Dolf Broese van Groenou was the son of a Wolter Broese van Groenou, a wealthy sugar plantation owner in the Dutch East Indies. He graduated as a construction engineer from Delft University in 1904, after which he married and designed the villa in which he would live his entire life. He would continue to design mainly villas, including the ones for the family estate in Loenen and his father's in Den Haag. Dolf would occasionally also design regular housing and office buildings. Broese van Groenou frequently collaborated with Samuel de Clercq, with whom he also designed the Stadium for Scheveningen that was entered for the 1924 Olympics.
