Rietveld Schröder House

The Rietveld Schröder House, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Netherlands, is an iconic example of De Stijl architecture, designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1924. Commissioned by Truus Schröder, it features a revolutionary open-plan design with movable walls, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and abstract geometric forms. Its use of primary colors and clean lines reflects the artistic principles of the De Stijl movement, pioneered by Piet Mondrian. The house stands as a testament to innovative modernist design and remains a preserved architectural landmark.
