Landgoed Zonnestraal, Loosdrechtse Bos 17 (Bus 104, Zonnestraal), ☎ +31 35 538 54 00 (info@zonnestraal.org), [20]. Located in a quiet forest between Hilversum and Loosdrecht, this big estate is one of Duiker's architectural marvels. It is one of the best examples of the New Objectivity style. Zonnestraal consists of one large main building, two smaller pavilions and some additional buildings that were added later, like the Koepel, which now functions as a visitors centre. The buildings are made of concrete and glass, in Duiker's typical colours of white, black and a specific kind of light-blue called 'Duiker blue'. The best way to explore this building is by taking the guided tour [21]. Every last Sunday of the month, at noon and 2PM, you can take a 90-minute tour around the estate, starting from the Brasserie nr 15). Cost is €7.50, bring it with you in cash and hand it over to the guide when the tour starts.
