BUITENWERKPLAATS

We believe the space you are in has an impact on how you feel. We Maud Aarts and Dagobert Bergmans, are architects and our dream was to create an incubator for the open-minded. A place where people can get inspired. Space for people to work on their projects.

That's what Buitenwerkplaats has become. A gorgeous plot near Amsterdam with a farmhouse that has been rebuilt by us to host several people working at different projects. For half a day or for some months. In the overwhelming study or in a workshop. Alone or with a team. Separated or in company. Apart or together.

We have created space to think. We have created space to make very big artwotks. We have created space to meet eachother. We also created a square to park your car - although at the moment all cars have to get out of the way to host an artwork - it's clear what gets priority here. Read more...
