PRIVATE HOUSE DE WACHTER

H.TH. WIJDEVELD, 1925-1926, Dr. J.P. Heijelaan 2, Amersfoort

ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Hendrik Wijdeveld

BUILDING TYPE:
Freestanding houses

This freestanding house has an oblong basic form, a complex Cubist composition enlivened by the curves of bays and balconies and by an individual use of material, including vertical slate cladding and decorative brickwork. A pergola of brick and wood leads to a freestanding garden pavilion. These days the house is divided into two, with the former underground passage between house and garage sealed off and functioning as an extra entrance.
