Making places matter
Concrete Culture transforms historic spaces into thriving hubs for immersive culture and technology.
Concrete Culture works with art, culture, and technology to give new life to historic buildings and neighbourhoods.
By transforming these spaces, we aim to make a positive social impact, boost local economies, strengthen communities, and help prevent displacement through gentrification.
Our main projects include KATOENHUIS I Imagining New Realities (a 5,500 m² former cotton warehouse in the heart of Rotterdam's Maker District, M4H) and KOELHUIS Eindhoven (a former Campina cold storage facility). Both locations have been repurposed to focus on Immersive Experiences (IX) and offer shared workspaces, studios, and presentation venues that support creative and technical talent.
By bringing together a diverse mix of artists, technologists, and makers under one roof, our initiatives create spaces for research, experimentation, and public presentations. In doing so, we help grow the immersive technology sector in the Netherlands and strengthen its connection to local communities.
