Bolvagan, located in the Netherlands, features 50 unique sphere houses designed by Derice Krushchkamm in 1984. These homes, supported by a Dutch government subsidy, are made of cement and fibreglass. They have three levels: bedrooms on the ground, a bathroom in the middle, and a living space on top. The design aims to connect inhabitants with nature through round windows offering scenic views. Despite their futuristic appearance, these homes are still inhabited, preserving the designer's legacy.
