Lecture Five A - Case Study / Rietveld - Schroder House


The Rietveld Schroder House in Ultrecht was built in 1924 by dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld for Mrs. Truus Schroder-Schrader and her three children. She commissioned the house to be designed preferably without any walls. The house is one of the best known examples of De Stijl- architecture and also arguably the only true De Stijl building.


The location of this house let the house look more simple and more special, although it have a simple out look but it included some difficult definition in it. Is how amazing to have different interior space in different time or even different mood and feelings. In today’s interior design of an apartment, normally, there are two or three rooms in a floor. Some time it is great to have a private space to do some private things that you don’t want other to disturb you. because of this limited of space, people used to stay in their own space of paradise, when times goes by, the communication of family have decrease, it will also create so much of misunderstanding and mistrust between families members. But this situation, seems will not occurs in the Rietveld Schroder House; it can be a totally open plan, also can be a individual space when you needed. How amazing this design is?


The Rietveld Schroder House constitutes both inside and outside a radical break with all architecture before it. The two-story house is built onto the end of a terrace, but is makes no attempt to relater to its neighbouring buildings. And when you go inside, there is no static accumulation of rooms, but a dynamic, changeable open zone. In-between this open space is a wide variety of possible permutations, each providing its own spatial experience.


Just like before I think that, some time is hard to break some rules which are already existed. But who can break it successfully, who are really success. To study on this case, I can learn so much of details, also have some new influence of designing a interior open space.
