Located in Langweer, NL
Architectural Elevations and Floor Plans – Bâtiment de 36 Toises & Bâtiment de 30 Toises by Neufforge, c.1756 This finely engraved architectural plate by Jean-François de Neufforge (1714–1791) presents two detailed building designs from his monumental work Recueil élémentaire d’architecture, published in Paris around 1756. The upper plate is titled Bâtiment de 36 Toises, showing an elegant façade with a richly ornamented frieze above a series of evenly spaced windows and doors, and beneath it, a precisely laid-out floor plan including vestibules, galleries, antechambers, and cabinets. The lower plate, Bâtiment de 30 Toises, continues the theme, depicting a harmonious façade with strong classical symmetry and a pedimented central section, supported by rusticated lower levels. The floor plan mirrors the refined proportions of the elevation, with spacious central halls and symmetrical arrangements of rooms around a portico. Neufforge’s engravings were created to serve as models for architects, builders, and patrons of the mid-18th century, blending French classical design with practical layouts. Each design is meticulously drawn, with architectural elements clearly labeled, providing insight into the period’s emphasis on symmetry, balance, and proportion.
