6 photo: Ernst Moritz photo: Dirk Verwoerd Rietveld Schröderhuis Prins Hendriklaan Utrecht A visit to the Rietveld Schröder House remains a fascinating experience This house is the only building ever realized on the basis of the architectural principles of De Stijl Typical features are the use of the Stijl colours red, blue and yellow, in combination with white, grey and black, the relation between interior and exterior and the unity between the free-standing pieces of furniture and the fitted parts of the interior According to Rietveld and Schröder one had to have an active attitude to life For them too living in a home is a conscious act The furnishing of the house reflects this conviction The occupant has to perform a transaction for every activity: the bathroom is created by opening out a wall, while the sleeping areas could be screened off with sliding walls, and privacy was obtained by placing shutters in front of the windows The house is literally a machine for living in photo: Jannes Linders 1924 Gerrit Rietveld Truus Schröder MI_MOA On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can visit the Rietveld Schröderhuis The house can only be visited with a tour of max 10 people You can reserve a place in the tour by sending an to rhreserveringen[at]centraalmuseumnl There is a special Rietveld bus that leaves from the Centraal Museum at 1145, 1245, 1345 and 1445 hr It takes you to all Rietveld-designs and back to the Centraal Museum (address: Nicolaaskerkhof 10, Utrecht) 6
