這12棟房子作為Hilversum的林中高檔住宅區域和從Diependaal來的二級公路防噪音路堤融為一體。雖然基地環境不那么優越，甲方在一開始也抱有懷疑態度，此設計帶有未來感而非幻想感的設計還是吸引了住戶。他們在看到設計圖紙后就當即買下。而建成則是幾年之后的事情了。

沒有這個房屋屏障讓環境噪音降到可以接受的范圍內，Diependaal其余城市設計規劃將永不見天日。房屋防噪屏障在甲方看來可以說是種先天利他主義殘疾。不過這種先天殘疾又印證了Nio和他的團隊的非典型方案的獨到優越之處。例如，處理背面的黑暗的解決方案將二樓客廳懸挑出去。不是每個人都認為缺少花園是一個缺點。比如即便是在郊區，露臺也可以是銷售賣點的爭論點。

在Hilversum，就像任何如夢境般的環境里，房子可以同時像巖洞和巨人。當你看到兩排相對的公寓往往會聯想到此比喻。所有路過的居民都是探險者，受到有毒射線的威脅，懷念和平的未受污染的自然之地。只有癡迷于美國亞文化和悲觀主義預言極少數新現代主義的建筑師，才敢公開譴責。

‘The twelve houses form an integral part of a soundproof embankment along a secondary road from Diependaal， an exclusive residential district in the woods of Hilversum. Despite its inhospitable setting and the clients’ initial scepticism， the futuristic， not to say fantastic， design of the houses attracted users who bought their houses of the drawing board， several years before delivery.

Without what is in effect a screen of houses， allowing the level of ambient noise to be brought down to acceptable limits， the rest of the urban design plan for Diependaal would never have seen the light of day. The project’s congenital， altruistic handicap justified the atypical solutions eventually proposed by Nio and his associates in the face of the client’s reservations. So for example the answer to the darkness at the back of the plot was to cantilever out the living room at the first floor level. Moreover， not everyone considers the lack of a garden to be a drawback， and a terrace can be a sales argument， even in suburbia. In Hilversum， as in any fantastic setting， a house can be both a cavern and a giant， a term that could just as easily refer to the block of flats opposite. The residents are all explorers who are just passing through，threatened by poisonous rays and nostalgic for a place of peace and unspoiled nature that only a handful of neo-modernistic architects， obsessed by the American subculture and pessimistic prophecies， still dare to denounce publicly.’
