There is a very quiet and typical Dutch residential area located on the north side of ‘s-Hertogenbosch station which is on the south side of the Netherlands.

オランダの南方、‘s-Hertogenbosch駅の北方に位置する、オランダのらしい閑静な住宅街。公園に挟まれた運河の水際に、突如現れる不思議な住宅群。一見、巨大化されたゴルフボールのようにも見える。この住宅群は、プロダクトデザイナー兼彫刻家のDries Kreijkamp (1937 – 2014)によって1980年に設計された。Dries Kreijkampは球体は人間と動物にとって、最も自然で根本的な住環境であるという理論を元に、球体という形体に興味を持った時期があった。
