Sonneveld House
Source

Sonneveld House Museum, situated on the edge of Museumpark in Rotterdam, is one of the best-preserved homes built in the Dutch Functionalist style. It was designed in the 1930s by architecture office Brinkman and Van der Vlugt, renowned for the Van Nelle Factory and Feyenoord Stadium. They also worked on the interior in close collaboration with W.H. Gispen. Sonneveld House shows how a prominent Rotterdam family embraced modernism, and how that choice coloured their everyday surroundings. The interior has been enriched with art and utensils acquired through donations, purchases and loans.

    Huis Sonneveld is een erg interessant huis om te bezoeken als je in Rotterdam bent. Het huis is totaal ingericht en teruggebracht zoals het geweest moet zijn. Bijzonder hoe modern dit huis in die tijd al was en nu nog steeds eigenlijk is. Een fantastische kans om zo'n huis te zien en uniek in de wereld! In het huis is overigens een leuke audiotour beschikbaar met achtergrondinformatie die erg aan te raden is!
