Exactly two years ago, construction company Staton Bouw drove the very first pile into the ground - the beginning of what would become the Makerstoren .

Now, two years later, the building is no longer just concrete and steel. It is alive. The first creators
have moved into their studios and are filling the spaces with ideas, craftsmanship and
energy. From artists and designers to makers and storytellers - this is where creativity takes shape.

And to make the entrance extra eye-catching, we placed our logo prominently.

From small studios of 21 m² to large open-plan workspaces of 382 m² - there is a perfect place for every creative maker. Here's an overview of our community so far.

And it doesn't stop there. Our restaurant Smoke 'n Melt has opened its doors and is already a favourite spot in the building. Think unique, charcoal-grilled sandwiches and sandwiches - really, incredibly delicious.
