Between the Eusebius Church and the Focus Film Theatre, De Zwarte Hond realised De Martinus, a distinguished building with 13 unique homes and two commercial spaces. It is not possible to see from the outside where the various houses begin and where they end; the building consciously radiates a sense of unity, meaning that in scale it fits in beautifully with the public buildings in the vicinity. De Martinus really completes the renovated Kerkplein, giving the entire centre of Arnhem a boost in quality.

The volume consists of two hook-shaped building elements, which interlock in a subtle way. The 13 houses are divided into three basic types, all of which have a roof terrace. The residents could choose from many options to customise their space. Living and working spaces and two shops add small-scale business space to the functional mix of the city centre on the extra-high ground floor. The choice of the (locally produced) stone was crucial to the end result, which had to match both the church and the rest of the environment.
