Huis Visser, Bergeijk

Huis Visser is a residential villa in Bergeijk that embodies reconstruction-period architecture in the Netherlands. The building features geometric forms, expansive windows, and functionally designed spaces typical of its era.

Architect Gerrit Rietveld designed the house in 1956 as a residential project. Aldo van Eyck later carried out substantial renovations between 1968 and 1974 that transformed the structure.

The residence represents Dutch architectural experimentation in the postwar period, showing how builders tested new ideas about living spaces. Visitors can see how clean lines and large windows shape daily life within the house.

The building is protected as a national monument and remains private, so it cannot be visited inside. Visitors can observe its architectural features from the street and admire the exterior design.

Notable contemporary artists contributed to the design: Sol LeWitt created the garden staircase while Carl Andre designed the flooring. These artistic elements are directly woven into the house's structure.
