Description

Introduction

Around 1881 a DWELLING HOUSE, villa type, was built to the order of P.G. Copijn to the design of P. Copijn, which in 1896 was extended with an office on the west side. In 1910 the building was remodelled to the design of builder C. Stoffels. This involved a reorganization of the building and the addition of a mangle-room and porch to the west facade. In 1928 a bay window was added as well as a balcony on the 1896 office extension. To the east facade a wooden conservatory was added. The interior of this conservatory is executed in cement rustic style.

Description

The villa is built on a mainly rectangular ground plan and comprises two storeys under a composite roof, covered with raked roof tiles. The facades above a rendered plinth are executed in brickwork with a cordonnet at storey height and rendered pilaster strips at the corners. The front facade or north facade contains on the left a projecting section with spout gable in which a decorative spandrel with fretwork fillings. In the first storey a two-light window is placed with above it a shallow balcony on corbels. The second storey contains a segmental arch window with applied surround. Above this a small round window is placed in the gable. The central section of the facade a door in a porch, which is coupled on the right to a conservatory with four window axes with glazing bars and 3x1-pane fanlights. In the right facade section is a window. The second storey has two Flemish gables with doors. Entirely on the right a rendered blind window is applied.

The right side facade has on the left a projection with a four-sided bay window, with above it a balcony. The second storey contains a window with fanlight. The gable top is executed identically to that found in the front facade and described there. In the right side facade of the projection there is a window in each storey. The right facade section contains a kitchen door and a number of windows, including small coupled segmental arch windows.

Against the left side facade a conservatory is placed with sash doors with glazing bars where the two centre mullions of each window above curve like a segmental arch. The facade also contains a number of windows. On the upper floor four coupled sash windows are placed under a rising roof light.

The rear facade under mansard roof is in the centre partly rendered and executed with a number of windows, including leaded light windows in the stairwell. The conservatory on the right side is of secondary importance. The interior layout is partly original and contains a number of valuable interior elements, including a floor tile with repeating geometric pattern in the front conservatory, a stucco ceiling, fireplaces and the stairwell. In the front room on the first floor is a white marble fireplace.
