Coolse Poort: New Perspectives

“An Aubergine Giant at the Head of the Coolsingel,” read the newspaper headline in 1979. With its striking reddish-purple facade, the building received both praise and criticism at the time, and today, there is a renewed appreciation for its type. GROOSMAN architects, who also designed the original, have now completely renovated the building. Architects from the practice, Gert de Graaf and Eric Rijper, will take you to the most beautiful spots of this icon – with incredible views of the city centre – while guiding you through its transformation.
