For VIVA color is key! A fresh green touch appears throughout the building. The concrete plinth at the base of the facade visually unites the two former buildings into one. The window frames and cornice are also finished in the same shade, referencing the colorful facade details of 18th-century architecture. This careful use of color not only strengthens the project's unity but also adds a playful and fresh touch to the renovated complex.

The upper one has exclusive access to a rooftop terrace with a breathtaking panorama over Antwerp. All units have optimal use of space, features private outdoor areas and offer lots of natural light, enhancing the living comfort.

Two neglected buildings in Antwerp North have been merged into one residential complex, reducing the number of units from seven to five. The original living conditions were poor, but now the homes have been upgraded to meet the living quality according to current standards. Authentic elements, such as the staircase and the raw brick walls, have been preserved to maintain the building’s character. A fresh green color, inspired by historic color accents, is used for the concrete elements, the window frames and cornice. Together with the white facade, this results in a new fresh appearance.

THE DUKE:
The new office concept features different zones for different work styles. Calls are made in specially designed phone booths in the corridor, instead of the workspaces, ensuring a quiet and efficient environment. A smarter and more comfortable way to work!

THE DUKE:
This listed office building in Brussels was carefully renovated to meet contemporary work standards while preserving its architectural heritage. The Flemish Government had strict requirements for its new office space in a protected historic building. Sustainability was a key factor, and VIVA Architecture designed the interior according to NWOW (New Ways of Working) principles. The result? A flexible, modern workplace that perfectly fits the needs of its users while respecting the building’s heritage!

VIVA OFFICE:
We chose an open office layout, which creates a cozy and collaborative atmosphere. However, there are times when privacy is needed for meetings. That’s why we defined the meeting room with a curtain. To further separate our workspaces from the meeting room and quiet areas, we installed an acoustic sliding wall. One side is finished in a warm pink tone, while the other side has a reflective chrome finish. This not only provides a visual contrast but also enhances sound insulation, allowing us to work and meet in peace.

VIVA OFFICE:
At VIVA, we choose color – not just in the projects we create, but of course also in the space where we work. The walls, the many curtains (which serve both to divide the space and block out the sun), our sliding wall, and the kitchen all reflect colors, contributing to the dynamic feel of our office. Green and pink tones bring warmth, softness, and a spark of creativity to the space. It’s a place that feels both cozy and lively, constantly inspiring us.

VIVA OFFICE:
We’re sharing a few photos of our own office, which we’re excited to finally have captured, by @lucid.lucid.
We feel truly lucky to have our office with a view of the beautiful Scheldt. Watching the boats drift by and the ever-changing water outside adds something special to every workday. And the sunsets… they are simply breathtaking. Our light-filled workspace radiates a sense of calm and feels like a home away from home, perfectly nestled in the heart of Antwerp. Surrounded by the bustling city life, with charming cafés and boutiques, our office offers a peaceful place where we can focus and create.
