Bouwatelier 013

Construction consultant Willem Hoppenbrouwers started Bouwatelier 013 about seven years ago, where he rents out workplaces to freelancers. Great if you're looking for an inspiring place to work!

For some more context, we talked to Willem over a working lunch. Come on, Willem!

"We facilitate inspiring workspaces for independent entrepreneurs."

What do people come to your 'atelier' for?

"A selection of what people say about Bouwatelier 013: 'Good for a change from working from home', 'nice people as 'colleagues', and who are all in a different field of work, that's inspiring', 'I missed colleagues to have a laugh with, to spar with or just to be able to tell your story', 'the peace I create for my clients, I find at Bouwatelier 013'. I couldn't have said it better myself."

What is typically Tilburgish about Bouwatelier 013?

"That different people from different fields of work can still make a sense of collegiality together. It's not a 'standard' workplace. And it's in Oud-Noord in the old textile area of yesteryear."
