The Havenkwartier in Deventer is a distinctive area where industrial heritage, creative entrepreneurs, art, culture, and hospitality come together with an active inner harbor. At the heart of this area stands the former Suitcase Factory. Studio Groen+Schild designed a clear and bright studio for Bureau Beeldtaal. The steel trusses from 1947 have been preserved and are clearly visible from the new mezzanine. Using pure materials such as steel, concrete, and wood, a robust workspace has been created. In the future, this office can easily be transformed into a residence, as this possibility was taken into account in the design.
