Rietveld’s house for Truus Schröder (1924)—planes, lines, and primary colour at domestic scale. UNESCO World Heritage; guided interior visits by reservation. Outside, a composition of planes and lines; inside, sliding partitions remake “rooms” day by day. Furniture and architecture speak one language—a small total design.

Highlights

Exterior planes and lines — Is the wall a thick box, or a set of white planes?
Upper-floor partitions (on tour) — When panels move, how does family distance change?
