The Cube House design was inspired by similar cube houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the 1970s. Piet Blom was the architect of those original structures. He thought of them as "trees" with living space branching out of a trunk-like basis. Groups of such homes became "forests".
Cube House has been at the center of legal wrangles about land ownership and the eventual fate of the building is uncertain. Kutner and Brown, however, they called "unitri." However, they did not own the land they did not own their landowners. In the end, the landowner was considered to be the owner of the building, rather than Kutner and Brown.
