SANTOS House of Jazz: A proposal to re-design the abandoned Santos warehouse in Rotterdam and turn it into a House of Jazz

The historical warehouse SANTOS in Rotterdam's district of Katendrecht is transformed into a House of Jazz. During WWII, Jazz was banned in the entire city after the bombing of Dolle Dinsdag. Only the Belvedere Verhalenhuis in Katendrecht survived and remained as a symbol of hope that Jazz would not die, and that people could go there and play...

Popstage Santos

Located on Katendrecht is a warehouse Santos built in 1903. The purpose was to store the coffee which came from Santos (a place close to Sao Paulo, Brazil). This coffee warehouse is empty nowadays and transformed into a pop stage.
