Le Medi
ERA Bouw is building new houses in the borough of Delfshaven (Rotterdam West) in a Mediterranean atmosphere.
Two large entry gates give access to the houses. Arno Coenen designed two beautiful mosaics which have been installed on the ceiling of the gates. The designs were inspired by famous Dutch painters mixed with Moroccan motifs.
Staff of ERA Bouw, inhabitants, police officers and passers-by each contributed their bit, just like minister Vogelaar (Housing, neighbourhoods and Integration) and city councillor Karakus (Housing). Each mosaic measures about 6,4 by 4,4 meters.
