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.

This nostalgic revelation turns Santos into the new heart of Jazz in Katendrecht and revives a piece of history that is currently not commemorated. It poses a great opportunity to bring back something to the community that was taken away from it - a place of togetherness and collective culture as the Belvedere Verhalenhuis embodied exactly that during WWII. ...
