The Rietveld Schroder House was built in 1924 by Gerrit Rietveld in Utrecht, Netherlands. The owner, Truus Schroder-Schrader, wanted the house to have a connection between the outside and inside. Interestingly, as seen in the photograph below, there is no attempt in the design to match the buildings next to it.
Truus Schroder-Schrader wanted to ideally have no walls in here house, but have the option of still separating the space if it needed to be. This was mostly achieved by using sliding/revolving panels. When the panels are used, the house consists of three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, and living room.
I enjoy the way this house was designed because of how simple it is. The lines make it look simple and is very eye appealing. The way the rooms function and are able to adapt to the situation are a great feature to have. In my opinion, this house was ahead of its time.
