This former shipyard has been transformed into a vibrant hub for creativity and innovation. The arch stands as a symbol of this transformation, bridging the past and the present.

It serves as a functional gateway to the NDSM Wharf, welcoming visitors to this unique space. The arch also houses studios and workshops for artists and designers. This fosters a dynamic creative community within its structure. It’s a testament to the power of repurposing and the potential for beauty in unexpected places. De Containerboog Installation is a vibrant reminder of Amsterdam’s industrial past and its creative future.
