Zuiderterras Antwerp

bOb Van Reeth about the Zuiderterras: 'During a period of forty years an empty socle stood on this beautiful spot. With my project I refer to what there was before: a classical building that served as a café just as the Zuiderterras now.' The Zuiderterras' name is derived from the promenade with the same name along the 'Schelde' river quays. Transparency of the building was the starting point from bOb Van Reeth. This expresses itself in the choice of the materials: metal combined with a lot of glass. The interior was further completed with warm wood and transparent linen curtains. The alternation of mirrors and large windows creates an atmosphere of infinite space and connection with the river. Along the waterside of the restaurant you can observe the passing vessels. Along the other side ogles the ancient city with its towers, but also here you can see the ships passing in the mirrors.
