Cube Houses tickets and the show house

The main reason to enter the show house is to understand how ordinary rooms fit inside the tilted structure. From outside, the yellow cubes read as a single architectural group; indoors, stairs, angled walls and changing floor shapes explain the practical compromises. Separate your visit into time inside the ticketed house and a walk through the public passages around the development.
