Peer Bedaux, Architect

Hans Ibelings, Marc Mulders

This book focuses on Dutch architect Peer Bedaux’s distinctive, individual designs and production. The individuality of Bedaux’s work lies in the balance, precision, soundness and distinguished subtlety of this architecture and in his respect for traditional construction methods, which are often regional in character. In spatial terms, the work has a certain sense of privacy, as shown by its closed-off facades and patios. Genuine, traditional materials such as brick and natural stone are also frequently used. The catchwords are: traditional construction methods with a dash of modernism, comfort and practicality. His oeuvre consists mainly of houses and villas, small office buildings, a cultural centre, schools and small public buildings, e.g. a town hall.
