The Portal
As a studio we were responsible for making the physical 'Portal'. The starting point for the appearance of the gate are the old canals that surrounded the medieval city of Eindhoven. These canal names can still be found as streets around the current city center such as Vestdijk, Nieuwe Emmasingel, and Keizersgracht.
