Love your shot! I sat and stared for some time. Then I had to look these up – artistic, but strange. Must be odd living there.

Very odd, though they seem quite popular

I saw this only after I saw 6WS (now I understand that title). You say everything is at angle inside. Exactly what I’ve been wondering. I can intellectually appreciate a innovative design but too often I’ve seen designs (for the looks) override the needs of the people living inside. A simple example: the compound we lived in Saudi decided to go colourful and the houses were painted (outside) in a warm dark red, ochre, and puke green. We ended up in a puke green house and people used to comment on how horrible it was. But my response was practical: When I looked outside I saw the red and yellow of my neighbours, they had to look on our puke!

Glad you liked it, Jo. The yellow gets a bit distracting after a while 🙂

Very unusual. The intention had been to build many more across Netherlands but it didn’t happen. And coming your side of the waters, there are three similar ones in Toronto, apparently. And they didn’t multiply either!

This is a really fabulous shot. i’ve been looking at it for ages and I can’t quite puzzle out how you did it….The houses seem to slant inwards…?Beautiful work!

They really do! They are cubes standing on their corners. The idea was to make it look like a forest apparently, and from some angles yo can see that idea. But these are odd places to live. I’ve been inside one and needless to say, everything is at an angle!

So we’re just supposed to believe you that they’re yellow, Debbie??? 🙂 Great perspective for the shot and a bit disorienting.

I misread your comment and thought you said “Get perspective, your shot is a bit disorienting”. I was just about to tsk you off! HA! Somebody’s coffee hasn’t kicked in yet….
