ALL ABOUT THE CEILING:
Back to school!
This renovation project transforms a 30-year-old school interior into a more contemporary and engaging environment for students and staff.
Colour plays a central role: each refurbished space is defined by a single colour accent applied to the ceiling. This simple gesture strengthens spatial identity and brings softness to an otherwise technical environment.
In the canteen, a muted pink ceiling paired with custom wooden furniture creates a warm, domestic atmosphere.
More than just a place to eat, this space becomes a social hub within the school.

IN BETWEEN:
Now you see it, now you don’t. The facade renovation at Frankrijklei 121 was based on a grid of panels with subtle seams. The new protruding window surrounds are a nod to the framed windows of the townhouse next door. On a sunny day, its shadows create a graphic interplay with the grid. At night, the facade lighting comes into view, once again aligned with paneling and windows.

IN BETWEEN:
The design choices for the facade renovation at Frankrijklei 121 were first and foremost contextual. Sitting in between the curtain-walled Financia bank building and the grand neoclassicist Dhanis townhouse, VIVA created a balanced line-play related to the facades of both neighbors. Material-wise, the beige paneling fits neatly into the color scheme of the Frankrijklei.

Frankrijklei no. 121 got a new coat! As the existing facade panels came loose, the opportunity arose to address the ’80 building and carry out an energy-efficient renovation. The graphic looking 80ties facade with with cut-outs and overhangs was evened out to make way for a more serene architectural look, in tune with its prominent neighbors.

SPACE WELL:
Efficiency in time, budget, and sustainability was key to the renovation of the Spacewell office. VIVA repurposed furniture, reused glass partitions, and sourced local flooring materials. Wooden profiles for glass walls minimized costs and delivery times. This circular approach ensured a responsible and cost-effective transformation.
Thanks for the great teamwork, @deholi.interieur! 🙌

SPACE WELL:
Distinct zoning for office re-design. The entrance area embraces Spacewell’s blue branding, featuring a reception, breakout space, and visitor waiting area. The second zone, with neutral tones, includes workstations, enclosed offices, and a lounge. This transformation does not only optimize the use of space but aims to strengthen connections within the team in a dynamic and inviting environment by offering a variety of areas ranging from quiet focus areas to collaborative spaces.
Great execution by @deholi.interieur! 🙏

Before and after of the office’s breakout space! 👀
Office space re-imagined. As remote work becomes the norm, there is less demand for traditional workstations. At Spacewell’s Wilrijk office, only 30% of desks were occupied. Meeting rooms sat empty or were used as individual workspaces, leading to unused space, higher costs, and reduced team spirit. To fix this, VIVA partnered with the client to create a budget-friendly redesign, transforming the office into a cozy, collaborative workspace, encouraging employees to return.
