Remember the Sudfass corner in Ostend?
The traditional whore house?
The Sauna Club?
2014 the houses had to go.
Total turn down.
And everybody started to wait for the new glamour in Ostend.
In November 2015 at least the red cranes arrived.
In April 2016 the red cranes were still there.
A year ago from today.
In November 2016 still one red crane standing.
The view a couple of days ago. No cranes.
Nobody's moved in, but they are getting there.
New neighbours.
Zusammen mit dem gegenüberliegenden, revitalisierten Gebäude
der ehemaligen Arbeitsagentur soll der entstehende rote Klinkerbau
als Tor zum Ostend fungieren. „DieArchitektursprache
des bewusst reduziert gehaltenen, klarartikulierten Baukörpers
erinnert an (Wohn-)Typologien der1920er-Jahre und nimmt Bezüge
auf die Industriegeschichte desOstends auf.“ Im Zuge des Neubaus
wird auch der öffentlicheRaum an der Flößerbrücke neu
gestaltet und der Zugang zumMainufer erleichtert.
Die Fertigstellung ist Ende März 2017 geplant. (Written in August 2016 !!!)
What I really do like in this plan are the trees,
especially the trees along the street.
Let's see if that ever happens.
Picture from:
In the neighborhood we are just waiting that the street
will be free again for pedestrians and bikers. Please.
But listen, isn't this a bit scary, they have a web cam
showing the building site but can they see me
going shopping to Aldi, or getting some burgers, too?
These guys on the other side of our street have started
their own little renovation.
Ostend!
You are getting prettier every year.
Or so.
