OFFICE BUILDING HBU/ERASMUSHUIS
W.M. DUDOK, 1938-1939, Coolsingel 104, Rotterdam
ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Willem Marinus Dudok
EXTENSION:
Kraaijvanger Architecten
BUILDING TYPE:
Office buildings
Built before the war, this 12-storey office tower survived the bombardment of 1940 along with the exchange, the post office and the city hall. With its elevations rising out of a black granite plinth, it visually marks the end of Coolsingel. The low-rise portion is on columns to retain a view through of the historic Schielandshuis and its garden. This objective architecture is the result of functional requirements, yet displays Dudok's characteristic decorative touches.
