Dutch Tudor style... ahum.. another thing to lookup - dutch tudor?
- okay, I did some searching and I believe it indeed seems to come from what
you could maybe call a form of Dutch Barok. It has never really been a
'style' in the strict sense of the word, as it is 'only' noted as a part of
the Dutch golden age [18th century colonial period]... it's more of an
excess I guess. In this period our tiny country was the centerpoint of
international trade and money kept pooring in so abundantly that they hardly
knew what to do with it any more. You might guess that this was only
acquired at the dispence of other peoples, specially the colonys in Asia,
Africa and central America.
Back to housing; It is very appealing though to see such Dutch housing in
their 'original' state still nowerdays [often renovated or restaurated of
course]. At present this style isn't used at all by anyone here, it's not
fashionable I guess. But that can change by the day, right now I believe the
style of the 50's upperclass housing is experiencing a strong revival, whole
suburbs are ercted in this manner.
so much for history, let's go back to the future with REVIT

really dutch or not, I can't say.
