Description
Spacious, open, lovely early modernist iconic family house with ample space for a practice of office at home(1974), 468 m² living space with a large outdoor swimming pool (14m x 5.5m x 3m). It really is a perfect family house with several office spaces with private entrance, 3 indoor garages, located in a lovely green residential setting, next to to the park “Berg en Bos” on the edge of the National Park the 'Hoge Veluwe' and only 45 minutes by car to the beltway of Amsterdam. The lot has a size of 1.580 m2.
The Villa is designed in accordance with the philosophy of the masters of early modernism, the architects Richard Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright. The starting point of this movement is: 'Comfortable sitting inside, while you have the feeling that you are outside' (D.Neutra).
The environment, while designing the house itself, is taken into account. This results in a harmoniously blend in of the villa in the environment. The swimming pool, besides to enjoy swimming, is also meant to add the soothing element of water.
Every detail of the house breathes the spirit of early modernism, with a positive influence on the human condition as the central theme. The house is designed to change and enrich your life.

The main hall on this floor (10m by 3.28m) was frequently used by the children of the house as playroom. There used to be a large table tennis table.

Here is also an area, called the "engine room": the central heating/warm water for the whole house and the swimming pool and the purification system for the pool, all renewed in 2021, are located in this area. The basement is accessible by stairs in two places in the house.
