See: Jan Wils, Frank Lloyd Wright e De Stijl by Ezio Godoli. Calenzano : Modulo, 1980.
In 1916, Wils established his own architectural firm in The Hague.
The Papaverhof is a housing complex in The Hague that was designed by Jan Wils. Built between 1919 and 1921, the project was Wils' breakthrough as an architect. Today the Papaverhof is a Rijksmonument that is one of the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites. Frank Lloyd Wright's Lexington Terraces (1894) project in Chicago, Illinois was the inspiration for the Papaverhop design.
Wils was one of the founding members of the De Stijl movement, which also included artists as Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg and Gerrit Rietveld.
Among other works, Wils designed the Olympic Stadium for the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. His design was also entered in the Olympic art competition, and won the gold medal.
