Netherlands - Rotterdam - Sonneveld House - Spiral 04_crop_DSC9078
The iconic Sonneveld House is located adjacent to the NIA and is included with its ticket. It's well worth finding time for as it's a perfectly preserved 1930's interior.
The stairs was particularly eyecatching as can be seen here from this view looking up.

From the Sonneveld House website : "Sonneveld House is one of the best-preserved houses in the Dutch Functionalist style. The villa was designed in 1933 by architecture firm Brinkman and Van der Vlugt for Albertus Sonneveld, a director of the Van Nelle Factory. The architects designed a total concept in which architecture, interior and furnishings are perfectly coordinated and reinforce one another. Light and spacious, the house features numerous balconies and large areas of fenestration that offer views of the surrounding garden. Almost all items of furniture and lamps in the house were made by the firm of Gispen, some of them specially for the Sonnevelds. This customization reveals the family’s appreciation of luxury and comfort. Sonneveld House is therefore not a dogmatic example of functionalism, but a personal environment."
