Microstad Eindhoven
Repurposing a former KPN building
2023/24
Eindhoven
The former KPN building in Eindhoven, 20,000 m2, is being repurposed with multiple new functions and given a new name: Microstad. Space will be provided for events, offices, workshops, a club, education, and more. Essentially everything you would find in a 'real' city. Microcity is a new concept where two existing companies, Microlab & De Stadstuin, collaborate.
​
The building is located in the heart of Eindhoven and is part of the new urban developments. It is a complex building originally designed for a single purpose, accommodating multiple functions proves to be a (financial) challenge. It is a wonderful example of looking at things from a new perspective.
