The building at Oranje Nassaulaan 56, built in 1910, is part of a complex consisting of three buildings: numbers 52, 54, and 56. These three double city villas were designed in the characteristic Rationalism style, a common style in the neighborhood. An important feature of this style is the almost total absence of ornamentation; only decorations that emphasize the function of a building component are permitted. The architect of this complex is the well-known Jan Frederik Staal Jr. (1879-1940). After a trip to America in 1901, he joined his father's construction company, Staal & Haalmeijer, in 1902. Here he worked with Co Kropholler and, from 1908, also with Kropholler's sister Margaret, with whom he began a relationship and married in 1936. The collaboration with Kropholler ended in 1910 due to a conflict, after which Staal started his own practice. Initially, Staal applied an Art Deco-like style (e.g., De Utrecht on Damrak, 1902), but he made the transition to Berlage's rationalism (Villa Emmaplein 2, 1911), then to the Amsterdam School (Coenen-/Ruloffs-/Bronckhorststraat, 1922), and finally to the modernism of the Nieuwe Bouwen (Apollolaan/Beethovenstraat, 1938).
His best-known building is probably the Wolkenkrabber (Skyscraper) on Victorieplein (1930). Staal was also involved in the design of the monumental villa district Park Meerwijk in Bergen (North Holland), his first works in the Amsterdam School style.
