That, of course, did nothing to make me...

The Netherlands needs thousands of new homes to accommodate its growing population and it might not build them all – some may end up being printed. As part of a program exploring how the country can create the homes it needs, Elize Lutz and Harrie Dekkers have moved into a new 94-square-metre, two-bedroom home that resembles a boulder with windows.
