Ten years ago, sisters Femke and Anne Kleijweg founded their social catering company Firma van Buiten on the Jacoba van Beierenlaan in Delft. A characteristic place, but after 10 years and with a staff of 35 strong, they had grown out of their location.

Firma van Buiten moved to TU Delft Campus. The new sustainable accommodation on the corner of Heertjeslaan and Thijsseweg has a surface area of ​​1000 square meters.

The new accommodation of 500 square meters (GFA) is a sustainable and circular building on the water. Because Firma van Buiten can stay for at least 10 years, a suitable solution has been sought that can meet all wishes and requirements but is also of a temporary nature. The materials that are used are circular, which means that at some point they can be used elsewhere or have already been used elsewhere and are now going to serve the Firma building.
