NewzResidents of the L-flat and Geroflat in Zeist, the largest apartment complex in the Netherlands, are currently living amidst 25,000 support pillars installed to address structural issues, including slanted galleries and sloping balconies. These remedial measures have negatively impacted the usable living space and overall quality of life for the tenants residing in the buildings.
