Rotterdam - Former Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij
Stadsdriehoek | Blaak
A glass-roofed light court in the middle of the building for the Netherlands Trading Society is there to give its offices sufficient daylight. Walls and floors in the central public entrance area and the strongroom are clad in Calacatta marble. The facades are dominated by a grid of brick piers with an infill of decorative brickwork and steel frames. The asymmetrically placed main entrance on Blaak is clearly marked with an imposing gateway bearing a bronze emblem of the NTS and two groups of mermaids on the entrance canopy.
Arch. Kees Elffers and A.A. van Nieuwenhuyzen
1941-50.
