We are proud to share that Gebouw KB – Connectr Innovation Lab has been nominated for the Willem Diehl Award 2025. This prestigious Arnhem-based architecture award is granted to the best project in the field of restoration, renovation, transformation, or repurposing.

The iconic building has been transformed and repurposed from a former nylon factory into a dynamic space for business activities, research, and events centered around sustainable energy. The impressive metamorphosis, led by architectural firm Space Encounters and commissioned by Schipper Bosch for Cleantech Park Arnhem, reflects both industrial heritage and forward-looking innovation.
