“How do I see MAKERSTOREN? A cluster of creatives in a place where you meet each other. Photographers, graphic designers, engineers: the more diverse, the better.

As a pioneer I take my place here and as a like-minded person I look forward to meeting you. I look for the experimental, the unpolished. Culture-driven workplaces are often for beginners, but makers need that one right place throughout their career. The MAKERSTOREN offers that possibility. Creative makers who leave the city center look for a place to stay on the outskirts of the city, but still want to keep the ‘Amsterdam feeling’. The idea of only dense high-rise buildings is not appealing; you can no longer see what is happening.

That is what makes the MAKERSTOREN so beautiful: the transparency. With my studio we work internationally and regularly receive visitors from abroad, so the location near Schiphol and Sloterdijk station is perfect.

We specialize in exhibition design, landscaping and sculptural canvases. These are large canvases that we create with materials, colors and structures. We specialize in exhibition design, landscape architecture and curtains. So we need space, height and daylight. Outside is also becoming increasingly important. The MAKERSTOREN offers the space to work outside. A nice side effect is that we have provided the green advice for the MAKERSTOREN. The MAKERSTOREN is ideal for us.”
