The Papaverhof is a housing complex in The Hague designed by architect Jan Wils and built between 1919 and 1921. Comprising 128 middle-class homes arranged in horseshoe fashion around a sunken communal garden, the complex marked Wils' breakthrough as an architect. Each dwelling features its own yard enclosed by wooden fencing and matching cement flower pots, contributing to the cohesive architectural character of the ensemble. The Papaverhof is designated a Rijksmonument and ranks among the Netherlands' Top 100 heritage sites, having undergone restoration campaigns in 1958, 1971, 1989, and 2006.
