about

// the space

lokaalhost:22 is a community makerspace in Amsterdam. We operate out of Lokaal 432, a room inside the former Olympus school building at Erich Salomonstraat 432.

The building has been repurposed as a cultural and creative hub. Our corner houses workbenches, soldering stations, 3D printers, a collection of microcontrollers, and whatever else members drag in.

// the name

localhost:22 — the SSH port on your own machine. We took it literally: a lokaal (Dutch for “room” or “classroom”) that you can connect to. Hence lokaalhost:22.

// the people

Software devs, hardware tinkerers, artists, curious minds. No membership fees, no gatekeeping — just show up and make things.
