A new addres for visual arts
In the village of Kortenhoef
You are welcome to visit
Madeleine Metsaars and Peter van den Akker
Two
visual artists, who found a new place to live and work in a
former super market. This elongated building enabled them to
realise their dream of combining living and working in one building
In Juli
1998 they set to work, with the help of a contractor, to
convert the huge store into a new living space and two studios,
and renovate the top floors into offices and sleeping
floors. To
get more
light into the building, doors and windows were put into the long
blind sidewall at three places; the steel shopfront was renovated,
and skylights were placed in the roof over the studios and
exhibition space.
