Open House

this creation by Kimberley-born artist Jacques Coetzer was the winning design in a World Design Capital competition for a piece of public art. Rising up three stories to 10.5m, the bright-red house facade with stairs and balconies is envisioned as a place where people can go to speak, sing, cry or simply wave to passersby. Coetzer drew inspiration from corrugated metal structures, RDP homes and Long Street itself.
