Description

Introduction

The RESIDENTIAL HOUSE with STUDIO in half-timbered style dates from circa 1895-1900; the residential house has an older origin and dates from the middle of the nineteenth century. The studio is situated at the front on the upper storey; the residential house on the ground floor, which continues further to the rear.

The studio was used as a workshop of a House & Decorative Painter and as the first daylight studio for a photographer in the Netherlands. Notably on the ground floor, various wall and ceiling paintings by the decorative painter have been preserved in the building.

The studio was originally fitted with a glazed roof, which has since been replaced by a tiled roof.

Description

The front part of the residential house with the studio is constructed on a rectangular floor plan over two storeys, under a gabled roof with red Dutch tiles and wind tiles. The ridge direction runs parallel to the Oudshoornseweg. The roof slope on the Oudshoornseweg (northeast) is shorter than at the rear (southwest). The older building volume, consisting of one storey under a mansard roof, stands at right angles with the ridge direction to the studio. The facades of the low older section are plastered with false joints. The side facades and rear facade of the studio section are also rendered.

The front facade (northeast) is constructed above a plastered plinth with hard stone coping stones. The facade consists of a wooden half-timbered skeleton with knobs at the junctions, filled with decorative brickwork of red clay brick and yellow facing brick in a dark grey brick border. The half-timbering itself and the window frames are moulded; between the two storeys there is a wooden projecting cornice beneath which cassettes have been applied, originally the inscription 'house and decorative painter' stood here. The facade is finished with a projecting cornice. On the ground floor centrally the entrance arrangement on a hard stone step with bevelled stones, consisting of a single glass door provided with decorative ironwork (right) and a double glass door with rebate and fanlights (left).

On the upper storey five connected windows with narrow cross-shaped glazing bar tracery; beneath the windows wooden drip moulding.
