Quickfire & Eibink

Eibink and Snellebrand wanted to create a building as a living organism, using a decorative form language. This is particularly evident in their designs from the 1920s. Eibink and Snellebrand's work is considered part of the "Amsterdam School. Eibink and Snellebrand's furniture and interior designs show that they worked as 'total designers' ('gesamtkunstwerk'). A fine example of this is the Summer House 'the Haystack' (Bergen, 1923). The application of modern construction techniques can already be seen in the design for the church at Elshout (1916). Eibink and Snellebrand applied modern construction methods within their expressive designs. Eibink, in particular, explored the application of reinforced concrete.
