Proost is an umbrella organization that creatively addresses vacant properties in Amsterdam-Noord. We collaborate with the city and area developers to create thriving places that people enjoy visiting and local business flourishes. We have revitalized approximately 5000 square meters of real estate — both indoors and outdoors – resulting in successful projects like Klaproos, Bar Boeket, Taverno (home to one of Amsterdam's largest terraces) and numerous creative studios and workspaces.
Within Proost, Space & Mertens is co-responsible for the concept development, permit applications, liaising with government bodies, and creative placemaking.
