The Hague architect Louis de Wolf (1871-1923) is considered the most important exponent of the (Wiener) Sezessionstil in our country. Among the best-known examples of De Wolf's work is the Salon de Rafraichissements, commissioned by J.A. Krul and built in 1903 at Noordeinde 42-44. De Wolf's unique design talent is further reflected in several beautifully shaped storefronts built for clients such as Schröder & Co, Lijnkamp and Peek & Cloppenburg. Architect Louis De Wolf was a talented architect who enriched the cityscape of The Hague with a number of striking buildings, including residential houses and schools. With his original interpretation of the (Wiener) Sezessionstil and his unusual use of materials, we can rightly speak of a Hague master builder.
