The homes in Woonpark Mortiere have a classic architecture reminiscent of the 1930s. The district is surrounded by greenery and also has a green heart.

The street names refer to big names in Blues and Jazz music. That music is the starting point for a work of art in the centrally located park. It is an ode to the music and architecture of the 1930s.

Five microphones stand stately with their noses in the air. The Shure55 is the thirties microphone and an icon in the music industry. The microphone is also reminiscent of the cars of the 1930s, with their distinctive whim at the front.

In your mind you can hear Louis Armstrong's trumpet, Duke Ellington's piano, Robert Johnson's guitar, Howlin 'Wolf's harmonica and Muddy Waters' mesmerising voice.
