In the 1930s, the architect Piet Elling (1897-1962) designed three free-standing residences in Hilversum. The Liebert House was commissioned by the director of Radio Holland. It combines a main block for living and sleeping with a less-tall block of garage and storage space. In-between the two are the entrance, staircase and flue; the terrace and balcony assemble in a roofed area at the back. This was the first building in which Elling, a great admirer of De Stijl, used an interior colour design by Bart van der Leck in a synthesis of architecture and art, with patches of red, yellow and blue on the walls and ceiling of the living room.See also https://www.architectureguide.nl/project/item/prj_id/633" class="inline_link">private house Doyer and https://www.architectureguide.nl/project/item/prj_id/632" class="inline_link">private house Polak in Hilversum.
