How to transform the Koopgoot retail shopping area in Rotterdam to reach new audiences? What’s the untapped experience potential of available retail and window space? How can we connect to local culture, makers and entrepreneurs?
Thanks to every maker we have collaborated with in de Goot:
CBRE IM and Cushman & Wakefield dared to take up on our challenge to transform the Koopgoot from within. Based on our network and research of Rotterdam makers we developed a branded space with curated programming, an open air photography gallery on available windows and public seating to cater for unexpected connections.
De Goot (Beurstraverse 154) is a temporary space for contemporary ideas – by makers and for makers. The year-round program of De Goot from a Jeans Repair Bar, to Makers Atelier, Afro Surinamese fashion heritage platform, Design and Art Rotterdam Gallery, Sex education festival and listening bar for Ukrainian Cabaret shows the Koopgoot’s potential many years ahead. Becoming a cultural venue and an experience rather than a shopping area.
