彩虹骑行与宁静氛围 Rainbow rides and quiet vibes

彩虹屋，荷兰豪滕

你不会找到纪念品商店或旅游地图指引方向——但沿着豪滕的里特普拉斯湖畔，你会偶然发现荷兰最令人意想不到的上镜景点之一。虽然许多人涌向阿姆斯特丹的运河或鹿特丹的方块屋，但这座宁静的通勤小镇却拥有独特的建筑风格。彩虹屋如海市蜃楼般鳞次栉比，闪耀着大胆的绘画色彩——一个住宅区变成了一个低调的文化地标。

对当地人来说，它们只是日常生活的一部分。但对于摄影师和设计爱好者来说，它们是色彩饱和、对称的梦幻景观。该建筑群由汉斯·比恩 (Hans Been) 设计，于 2005 年竣工，将加勒比海风情与北欧的内敛风格融为一体，呼应了简约渔村的面貌。每栋房子都反射出不同的色彩。这不是一个精心策划的旅游景点；这些都是有人居住的住宅，它们所在的社区也经过了同样周到的规划，而豪滕正是凭借这种规划成为全国最适合骑自行车的城镇之一。从湖对岸或附近的桥上欣赏这些色彩鲜艳的建筑外观最为理想，它们就像一个秘密，只有在合适的光线下才能幸运地捕捉到：迷人、惊喜，而且低调得令人耳目一新。

The Rainbow Houses of Houten, Netherlands

You won't find souvenir shops or tourist maps pointing the way—but follow the edge of Lake Rietplas in Houten, and you'll stumble upon one of the Netherlands' most unexpectedly photogenic sights. While many flock to Amsterdam's canals or Rotterdam's cube houses, this quiet commuter town offers its own architectural twist. Lined up like a mirage, the Rainbow Houses shimmer in bold, painterly hues—a residential block turned an understated cultural landmark.

To locals, they're simply part of the daily backdrop. But for photographers and design lovers, they're a dreamscape of saturation and symmetry. Designed by Hans Been and completed in 2005, the ensemble blends Caribbean flair with Nordic restraint, echoing the look of a minimalist fishing village. Each house reflects a different color of the spectrum. This isn't a curated tourist stop; these are lived-in homes, part of a neighborhood shaped by the same thoughtful planning that makes Houten one of the most bike-friendly towns in the country. Best seen from across the lake or a nearby bridge, these vibrant facades feel like a secret you're lucky to catch in the right light: charming, surprising, and refreshingly under the radar.
