Dymaxion House

Many if not most of Schroders

ideals come from past experiences.
She had vivid memories of walks as a
child with her father in all kinds
of weather, citing this as an
inspiration for a desire to be
distanced from the ground and be
closer to the sun, wind, rain and
light. She wanted to be able to
experience the changes of the nature
outside from the confines of her own
home. These formed the basis for the
windows on the second floor,
especially the window with the
disappearing corner, and her desire
for having absolutely no intention
of living on the ground floor.
Northwest Windows (disappearing corner)
Schroder also cited her aspiration
for a large open second floor to a
memory of taking care of a friends baby in a large spacious attic; the memory and
idea inspired and appealed immensely to her. When she approached Rietveld on this
topic, he responded enthusiastically and followed by designing the ingenious sliding
partition walls on the second floor.

The transformable space further appealed to Schroder because she did not want a
home that imposed a specific lifestyle on her. Instead, she wanted a space that could
change with her a space that could develop and satisfy her cravings for
independence.

For her ideas, Schroder was officially credited as co-designer of the house, a
fact that has become forgotten.
