside this article, along with Google Maps aerial photo of the location. Anyone lives near them?

We had some pretty cool satellite images in the past too. Be sure to check Google Earth category for more like: mega zoom airport, ipod shuffle, MC Escher Town, swastika building, Selhurst park Jesus, flying car…

They are real. I can see them from my front door… they’re only a 2-minute walk from my apartment. The inside is not as weird as you might think – but on the other hand, I don’t think the occupants can buy their furniture at Ikea… *g* Currently (since they’re mostly unoccupied) there is a hot debate raging between the “GREAT idea!” and the “Not in OUR neighborhood!” factions over using them to house prisoners – presumably convicts on work-release or some such, without official supervision – but nothing has come of it as of yet. Anyway, just thought I would throw in my 2 eurocents. :) Incidentally, these houses are intended to be artistic representations of trees (the cube itself representing the greenery), or so I was told by the personnel in the office/slash/souvenir shop in the complex. I too have lots of photos of the “kubuswoningen” but I can’t remember if I took any photos while I was inside. PS to the folks who said they live nearby – Dutch? American? Any homeboys/homegirls in the room? (I’m from the Deep South, but when living in a foreign land, those “regional distinctions” drop away and we’re just Americans. LOL) Cheers… Erin in R’dam
Ive been in those houses ones. The houses are very small and have an unusual and unpracticle design. Someone on here said he wanted to see the interior. Alot of room isn’t there to put alot of furniture in, so if you buy a weird house like that you might buy some exclusive furniture aswell.
I got dizzy while walking around in it, because of the windows pointing down so you can see the street. Its like a gab behind your couch where there used to be a wall. Its still worth visiting one of the ‘museum’ ones if your in the area though.
this is so stuupid it makes absolutely no sense what so ever and i think that you people should get a new hobby
WOW!
this is very close to where i live!
sweet…
I love the illusion,but what’s the illusion?
