History
Villa constructed from 1929 to 1931 by Théo van Doesburg, Dutch painter, theorist of modern art and one of the founders of the "De Stijl" movement. The villa, in a very austere style, features aluminium joinery, one of the first examples of such use of this metal. It was intended for the architect and his wife, who would continue to occupy it after Théo van Doesburg's death in 1931.
