Baarle Hertog Social Housing Estate

Gravin Hilsondisstraat, 2387 Baarle Hertog
1960

In 1959 Vanhout received the first of many assignments for the Turnhout Society for Housing. Initially he worked in the typical modernist style, with the façade in light brick and the side walls in dark brick, and with windows at the front of the façade interspersed with panels. A clear example of this are the 25 homes he designed in Baarle-Hertog (1960).
