Take a free audio tour through the house and discover the surprisingly modern way of life of the Sonneveld family for their time.
The Healthy House
Sonneveld House is special not only because of its colourful, luxurious and comfortable interior. The 1933 villa was also designed to be a ‘healthy’ home, a hygienic living environment filled with natural daylight and fresh air. The Healthy House audio tour presents the innovative design by architects Brinkman and Van der Vlugt in a new light.
