Hiking

The redevelopment of this site was intended to symbolically restore the social and physical ‘beacon function’ of the former mill by means of a new, visual accent. Erika Hock was invited to think about a landmark that could link history and future. To this end, the artist placed a colourful 9.5 m high tower, a monumental sculpture in the form of a pepper mill. In this way, Hock wanted to create a link between the history of the place and its new purpose as a residential area.

The 'Grain Mills' project in Oppuurs (Sint-Amands) is an old industrial site that has been transformed into a residential project with 30 apartments, 4 lofts, 2 commercial spaces and an out-of-school childcare facility. The site received a special work of art by the German artist Erika Hock of no less than 9.5 meters high.
