Private house, model, seen from the west 1923

Theo van Doesburg's 1923 model "Private house, model, seen from the west" exemplifies De Stijl's geometric aesthetic. This minimalist model, composed of primary colors and simple geometric forms, envisions a dwelling stripped of ornamentation. The stark, rectilinear shapes and emphasis on horizontals and verticals reflect the movement's focus on abstract principles and functionality. Though the model is unfinished, it offers a glimpse into the architectural ideals of the era, suggesting a radical departure from traditional design.
