Exterior view: Oblique view of the street and entrance facades. Adjacent terraced house is visible to the left. A small De Stijl-inspired house built at the end of a row of ordinary terraced houses in the suburbs of Utrecht with a motorway, built in the 1960's, beyond it. Commissioned by Truus Schröder-Schräder for herself and her three children. She lived in the house until her death in 1985. Designed by her and Rietveld the upper, living level comprises of a bathroom, toilet and a large open area with sliding partitions that allow it to be temporarily subdivided.
