Walter Maas Huis, Amsterdam School villa in De Bilt, Netherlands
Built in 1925, the villa features a high-pitched thatched roof, a semicircular wooden music hall, and architectural elements inspired by Norwegian design traditions.
Julius Röntgen, a composer, lived in the villa from 1925 to 1932, after which Walter Maas turned it into a refuge during World War II.
The villa serves as a music center where composers, including Karlheinz Stockhausen and Olivier Messiaen, shared their compositions during annual music gatherings.
The Walter Maas Huis hosts monthly coffee concerts, lectures, and cultural events supported by a foundation dedicated to preserving its musical heritage.
The building includes a garden house that replicates a composer's studio from Norway, connecting Dutch architecture with Scandinavian influences.
