Collection bio

Introducing our collection of photographic and mixed-media prints featuring the Port House in Antwerp, designed by the legendary architect Zaha Hadid. If you're looking for inspiration and a sense of wonder, our prints can help fulfil that need.

The Port House is a prime example of contemporary architecture, boasting a bold and striking design that seamlessly blends the old and new. Its undulating facades, cutting angles, and use of modern materials such as glass, concrete, and steel make it a true masterpiece of neo-futurism. With our prints, you can bring this stunning architectural gem into your own space and experience the beauty and magic of the Port House every day.

Each print in our collection tells a story and allows you to explore the history and inspiration behind this iconic building. From the diamond-shaped glass extension to the striking visual contrast between the old and new elements, each print captures the unique character and design of the Port House.

Our prints can help fulfil a need for inspiration and a sense of wonder in your life. Whether you're a fan of contemporary architecture or simply appreciate stunning art, our collection of photographic and mixed-media prints can help transport you to a world of beauty and creativity.

These prints come from our Photo Essay: The Port House, a carefully crafted work that explores the history and inspiration behind this architectural masterpiece. We believe that every print you display on your wall should be a window into a world of wonder and creativity — every image should possess a story and a contextual narrative, and that's why we invest a great deal of time in creating essays that allow you to connect with our prints visually, emotionally and contextually.
