Villa Jongerius en Jongeriuskantoor, 1930s Art Deco residence in Utrecht, Netherlands
Villa Jongerius is a 1930s residence in Utrecht designed with modern architectural principles and reinforced concrete construction in a balanced, symmetrical style. Generous balconies surround the central staircase, creating an open flow through the interior.
Entrepreneur Jan Jongerius commissioned this villa in 1938 as part of his business complex located along the Merwedekanaal canal. It reflects the industrial-era architecture that emerged in Utrecht during the pre-war period.
The central staircase displays stained glass windows by a local Utrecht artist, showing the artistic taste of that era. Visitors can see how craftsmanship was woven into everyday living spaces.
The residence now serves as an event venue with capacity for up to 150 guests distributed across several meeting spaces. Electric vehicle charging stations are available on the property for convenient arrival by car.
The building nearly faced demolition but was occupied in 1999 and saved from destruction. This occupation ultimately led to its recognition as a national monument and complete restoration.
