It will be several years before the transformation of the Pieter Baan Centre in Utrecht’s Gansstraat into housing and workspaces is fully completed. In the meantime, KondorWessels Vastgoed has therefore opted for a creative approach to using this former psychiatric clinic and remand centre. The former women\u2019s prison, director\u2019s residence and concrete observation clinic are gradually being opened up for small companies, artists and creative entrepreneurs. KondorWessels Vastgoed is even on the lookout for more temporary tenants.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”extra-color-2″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”5\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”40px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text el_class=”justified-text”]\n

Opening up the area<\/h3>\n

Since there still needs to be an amended zoning plan and a definitive plan for the renovation, it will be some time before work starts. Until then, this place will remain a creative incubator. Recent years have already seen the emergence of several spontaneous initiatives. They include the video art by Light-up and the Uncloud festival. Under the direction of KondorWessels Vastgoed, the area is now increasingly opening up.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”40px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_video_player_self_hosted video_mp4=”https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kijkje-in-PBC-2.mp4″ player_functionality=”default” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ advanced_gradient_display_type=”linear”][vc_column_text el_class=”justified-text”]Video by RTV Utrecht<\/a><\/p>\n

In search of more creative tenants<\/h3>\n

Thomas Piekhaar from KondorWessels Vastgoed: \u201cOur development plans for this area will provide a new future for the building. That future will be all about openness, connection and growth. This is why we\u2019re already prioritising \u2018placemaking\u2019. It\u2019s enabling us to improve the quality of this area at an early stage; people are already eager to come here. Via our management organisation \u2018Het Wakkere End\u2019, we\u2019re still looking for more creative tenants. We\u2019re even tentatively considering providing emergency refuge for vulnerable young people. We just need to explore the feasibility of it a little further.\u201d<\/p>\n

History lives on<\/h3>\n

Pieter Baan had progressive ideas about preventing criminal behaviour that were ahead of his time. For years, the centre was used as a prison. People suspected of serious crimes were examined by behavioural experts here. In World War II, resistance heroes were held prisoner in the barracks on the site. The former women\u2019s prison, the director\u2019s residence and the concrete observation clinic remain largely intact. Even the cells have been preserved.<\/p>\n

Telling the tale<\/h3>\n

Thanks to KondorWessels Vastgoed, part of that history will also be preserved in the new complex, explains Piekhaar. “We aim to continue to tell the tale of history. We plan to do that using QR codes that allow you to see the history for yourself. There are also imminent plans for an ‘Experience’. This will enable visitors to experience what it was like to be imprisoned at Pieter Baan.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NieuwsCreative placemaking in the former Pieter Baan Centre (Utrecht) NieuwsCreative placemaking in the former Pieter Baan Centre (Utrecht) It will be several years before the transformation of the Pieter Baan...","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":9007,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[154,160],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9006"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9006"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9011,"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9006\/revisions\/9011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kondorwessels.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
