Dudok became City Architect for the town of Hilversum.
He's best known for the Hilversum City Hall (Raadhuis) [above] completed in 1930/31; remarkably and consistently modern for the time. The contrast of solid and void elements, horizontals and verticals recalls De Stijl, but Dudok's brick buildings kept a modern solidity.
