Bolwoningen, Experimental housing complex in Maaspoort, 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.
The complex contains 50 spherical houses made of glass fiber reinforced concrete, each measuring 5.5 meters in diameter with three distinct living levels.
Dutch architect Dries Kreijkamp designed and constructed these houses in 1984 as part of a government-funded program for experimental residential architecture.
The Bolwoningen complex represents the Dutch structuralism movement, emphasizing the connection between architectural design and social engagement in urban environments.
Each spherical residence spans 55 square meters, featuring bedrooms on the bottom level, bathrooms in the middle, and living spaces with round windows at the top.
The houses rest on cylindrical concrete bases, creating an arrangement that differs from traditional residential architecture with their mushroom-like appearance.
