Situated in what used to be a thriving harbour on the outskirts of the centre, Maakhaven is primarily intended as a creative breeding ground for creatives. It’s a building in a constant state of flux, where studios are built and torn down by the tenants, to accommodate their wishes.

Maakhaven, with its raw warehouse aesthetic, mainly attracts artists, makers and even a tattoo parlour. The main philosophy behind Maakhaven is one of a DIY approach. Roughly one third of the warehouse is dedicated to spaces that can be customised as the tenants see fit, in accordance with the owners’ restrictions. Quite a few fine artists have their studios in Maakhaven, as it appears a location that breeds creativity. Current tenants include a visual arts collective and a tattoo artist.

If you don’t mind putting some effort into making the space your own, Maakhaven offers plenty of customisable spaces for people in the creative industry.
