Biesbosch Living is a speculative property development site created to highlight what little questioning we do, both of information and ethics, when it comes to our own desires. The houses were launched publicly on marktplaats and gained interest not only from potential buyers but also from property agents who hoped to help sell the Biesbosch homes.
