Hermitage development in Zaandam

Hermitage development in Zaandam, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

We saw this development as we came out of the train on Saturday evening, on the way to the Eurovision In Concert event in Westzaan. This had Fred and me cycling back to Zaandam yesterday to have a better loook.

It is a modern development which incorporates styles of traditional houses from the area, such hopuses being wooden constractions, painted green with white windows, as well as some impressive gables.

These buildings are built on a much bigger scale and some are for appartments, some for offices, shops and even a cinema.
