The unique approach of Marres Projects, namely contributing to policy development and product innovation through commissions from commercial companies and governmental agencies, is increasingly taking shape. Recently, Marres Projects received a commission by the advisory committee Area Development Maastricht Valkenburg. This advisory committee is looking for a vision on the area surrounding the Plenkertstraat in Valkenburg, a vision that connects the cultural facilities in the area with the restaurants and hotels, giving the area an extra impulse. From September onwards, a number of designers in cooperation with Maurer United, will start working on this assignment, which will be presented in a symposium at the end of November.
