Baroeg, located in Rotterdam-Zuid since 1981, has been a leading pop venue for alternative music genres for more than four decades. The current building, originally designed as a community centre, has adapted its function over the years to accommodate a wide range of subcultures. However, with its growing popularity and changing demands of artists and visitors, it no longer meets contemporary needs.
Baroeg caters to lovers of underground and alternative music, ranging from young people discovering new genres to seasoned fans. The new building is designed with this diverse target group in mind, with a focus on inclusivity and accessibility.
The new Baroeg will be a modern pop venue that meets the highest standards in terms of sound quality, capacity and sustainability and will feature:
More space for visitors, while maintaining an intimate atmosphere.
Optimisation of acoustics and technology for a superior music experience.
Energy-efficient solutions that contribute to a lower carbon footprint.
Facilities suitable for a variety of events, from concerts to workshops.
With this renovation, Baroeg not only stays true to its rich history, but also becomes an enduring home base and breeding ground for alternative music culture.

The municipality of Rotterdam is developing the new accommodation. We are closely involved in the development and guide Baroeg through the entire building process, from initiative to completion. We offer strategic advice and project management to ensure that the new building is not only functional and future-proof, but also retains Baroeg’s unique intimate atmosphere.
