I don't think the house' plot is weird, but it is weird that the surrounding fields don't have vegetation. ~~England~~Belgium does not need to be a steppe.
They seem to be freshly ploughed, something will grow there, eventually.
A house with a narrow strip for a garden is a bit weird though
IIRC that's a house in Zaventem, aka Brussels Airport. So, not a great spot place to build a house.
I don't remember the exact story, but that was supposed to be row housing... but ain't no-one building any more houses there.
Looks more like harrowed or cultivated than ploughed.
What I initially meant was that the fields are large-ish and could have more and better buffer strips among them.
House. Garden. Soccer field. Reading grove.
Perfection.
This is Belgium, it's a great example of what we call "koterijen"
What does koterij roughly mean in English (or German)?
It refers to the annexes you see growing out of the back of the house. People used to (and sometimes still do) start with a modest house, and then as time went on and money came in, build out into the yard, adding a new kitchen, toilet, shed, veranda, etc.
It has since also come to refer to things that get extended and patched up over time without a lot of coherence or forethought, like our tax codes (they just add rules, bonuses, penalties, etc. on top of the baseline instead of doing a thorough tax reform)
Is modularity then kind of a thing in Belgian society?
Well, we have 6 governments, does that count?
