This Nieuwe Bouwen home was designed by Brinkman and Van der Vlugt in 1929. A rare example of Dutch Functionalism, the Sonneveld Huise has slabs of concrete attached to a steel frame, opening up the walls for large windows and easy reorganization.
By adhering to modernist Le Corbusier’s principles of space and light, Vlugt created a modern building that lasts. The interior is quite sculptural while the exterior doesn’t bring any attention to itself, unlike today’s flashy modernism.
