    The residents of IJburg (pronounced "i" burg) - a quiet Amsterdam suburb that sits on artificial islands along the IJ river - have a new, flashy neighbor, but we doubt that anyone will complain about it. Already known for his trademark design style that lives somewhere at the busy intersection of architecture, communication, community and ecology, Marc Koehler's latest project - the IJburg House - does not disappoint. This is one cube house that refuses to be square.
