The Schröder house of the architect Gerrit Rietveld located in Utrecht (Netherlands), is a clear example, since it was designed in 1924, when the world was still immersed in neoclassical architecture.

This house is characterized by being structured from its facade to the interior, by a series of horizontal and vertical planes, which together with the color of some elements, manages to synthesize in the same building, the foundations of the De Stijl artistic movement, as if we could inhabit a Mondrian painting.
