Modern architecture is not really my cup of tea, but a trip to Amsterdam in winter doesn´t leave you many options for nearby WH sites, and since Utrecht is just about 30 minutes by train, I thought I´d give it a try, and it was actually quite nice. Utrecht is a pleasant and historically important city with a big cathedral and a belfry, and the well-organized, but rather expensive tour from the Central Museum doesn´t require much organizing. I guess I wouldn´t have found this out-of-the-way building on my own, anyway. The architecture has been described in great detail here, so everybody will know by now that this house is incredibly small (yes, I can´t imagine that there would be a smaller WH site, either), but very well planned and constructed, with lots of small details you couldn´t notice yourself. So it was a nice outing on an untypically pleasant winter day, and since it was my personal 100th WH site, there was nothing I could complain about.
