No, this isn't a massive, real-life implementation of a surreal M.C. Escher idea. They're actual occupied houses!  Designed in 1984 by architect Piet Blom, the cube of a "convetional house" is tilted 45 degrees and placed on a hexagon-shaped pylon.  Almost 40 cube homes are attached to each other, forming a massive, mind-boggling structure.  The interior of each unit appears to be a typical 3-story modern home.
