Tour The Interior (Narration Followed By Photos) This is a symmetric house, three spans broad, with two storeys, latter under a nodded mansard-roof of which the floor is and has been plastered entirely hoary. The area of the main house is in excess of 700m². The ground floor has four right angled corners and opens itself on the West Side to a Doric portal, which stands in the forefront of two side spans, with high windows. Wijdefeld has located the service aisle, with smaller windows and a separate entrance exposed to the East. The entrée allows access to the vestibule which, from floor till ceiling, is covered with richly veined arabesque marble. This room is heated with hot air coming through copper floor grids. To the left corner, a former consulting room is to be found, and adjacent is the cloak-room with the original 4 hooks on a marbled panel. In its prolongation lies a toilet, which is lit by an octagonal window. Leaving the vestibule, one arrives in a centrally located hall fully wooden coated. The lambris is made out of mahogany whilst the he parquet is made out of four different types of wood, laid in a a four angles pattern with the diagonal positioning of embedded squares. The richly decorated high cassette ceiling is painted in white. On the pen drawing of the hall, Wijdeveld has commended the ceiling to be in ebony and coromandel lack. Because of the highly costly types of wood, the ceiling was originally not decorated. The central heating – a very modern feature in those days – was hidden, for esthetical reasons, and provided by eight bronze radiators. The four angle hedge in the front of the top windows with the Roman inscription/motive “Kreis im Quadrat” shows the influence of the work of Peter Behrens. The access to the large garden terrace is granted by a glass door, opening to the outside. The East located staircase leads to the upper floor where master bedroom, boudoir, children bedroom and another room with bathroom are located. . Bronze shaped classical griffons decorate the balustrade of the staircase. This floor is adorned by a cassette vaulted ceiling. The servant’s quarters, earlier, were in the attic: the separation between masters and servant’s quarters were extraordinarily strict in this house. Behind the staircase lies the original access for staff, which is invisible from the hall and leads to the then kitchen and the dining room. In the kitchen and the office, the original black and white floor tiles are still present. The drawing room and the dining room lay opposite and are accessible from the hall through a double corridor, in which closets have been installed. The finish of the parquet in the drawing room is even more lavish than the one of the hall. It is a geometric patterns with it its middle a circular motive of small palms and all around small blocks of light and dark wood. Along the frame is an in-bedded motive comparable with the typography of Wijdeveld in his publication “Wendingen” of which he was the publisher between 1918 and 1925. This parquet dates probably back to 1920 and should have been laid at the time when the chauffeur’s house was built. Highly modern are the bronze window casings, with fancy hang a masterwork. This use of various materials and decoration types allowed Wijdeveld to give a character of its own The shape given to the fire place structure, the parquet, the cassette ceilings and the wall fittings differs for each room, and apart from the hall and the drawing room, one will also note that the colour varies. On the ceiling of the hall, there is a Japanese blue tone, on that of the dining room; on the contrary, there is pale green. The housing itself is located on the 1st floor. The building is being presently restored and enlarged. It could suit various needs such as offering further family or even staff quarters.
