Augustine Schreuder-Gratama (1897-1978) was one of a handful of female architecture students at Delft University of Technology in her day.

Sonneveld House Museum is one of the best-preserved homes built in the Dutch Functionalist style. It was designed in the 1930s by architecture office Brinkman and Van der Vlugt, renowned for the Van Nelle Factory and Feyenoord Stadium.
