Bolwoningen
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.
