An exploration through an iconic house of light and air hidden behind the Pieterskerk in Utrecht

An exploration through an iconic house of light and air

Hidden behind a striped facade at the Pieterskerkhof in Utrecht is the Van Schijndelhuis. It was the dream of architect Mart van Schijndel (1943-1999): a house for himself in which all his ideas about architecture and design would come together, with the most modern technical innovations. His wife Natascha Drabbe still lives there and ensures that the iconic house remains as he once conceived it, largely with furniture that Mart designed himself. Every month Natascha shows during a tour what makes the house so special.
