🇳🇱 The Iconic 'Bubble Houses' of Den Bosch

🏠 Where 1980s Dutch architecture got delightfully weird! Meet the Bolwoningen ("Ball Houses") ⚽ 50 identical spherical homes in 's-Hertogenbosch • Born from a 1968 affordable housing contest (built 1980) • Designed by Dries Kreijkamp as "anti-box" utopian living Specs That Defy Gravity 📐 5.5m-wide concrete spheres with fiberglass coating 🪟 11 porthole windows per orb (like a spaceship!) 🏗️ Prefab magic: Each weighs only 1,250kg (could be moved whole!) Inside the Bubble 🌀 Central core: Bathroom + tiny bedroom ☕ Upper ring: Kitchen/living area with 360° views 🌍 Floor plan: Like living inside a globe turned upside-down #ArchitectureWonders #DutchDesign
