Klaproos
Klaproos is a temporary restaurant housed in a former industrial warehouse in Amsterdam Noord. The elongated warehouse structure at Papaverhoek forms the basis for this conversion. New openings in the existing facade allow natural light to enter the interior. The linear space is organized as a sequence of dining areas at different levels, creating spatial hierarchy within the open plan. Original structural elements remain exposed and are complemented by new interventions. The interior maintains a dialogue between the building's industrial past and its new function, with material transitions defining the various zones.

Oscar Sanders’ architectural practice has its foundation in social- and urban entrepreneurship. His graduation project serving as the poster child – ‘Het Zilveren Kind’ was a study designed to create stimulating collective housing for people with multiple disabilities in an urban context.

Designing space knows multiple forms within his practice. As an entrepreneur he embarked on a socially fueled journey that flowed into two cultural venues called Garage Noord and kanaal40. One focussed on offering a progressive cultural program and the other showing a dedication to micropopculture. Both serving as explorative safe havens for a diverse and inclusive public, both objecting to cultural institutions being pushed outside of cities borders.

This vision comes to life maintaining a practical approach with extensive experience in working with model- and material studies, sketching, collages and maquettes. His design process is intuitive and physical, and an overview of his relevant work is available to review here.
