Historia

Ahazuërus Hendrikus 'Henk' Wegerif (1888 - 1963), also known as A.H. Wegerif, was a Dutch architect and set designer. As an architect, Wegerif is best known for the many villas he designed, which arose all over the Netherlands, but especially in Apeldoorn and Wassenaar. In 1908 he made a study trip to the United States, other than that he mainly learned in practice. He also designed sets for both film and theatre; he made cameo appearances in Willem van Oranje (1934) and Boefje (Wilton's Zoo; 1939). In 1931, together with Jan Wils and H.A.J. Baanders, Wegerif founded the 'Vereeniging Tempelbouw', a union of masonic architects. From December 14, 1938 to May 8, 1942 he was chairman of the 'Haagse Kunstkring', an association for artists and art lovers in The Hague.
