Makers
Doorspace is the makerspace of Qeske, Maastricht’s startup hub, where making, experimentation and collaboration come together. Home to a growing network of makers, designers, artists and creative entrepreneurs, Doorspace is a place where ideas move from concept to prototype and beyond.
Use the interactive map to explore the ateliers across our two levels and discover the makers working within the space.
Beyond the resident studios, Doorspace also welcomes a wider community of creatives and professionals who use the workshop, contribute to projects and enrich the ecosystem without holding a permanent studio.
Whether you’re exploring the space, searching for a future atelier, or looking to connect with the community, this page introduces the people who make Doorspace what it is.
