The benchmark for the restoration was, therefore, the condition of the house when it was completed in 1933. Alterations made to the house while it was occupied by the Sonneveld family were also regarded as authentic. All alterations made after the family's departure have been reversed, shares the museum team.
A striking aspect of the house is the way Brinkman and Van der Vlugt designed not only the architecture but the complete interior too, rearranging iconic Le Corbusier pieces or using luxurious details like the handmade Moroccan carpet and the French palette. Almost all items of furniture and lamps in the house museum were made by the firm of Gispen, some of them specially for the Sonnevelds. This customization reveals the family's appreciation of luxury and comfort.
