Sonneveld House is not only remarkable in terms of its modern design and luxurious and comfortable interior. It was also designed as a “healthy home” for mind and body. Above all else, Sonneveld House had to be a hygienic living environment, with as much light and clean air and as little dust and bacteria as possible. Read more about this tour.

In the Lodging with Leonard audio tour, children can discover Sonneveld Museum House in a playful manner. Leonard, the grandchild of Mr and Mrs Sonneveld, takes children on a voyage of discovery as he shares with them all the secrets of the house. Children also receive a small suitcase containing items that illustrate Leonard’s story.

The bathroom that smells of soap, art that you can touch and music from the 1930s that fills the rooms: a visit to the Sonneveld House Museum is now an even richer experience, thanks to new and exciting sensory elements that you can smell, touch and hear. Through a series of interventions, designers Simon Dogger and Hedwich Hooghiemstra have brought the house to life and made it accessible to people who are blind or partially sighted.

The greater part of the museum house, a national monument from the 1930s, is not accessible by wheelchair because of its staircases, narrow corridors and steps. People who use a wheelchair or who would rather not climb the stairs can enjoy a virtual tour of the house from the studio instead.

In the documentation centre, set up in the former garage of the Sonneveld House, you can watch the documentary made during and about the restoration of the house in 2001. There are also screens showing photographs and drawings from the Sonneveld family archives and from the architects Brinkman and Van der Vlugt.
