Think like a resident
The Kijk-Kubus presents itself as a museum home. The official website emphasises the unusual shapes and the creativity that furnishing it requires. Make that your own viewing task: find a place for a dining table, a bed or that one cupboard you have at home. Does your choice change when you look in a different direction?
A house on three levels
According to the visitor information, the home has three levels connected by stairs. Treat each level as a separate puzzle. Where is the space usable, and where does the shape determine what you can do? That is a different way of looking at architecture from just taking a photo of the outside.
One more look from outside
After your visit, try to point out where you stood inside. Which corner belonged to which room? You do not have to decide whether you would want to live there yourself. It is interesting enough to notice which things you take for granted in your own home you have to rethink here.
Before you go
Allow for the stairs between the three levels. Ask in advance about the options if climbing stairs is difficult for you.
