MEDINA NEAVE BROWN location function contributed by
Eindhoven (2003) commercial space, housing, office Robin ADDRESS
While Neave Brown is mostly known for his work in London, he also designed this structure in Eindhoven. The master plan for the Smalle Haven area designed by Jo Coenen, called for a high density low-rise residential structure at the foot of his Vesteda Tower. Neave Brown designed the Medina as an oasis of green and quiet in a hectic city; with two very distinct sides. There is the urban wall, which is 8 storeys high, faces the busy Vestdijk and is also home to commercial space at its base. The other side, on ‘t College is much lower, quiet and more like a residential street, although there is commercial space here, too. The terraces on this side form a transition from the busy city to the calm residential area. There is also a parking garage inside.
