CONSTRUCTION
• Initially, Rietveld wanted to construct the house out
of concrete. It turned out that it would be too
expensive to do that on such a small building.
• The foundations and the balconies were the only
parts of the building that were made out of
concrete.
• The walls were made of brick and plaster. The
window frames and doors were made from wood
as well as the floors, which were supported by
wooden beams. To support the building, steel
girders with wire mesh were used
