Adding to the list of recommended UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Netherlands, today it's a very special house.

The Rietveld-Schröder House in Utrecht is built in a very unique style known as "De Stijl". Looking at it for the first time it is clear that it has very little to do with the other houses on the block, with its light colors and sharper angles. All told, Rietveld build over 900 homes in Utrecht... not bad for one guy. And this house in particular is all about the "conscious act" of living in your home.

The house has been open to the public since the late 80's and is obviously a big attraction for architecture buffs from around the world. It was placed on the World Heritage Site list in 2000.

Being the unique house that it is, it has a unique visitation schedule: thursday through sunday, and reservations are a good idea.
