The Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht was designed by Gerrit Rietveld for Truus Schröder-Schräder and her three children and completed in 1924. The article calls the style De Stijl. It became a listed monument in 1976 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.
The walls are brick and plaster, with concrete foundations and balconies, wooden window frames, doors and floors, and steel girders with wire mesh. Concrete was planned for the whole house but proved too expensive. The upper floor is a flexible open zone divided by sliding and revolving panels, and the windows hinge open only 90 degrees.
The facades combine detached planes in white, gray, black and primary colors. Schröder lived there until her death in 1985, and Bertus Mulder restored it. The Centraal Museum runs it as a museum, and the article gives no hours.
