Sociaal Cultureel Centrum De Mattelier

De Mattelier

In the spring of 2016, the municipality of Oost Gelre asked us to participate in a construction team, together with the architect, the installation consultant and the user, to further develop the new accommodation for Cultural Centre "De Bron". We subsequently expressed our views on the plans for the rebuilding of and extension to the former head office of De Hameland on the edge of the old town centre in Groenlo.

The new plan had to be special; well and sustainably justified, preserving the building's rich history while also focusing on its current and future use. Indeed, that was the reason for opting to collaborate with the best professionals from local businesses, to create a bond from the word go, which was further enhanced by the hugely proactive commitment of De Bron's many volunteers.

Once various choices had been incorporated into a well thought-out design, using a fast construction method and sustainable, low-maintenance materials, as well as the most advanced air conditioning and other systems, we were able to complete this building within the agreed turnaround time and the mandatory budget!

We began work on the cellar in late 2016 and completed the building in mid-2017, to the full satisfaction of both the commissioning party and the user, after which the volunteers added the finishing touches in terms of technical theatre facilities and charming interior design.

The construction team believes that with this characteristic venue, the beauty and importance of the townscape of Groenlo has been restored in all its former glory!
