Challenge
Redefining Periphery Real Estate Potential
The Deventer building was structurally sound but economically stranded. The challenge was to reinvent its purpose without inflating cost or losing integrity.
Approach
Local Roots, Scalable Model
Bakkers | Hommen approached the site with pragmatism — emphasizing regional impact, cost efficiency, and strong design. Its modular renovation framework is now used as a reference in similar Dutch municipalities.
