In 1968 the Dutch government allocated funding for an experimental housing project in the city of Hertogenbosch. Responding to a call for submissions, artist/designer Dries Kreijkamp proposed Bolwoningen (Ball Houses), and his unusual concept was chosen. The design sat on the shelf until 1980 when construction of fifty of the small homes began.
Each 18-foot diameter sphere consists of prefabricated panels made of fiberglass-reinforced concrete mounted on a cylindrical base. Weighing only 2.8 tons, it can be disassembled and relocated.
The experimental neighborhood of Bolwoningen remains as a tourist curiosity, and holiday rentals are available.

Except for the steps leading up, I could live in that! Myself and my 10 pound Rottweiler named Guido don’t need much room. We lived in a 19 ft travel trailer for eight years roaming the South and Midwest .

Only 10 pounds? Guido must have had a monster tapeworm.
An eight-year roadtrip sounds like fun. Guess you were job-hopping too.

No, Guido is a Chihuahua, she just thinks she is a Rottweiler. I did take small jobs when I needed extra money. I had all my bills paid for, no debt except for my cell phone and insurance. I lived off of my SS and pensions. I was still able to bank quite a bit of money even traveling. I ate in my camper and would boondock a lot so no RV space rent. I want to go back to it!

The locals didn’t like them much either. That futurism crap lasted well into the 1970s.
