I've discovered the neighborhood where MR lives!

It's Bolwoningen (it means "ball houses") in the Netherlands. It's 50 spherical tiny-homes built in 1980 as an experiment in affordable housing. Each ball house is two stories tall. It has a bathroom in the center of the bottom floor with sleeping areas around the circumference. The top level is a living room kitchen area.
