Gerrit Rietveld: Private Home for Slegers

Rietveld designed this studio house for an artist, Piet Slegers in 1952-1954. He tends to use a lot of windows in his designs as he did here. He also used a lot of geometric shapes and colors. Here the room that is all windows is the studio/ living room area and the room with less windows is the bedrooms. I like how he always added these shapes and colors into his buildings, here we can see he used red and yellow and designed the windows in a grid like pattern. This is carried into the house as well.
