Studio Wieman
Studio Wieman is a converted garage now serving as a multifunctional space for events and creative gatherings. After thirty years as an automotive workshop, an industrial foam spray treatment removed accumulated petrol and diesel vapours. The building's original character was revealed: its steel structure, skylights and cassette roof panels became visible again. A bar, kitchen and sanitary facilities have been integrated to support the venue's varied programming. The result is a raw space where industrial heritage remains present and provides an authentic setting for contemporary use.

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.
