Koelhuis District at SXSW
SXSW is the world’s largest event in the field of immersive experiences, creative tech & more, taking place in Texas, US. This edition's focus on immersive technologies resonated deeply with our concept, especially as Koelhuis emerges as an IX Hub in Eindhoven.
Dutch Design Week at Koelhuis Eindhoven
Koelhuis opened its doors with three unique exhibitions.
On the ground floor, we presented a group exhibition “Bubble Trouble”, with the works of Elsemarijn Bruys, Sjoerd Geerts, Pepelsenkrepels (Myrthe Krepel and Nadia Pepels), and Taco Tarn Joosting Bunk, reflecting on the role and impact of bubbles in society.
Lichtspiel – Experiment Nr 2. – Underworld by Zalán Szakács engaged with the water-flooded basement of Koelhuis through light, haze, and sound, creating a truly immersive experience.
To make visitors aware of the past and future of Koelhuis District, we presented an exhibition Koelhuis Under Construction, telling a story of the building and the plans for the development of the Koelhuis District Eindhoven.

Opening of the container pavilion
New office in the Creativity Garden
The Koelhuis Eindhoven team moved to a new office in the Container Pavilion in early October 2023. The team behind Koelhuis, Concrete Ventures – the joint venture between property developer Bakkers | Hommen and creative agency, Factorr.nl, have been busy designing and developing this new space. The Container Pavilion is not your typical office, it is a brilliant example of how shipping containers – once used for transporting cargo around the world – have now turned into dynamic spaces for working and collaborating. The Container Pavilion lives within the Koelhuis District’s Creativity Garden - a hybrid, temporary outdoor space of over 3,000 sqm combining a mix of flexible facilities and allowing for placemaking activities.
