This is probably one of the few geodesic-homes in the Netherlands, and it's found in the little village Ruigoord, near Amsterdam. An "artistic free-state", Ruigoord (literally 'rough place') is a small polder enclosed by Amsterdams harbours and industry and a host for artists and festivals. A photo of the dome can be found at, with more pictures of 'green' Ruigoord in the linked gallery.
