Rotterdam: Sonneveld House, A Modernist Villa

Rotterdam: Sonneveld House

Sonneveld House, in Rotterdam, is one of the best-preserved Modernist houses in the Dutch Functionalist style. The villa was designed in 1933 by architecture firm Brinkman and Van der Vlugt, for Albertus Sonneveld, a director of the nearby Van Nelle Factory. The architects designed a total concept in which architecture, interior and furnishings are perfectly coordinated. Almost all items of furniture and lamps in the house were made by the firm of Gispen, some of them specially for the Sonnevelds. This level of customization reveals the family’s appreciation of luxury and comfort.

Provided visitors wear protective shoe covers and they can go anywhere – even opening cupboards and photographing anything we like.

I love the rich colours which may be inspired by the Dutch art movement De Stijl, founded in Leiden, 1917.

All of the shots here were taken hand-held using available light.

Colin at Walton Creative has been a huge support whilst updating our entire Company brand, website and graphics, as well as offering advice and solutions. An eye for detail and a good knowledge of effective marketing. Always communicates throughout the draft and final process and consistently delivers to our requested deadlines. We would not hesitate in recommending Colin, and look forward to working with him again on more projects in the future.

As an interior design company looking to raise our profile through advertising, web presence and fabulous photography, we needed somebody creative, highly sensitive to colour and sympathetic to our style. Colin Walton fulfills all those requirements beautifully. He always seems to instinctively know what we want to achieve and is brilliant at interpreting our sometimes vague objectives with originality and to striking effect. On the technical side Colin is extremely proficient, very quick to respond to requests and, without prompting, often comes back to us with ideas for improvements. We have worked with Colin for over 7 years and we continue to be absolutely delighted with his original and creative approach and his technical expertise.

We have worked with Colin from Walton Creative for the past 6 years for all our photographic and website needs. During that time we have found Colin to be professional, patient, quick and extremely helpful. He is always available to offer ideas, advice and IT support from the simplest to the most difficult tasks with alterations and updates being actioned immediately. Our products are beautifully photographed and uploaded to our website within hours. We are a small company with limited time and very limited IT knowledge, but we know we can rely on Colin to deliver exactly what we want, whenever we need it.Walton Creative offers an impeccable service that we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone
