Westbeat is located in Nieuw-West near the Lelylaan. A striking building with different functions. In addition to living and working, there is also room for recreation and cultural activities. The core of the building is a collective ‘Super Space’, where residents, entrepreneurs and passers-by can meet.

Vivian ter Haar lives on the twelfth floor of Westbeat and enjoys the view every day. “You kind of feel like you’re living in New York at night,” she says. She also likes the activity in the building. “There are a lot of companies down here and that makes it cool. It kind of gives off a mixed vibe.”

ICK Dans Amsterdam, a dance company, has a studio on the ground floor of Westbeat. Director Pieter C. Scholten says that he had been trying to find a good space for years. ”In old buildings there are always pillars. This space is 15 by 15 square meters with no pillars, so that’s great.”
