Description:
Emilie Knappert commissioned De Vonk Holiday Hostel as a home for working class girls – a project undertaken with the support of the charitable cooperation of the Vereeniging Buitenbedrijf foundation. Oud was recommended for the design by architect, H.P. Berlage, who was unable to undertake the commission. Oud worked with existing designs to systematize and streamline the existing plans and to create a highly symmetrical building. Contemporaries viewed the building as exemplifying the aesthetic of monumentality. The design was conceived of, collaboratively, with artists Van Doesburg and Harm Kamerlingh Onnes (Taverne et al. 2001, 139-143). The project series includes photographs of the window designed by Onnes and of the entrance with the tiled floor, designed by Van Doesburg.
