An all-seeing eye under sterile chrome — surveillance camouflaged in elegance. At BMW Welt, function and design merge in silent observation
Precision and repetition — the lens never blinks. A calm, clinical landscape where lines dominate and surveillance becomes part of the aesthetic language.
Geometry watches you. Angles converge with precision while the chrome sentinel blends into the modernist canvas — quiet but vigilant.
Deze woning uit 1933 is ontworpen door de architecten Meerman en Van der Pijl en gebouwd in de geest van de Nieuwe Zakelijkheid. Het pand vormt een geheel met het naastgelegen gebouw van de Nijmeegse Radio Centrale. De strakke lijnen, functionele vormgeving en helder kleurgebruik zijn kenmerkend voor deze stroming binnen het modernisme.

🇬🇧 Modernist House in the Style of Nieuwe Zakelijkheid – Meerman & Van der Pijl (1933)
This 1933 house was designed by Dutch architects Meerman and Van der Pijl, following the principles of Nieuwe Zakelijkheid (New Objectivity). It was built together with the adjacent building of the Nijmegen Radio Centrale. The design reflects the movement’s focus on clean lines, functional form, and restrained color — all hallmarks of early modernist architecture.
A stunning black and white capture of a striking architectural facade, where repeating patterns of windows and geometric brickwork create a mesmerizing visual rhythm. This interplay of symmetry and contrast highlights the elegance of urban design.
As someone has tagged it, this was in an early kibbutz about two thirds the way from Tel Aviv to Galilee which according to webpage info split ideologically into two parts but have now apparently made their peace to an extent
This is perhaps unusual ....apparently being made from the local stone rather than poured concrete or concrete blocks....gives it an air of quality. Worth noting that it uses bevelled stone arch technology above the doors and windows making steel lintels unnecessary(view large size).
I think Haile Selassie Emperor of Ethiopia was in exile here around 1936...in the photo of him on flickr the door and shutter look like the one in this photo
