Villas on the dune edge and older homes around Duinrell
Rijksdorp is a villa district on the edge of the dunes, laid out from 1920 on the grounds of the seventeenth-century Rijksdorp estate. Architect Co Brandes designed the street plan around the old park layout. Before the war villas went up on generous plots; after it, smaller villas filled in the gaps. More than eight in ten homes in the Rijksdorp-De Pan neighbourhood are detached.
Around Duinrell and towards the Slag lies the Buitengebied Duinrell-Wassenaarse Slag neighbourhood, with about a hundred homes. Over forty percent date from before 1945, and a third from 1975 to 1985.
If your 1920s villa has narrow windows with fine divisions, the very slim Reynaers SlimLine 38 profiles suit it. On a post-war villa or a 1970s or 1980s house, the focus is more on larger glass areas and sun protection. And for a listed building, we first find out the rules for your address.
