Industrial masonry - Liitle C (4)
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Cool, Coolhaven, Little C (uncut)
The ‘rustic’masonry of two of the 15 towers of ‘Little C’ are shown here. And, well, what can I say about the 'Little C Lofts & offices' complex in Rotterdam? For graphically inclined photographers like me it’s surely eye candy. But the architectural choices are debatable. Little C doesn’t aim to be original, it just tries to copy 'New York style' tenements (they do resemble 'The Projects'....) with their external fire staircases and the London Docklands with their sky bridges. While doing this, it follows the contemporary 'red industrial brick paradigm' closely. And it is only a partial solution for the big housing scarcity in Holland since it offers no affordable housing.
Little C consists of 15 towers, connected thru sky bridges. It offers 320 apartments and 10.000 square metres of office space and was designed by CULD and Inbo and is the winner of several architectural prizes, one of them praising the liveability and the social cohesion, so maybe I’m just being a little grumpy here ;-)
