Colourful homes in Reitdiephaven, Groningen, Netherlands
Rainbow row
The biggest city in the northern region of the Netherlands – and one of the largest outside the urban area known as the Randstad – Groningen is home to an architectural hodgepodge. Here you'll find traditional Dutch designs with ornate façades, blocky and practical mid-century buildings and undulating experimental structures, combining to form an offbeat cityscape. Some of Groningen's eclectic looks are drawn from other European locales. These colourful pond-side residences in the Reitdiephaven neighbourhood, for example, are inspired by Scandinavian fishing villages.

Inspired by homes in Scandinavian villages, these rowhouses are in another part of Europe.
