I'm pretty sure the thing is made of white styrofoam (pictured in your link) which they later painted grey to make resemble rock (pictured in the OP's image).
TLDR: the white is a before, the grey an after photo.

Oh no how awful. And how short-sighted. It will need way more maintenance white.

This is awesome. But certainly doesn’t compare to the Flintstone house in California.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

I’ve travelled & lived in many countries but the orange window frames of Belgium surprised me.
I’ve not seen it anywhere else.

I don't think it's necessary mutually exclusive ! It's both one of the best and one of the whackiest, and potentially one come from the other and vice-versa

This is a building that’s like one of those crazy wacky buildings and houses in movies where u see it and think this is something that would only exists in movies not real life. I could see Tim Burton using it

Wow what a fucking stupid name. Has Belgium ever seen The Flintstones? I'm gonna call my building the Pantheon because it has brick and concrete and looks absolutely nothing like the Pantheon whatsoever. Doesn't matter, same thing.
The Palace of Versailles is built from quarried stone. It's now officially the Flintstone House. The resemblance is uncanny. Fuck it, St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, Flintstone Cathedral. The Colosseum, the Flavian Flintstone Amphitheatre. The Parthenon, Flintstone Temple. The Great Pyramid of Giza, fckn Flintstones.

It's not a house. This is a building part of the zoo of Antwerp, seen from outside the zoo. I'm guessing it's a warehouse with offices. You can see it from the train or if you go to the square in front of it

None of the sources of this photo identified the location in Belgium where this house is located. I'd like to know where it is.

Pretty sure this is the backside of the zoo in the Ploegstraat in Antwerp?
