Construction of the new neighborhood Wilgenrijk is taking place at lightning speed in the polder near Maassluis. Where once the wind blew over the crops, now a wind of change is blowing. With a strict esthetics committee and a style manual, the housing appearance of Wilgenrijk is kept neo-classically Dutch. But 1 house stands out: Huis8020 with its double saddle roof and wide brick chimney and portal refer to the prairie style ‘in a modern jacket’ as the Dutch say.
