Han Schröder

The house with moving partitions was designed in 1924 by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld who became a friend of Schröder's and an important influence on her future works.

In a personal interview with the International Archive of Women in Architecture, Schröder described the moving partitions are meant to be "the medium for dynamic flexibility", as a house is not supposed to be "a series of cubicles.

Thereafter she joined Rietveld's architecture firm where she worked on housing projects, schools, exhibitions, and the Sonsbeek Sculpture Pavilion.
