PRIVATE HOUSE DE WITTE RAAF

A. KOMTER, 1927-1936, Veldweg 69, Hattem

ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Auke Komter

BUILDING TYPE:
Freestanding houses

This house for the architect's mother is one of the most functionalist of Komter's designs, still influenced somewhat by his former teacher Le Corbusier. It has an exposed steel frame, a variety of curved walls and sliding and folding partitions. The part containing the garage, kitchen and servants' room is distinguished from the living area but not separated from it.
