Description:
When the Rotterdam Building Inspectorate, the Buowpolitie, merged with the municipal housing authority, the Rotterdam Woningdienst, M.J.I. de Jonge van Ellemeet was appointed as head in 1923. Van Ellemeet commissioned Oud to decorate his study in the Rotterdam town hall. The study was part of the director's suite, which consisted of one large room, divided into separate parts. Oud contributed designs for a desk, an office chair, a conference table and six chairs, although the conference chairs were presumably never built. The desk includes a heavy wooden top and metal frame; the office chair has a rounded back and armrests of red leather and a seat of rounded back and straight front. Researchers have noted the similarities between Oud's chair and an earlier design of Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand in 1929. The chair is covered in leather, has chromium legs and a rounded back (Taverne et al. 2001, 380). Project series includes drawings of designs for plans and one photograph of office furniture for M.J.I de Jonge van Ellemeet.

Description:
Oud's international reputation was cemented due in part to his work on the Weissenhofsiedlung, in Stuttgart, as well as to the praise of contemporary American art historian, Henry-Russell Hitchcock. Oud was commissioned in 1931 to design a private home for the mother of Oud's American friend, Philip Johnson, although the project was never realized due to the client's financial struggles in the economic Depression. Oud submitted drawings and a model of the design for Mrs H.H. Johnson's home to the Museum of Modern Art's 1932 "Modern Architecture – International Exhibition." Although Oud was generally praised for his exhibition entries, especially photographs of Hoek van Holland, he received little positive attention with his model submission of the House of Mrs H.H. Johnson. Oud began design for the house late in 1931 and designed a large villa with an open, spacious living room and dining room, strategic garden views, and a detached sunroom with a retractable roof (Taverne et al. 2001, 320). Project series includes photographs of the model of House for Mrs H.H. Johnson, as well as drawings of plans for the house.

Description:
In 1929, the north Rotterdam neighbourhood of Blijodorp became the site of a municipal housing plan. Previous plans had been formulated in the early 1920s by architects Kromhout and Heijkoop but foundered due to lack of funding. Oud was brought into the project in the early 1930s and combined a perimeter block with row housing in his design of 306 dwellings for workers and eighteen buildings for seniors. The nine housing blocks faced the gardens and feature a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms with storage space situated below the elevated living level. His plans were not realized because the national government withdrew its investment in the housing market (Taverne et al. 2001, 304-310). Project series includes drawings of plans for Blijdorp Municipal Housing and a photograph of a perspective drawing.

The director of the Metz & Co interior design firm, Joseph de Leeuw, commissioned furniture designs from several prominent Dutch artists and architects, including Oud, Van der Leck and Rietveld. Oud's four chair designs were featured in the company's exhibition, "Steel Furniture in 1934." The chairs were made of steel frames; the third chair featured angular rear supports with sharp front angles adjoining the front, while in the fourth, the chair front and rear leg supports were crossed. Oud also designed four more chair types in 1934, including the 07 series, which received critical acclaim (Taverne et al. 2001, 375-377). Project series includes drawings of sketch perspectives of chairs, a sketch plan for a house and unidentified details, possibly for Metz & Co, as well as photographs of the chairs.

In the front room Oud designed wooden bookcases and a living space that featured two armchairs and a coffee table (Taverne et al. 2001, 387-388). Project series includes photographs of the interior view of Hannema's first and second homes.

Pfeffer de Leeuw commissioned Oud to design a private family residence within Blaricum in 1935. Oud's first design for the house, featuring a flat roof, was rejected by the city council since it did not conform to the surrounding neighbourhood architecture. Oud attempted to amend his original design but ultimately chose one of his earlier designs for a house with a monopitch roof that received council approval. Ultimately, Oud's designs were never realized (Taverne et al. 2001, 402). Project series includes drawings of site and floor plans.
